In the episode, the McKinley High School's glee club "New Directions" travels from Lima, Ohio to New York City to compete in the national glee club competition. While taking in the sights of New York City, Rachel and Kurt (played by Lea Michele and Chris Colfer) sneak onto the stage of the Broadway blockbuster Wicked to perform one of the show's hit songs, "For Good."
The episode airs on Tuesday, May 24th (9:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m., ET) on the FOX Television Network.
Winner of 35 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz.

WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
