She plays tough-as-nails cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester who gives Matthew Morrison's character a hard time on Glee.

But there was no animosity between Jane Lynch and the actor on Wednesday night.

The pair were seen giving each other a kiss on the lips during Jane's solo cabaret debut at 54 Below in New York City.

Jane, 53, is currently performing her first concert, a four-night series alongside a three-piece band at the venue, which used to be a disco in the 1970s, according to the NY Daily News.

She opened up to the Associated Press about her performance.

'It's just a bunch of songs that I like to sing, hopefully some engaging patter, and I hope everybody has a good time and I'm not holding people hostage,' she said.

But concertgoers shouldn't expect a theme for the evening.

'Everybody told me as you pick songs that a theme will emerge all by itself. Nothing emerged. There's very little tying these songs together. I say, "Come with me on a musical journey through a world of songs that actually have very little to do with each other,"' she said.

Jane made her Broadway debut last year as Mrs Hannigan in Annie, and was eager to get back to the stage.

'I didn't have any conscious plans to do Broadway but I always wanted to. So when I got the Annie gig, everything in me screamed "No!" but of course I said, "Yes." I was so happy I did it and I got the bug back.

'I saw Matt Morrison perform here and I said to myself, "Self, this would be fun for you, Jane." And then I got the call: Would you like four days? Everything inside of me screamed "No!" but I said, "Yes."

Jane also gave fans some tidbits on the upcoming Glee season.

'We're going into a sixth season. I think it's going to be half a season. I think we're going back to McKinley High. I think. I don't know any of this for sure. But that's the word on the street.'

The actress said the show will leave a 'powerful' legacy.

'I don't think you can underestimate truly how powerful this show has been and will continue to be: It's the place where you can go where you're celebrated for who you are. It's this safe refuge for kids. That's what we're all looking for. We're still in high school, a lot of us.'
