Alas, it looks like there's no Glee musical hitting the stage...for now at least.    

Cue the sad music.                           

While reports surfaced last week that Glee producers were working on a stage version of the show with Music Theater International, Fox was quick to shut down those rumors. 

"We are very careful and deliberate when contemplating brand extensions of our franchises and are mystified why Music Theater Intl. would claim there have been any such discussions about a live theatrical version of Glee," Fox TV spokesman Chris Alexander said in a statement. 

In brighter Glee news, however, the show's cast is set to release a special album April 20. 

So which megastar artist's hits will the cast be covering?

The Gleesters will be singing along to Madonna's hottest tunes!

"Express Yourself," "Borderline/Open Your Heart," "Vogue," "Like a Virgin," "4 Minutes," "What It Feels Like for a Girl" and "Like a Prayer" are listed on the album's track list thus far.

That along with the upcloming Glee concert tour should provide some solace for Gleeks. We hope.
