In the choir room, Kurt and Angie are talking to Brittany.

"So, what are you going to be for Halloween this year?" Kurt asks.

Brittany smiles. "I'm going as a peanut allergy."

Angie is about to say something when Will walks in holding scripts. "Great news guys! I've had a little inspiration. This week's musical lesson isn't really a lesson. It's a musical." He announces.

Rachel looks up. "Please be Evita. Please be Evita. Please be Evita." She whispers.

Will smiles. "Rocky Horror!"

Everyone breaks into chatter.

"I've never seen it." Finn states.

Angie smirks. "I love Rocky Horror!"

Rachel looks concerned. "Mr. Schue?"

"Yeah?" Will states.

"While I admire your choice of a groundbreaking 70's musical, aren't you worried that the adult themes might be a point of controversy?" Rachel asks.

Kurt nods. "Seriously, a school in Texas couldn't even do Rent. It caused an outrage and they had to cancel the show."

Angie frowns. "Rent's in my Top 10 Broadway Shows."

"Isn't that the whole point of the arts? Pushing boundaries? Doing things people say you can't do for the sake of self-expression?" He asks. Brittany and Artie nod intensely.

"Look, I figured it all out. I cut out some of the more risqué sections and I'm sending home permission slips to all your parents to make sure they're okay with it." Will continues and hands out the permission slips.

"And we're going to charge admission and use the proceeds to help pay for transportation to nationals in New York!" Will finishes.

New Directions gasps and murmurs their agreement. "Okay, let's talk about casting." Will smiles.

Rachel shoots her hand up. "Oh! Finn and I will play Brad and Janet."

Will points to Rachel and nods his approval. He walks over to the piano to write down their names.

"I actually wanted to be Janet, Mr. Shue." Angie states.

Rachel glares at her. "Angie, he already gave me the part of Janet. But don't worry. You'll make a great Columbia or Magenta." She says with a sickly sweet tone.

Finn looks back at Angie with a sad smile.

Artie speaks up. "And I'll be playing the guy in the wheelchair, right?"

Will smiles. "That's what I was thinking. And, I thought Kurt could play the role of Frankenfurter."

Angie looks offended that their teacher would even think about Kurt playing a transvestite. She's not against transvestism, but Kurt is not Frankenfurter material.

Kurt shakes his head. "No. There is no way I'm playing a transvestite in high heels and fishnets and wearing lipstick!"

Santana smirks. "Why, 'cause that look was last season?"

Kurt turns and looks angrily at Santana.

"Do you ever say anything that's not insulting?" Angie asks.
