Rachel headlines this week's Season 5 episode 17 "Glee" titled, "Opening Night." The episode follows Lea Michele's character, Rachel, after her debut in "Funny Girl." In the episode that airs April 22, the gang all show up to support Rachel on her big moment.
According to Fox's description of the episode:
"With her Broadway debut looming large, Rachel - feeling the mounting pressure of opening night - wakes from her 'actor's nightmare.' Despite almost unanimous critical praise following the show's previews, she finds herself falling victim to the seemingly endless stream of random bloggers and anonymous internet trolls determined to tear her down. While Kurt does his best to insulate her from the haters - turning the loft into a 'hermetically sealed love bubble filled with nothing but positive affirmations' - he finds it a near impossible task, and the rest of the gang must pitch in to try and rouse Rachel from her uncharacteristic bout of insecurity in time for the curtain to rise. Meanwhile, Sue tags along with Will and the pair travel to New York for Rachel's big night. While Will hopes to support his former student as she tries to fulfill her lifelong dream, Sue attends the show operating under the assumption it will flop and Rachel will choke. However, both Will and Sue get more than they bargained for when their evenings take unexpected turns."
The episode also highlights the trip of Will and Sue to New York and it's interesting to see what will happen with Will heading to the Big Apple to support Rachel, while Sue is there to do the opposite, writes Hypable.
The episode is a musical masterpiece with its rendition of Broadway classics, including "I'm the Greatest Star" and "Who Are You Now."
