"Theatricality" is another musically funny and touching episode of "Glee"
16 October 2010 | by (Baton Rouge, La.) – See all my reviews

In this episode of "Glee": Principal Figgins tells Tina to stop dressing as a Goth because he has issues with what that entails. When Quinn, Mercedes, and Rachel spy on Shelby's glee team-Rachel decides to finally confront Shelby about being her daughter. Since Shelby is inspired by Lady Gaga, Will has the girls (and Kurt) also do one of her songs in such-like costumes. Finn, Puck, and the rest of the boys decide to dress and perform like KISS in response. And when Finn finds out his mother and Kurt's father are moving in together-meaning Finn and Kurt may also live together-he has mixed feelings...This was another musically entertaining and dramatically touching episode of "Glee" especially when Kurt's father stood up for his son when Finn said a certain word and when Rachel and Shelby came to the conclusion that though they'll never really be like mother and daughter, they will still respect each other as equals in musical talent as evidenced by their first official duet here (as opposed to the "dream" one they had previously). Great songs from both the Gaga and KISS catalogue, not to mention the title song from the Broadway musical "Funny Girl" as interpreted by the great Idina Menzel at the beginning of this episode. Only two more to go before the first season finale. Can't wait!
