“Glee” season 5, episode 17: “Opening Night” premieres tonight on Fox.
Break a leg, Rachel! The night has finally arrived for Rachel’s Broadway debut in “Funny Girl,” and she has very special guests in town to support her career-defining moment.
Fox describes the show as follows:
“’Glee’ follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the school’s once top-flight, but now moribund Glee Club and inspire a group of talented but unfocused performers to make it to, and win, the biggest competition of them all: Nationals.
“In his way is not just the indifferent principal, but also the sponsors of the cheerleading and football groups, both of whom see his efforts as detracting from their own. In addition to the regular cast, Glee has featured guest appearances by a wide range of talented performers, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Carol Burnett, John Stamos, Britney Spears, Kristen Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Molly Shannon, Olivia Newton-John and Neil Patrick Harris, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show.”
“Glee” season 5, episode 17 airs April 22 at 8:00 p.m. EST on Fox. Check out the preview and sneak peek videos:
