Watch the Trailer & a Sneak Peek from The Mayor

Lea Michele performed at the ABC Upfront in New York City today, May 16. Lea was at the event to not only help open the show, but to also promote her new ABC comedy, The Mayor.

The trailer and a sneak peek from the new show can be found above. The Mayor follows “Young rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) who needs his big break. For years he’s toiled away in a small inner-city apartment, making music in his junk-filled bedroom closet. Tired of waiting for opportunity, Courtney cooks up the publicity stunt of the century – running for mayor of his hometown in California to generate buzz for his music career.

Unfortunately for Courtney, his master plan goes wildly awry, ending in the most terrifying of outcomes: an election victory. With the help of his mother (Yvette Nicole Brown, “Community”) and friends, including Valentina (“Glee’s” Lea Michele), Courtney will have to overcome his hubris if he wants to transform the struggling city he loves.”

The show will air Tuesday nights on ABC this Fall.
