Opening night, a single spotlight, the intense brow on Rachel's face tells the viewers, she's nervous. Last night on Glee, Rachel Berry had her opening night on Broadway in "Funny Girl." The episode begins with Rachel's anxiety beginning to build with the fear of performing on Broadway for the first time. On the other hand, the rest of the cast couldn't be more excited for their shining star's big day.
The entire gang comes into town, even Sue, (The mean cheerleading coach who has hated Rachel since freshman year.) Of course, Sue makes everything worse and Rachel is already nervous enough. However, the one to save the day, (and Funny Girl) would be Rachel's high school "friend," Santana Lopez. The audience of course believed Santana was going to give Rachel a pep-talk, but surprisingly she read her some bad reviews. Rachel is already panicked enough and wonders why Santana would do this to her. Santana, then proceeds to tell Rachel that these reviews were written in 1964 about Barbra Streisand, when she played "Fanny Brice" in Funny Girl.
This boosted Rachel's self esteem and allowed for an outstanding opening night.
The only concern Rachel had was Sue leaving the show early and walking right over the New York Times critic.
The whole gang waited up all night for the review that would determine Rachel's career. Of course, the critic loved the show, and loved Rachel even more.
I like your blog posts because I don't watch Glee but I feel like I know everything about Glee now that I've read your posts. It seems like a pretty interesting show and I think I might start watching it after reading your posts. Keep up the good work!
