Glee ended its six-season run in 2015, but 10 years later, Lea Michele is giving Gleeks a taste of what her ballad-belting character, Rachel Berry, would sound like today singing pop songs from the 2020s.

Christopher Joseph, a Gleek who attended Michele’s tour stop in Orlando on May 8, shared a video on TikTok of the 38-year-old Glee alum and mother of two kids performing a live medley of catchy songs.

In the six-minute video, Michele channels her charismatic Glee character — gesticulations and vocal runs included — while singing Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” Ariana Grande’s “we can’t be friends (wait for your love),” Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “vampire,” Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For,” Rodrigo’s “drivers license” and Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.”

Fans in the audience can be heard cheering enthusiastically as Michele transitions from song to song during the seven-song medley.

The Funny Girl alum previously told PEOPLE that she’d be performing songs from her Glee stint during her North American tour, which kicked off on May 5 in North Carolina and ends June 28 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

“Fans can look forward to an evening that is both intimate and nostalgic, filled with some of my personal favorite songs that I’ve had the privilege of performing throughout my career,” she teased in March. “I’ll be performing songs fromFunny Girl, Glee,as well as tracks from my albums, while sharing stories that connect these songs to my life and to the audience. And, of course, there will be a few delightful surprises along the way.”
