Review: GLEE season 2, episode 5 “The Rocky Horror Glee Show”

I have my reservations about how this latest themed episode will turn out. There has been varying success with the previous attempts and I am hoping “The Rocky Horror Glee Show” won’t be listed in the bad column. Surprisingly, it has many good points but there are also a few issues which need to be addressed.

Spurred by his jealousy of Carl (John Stamos) and Emma’s (Jayma Mays) relationship, Will (Matthew Morrison) puts on a production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The episode gives rare solo opportunities for a few of the cast members. Stamos gets his first number while we are treated to an exceptional solo from Mays. These performances, as well as one by Mercedes (Amber Riley), are great to hear. It would have been easier for the writers to have Kurt (Chris Colfer) play the role of ‘Frank-N-Furter’ but they choose to have Mercedes play the role after Mike (Harry Shum Jr.) pulls out.
