The biggest day of Rachel and Kurt’s life is here: their NYADA audition. We get to watch it unfold tonight on episode 3×18 “Choke.”

Tonight’s episode features guest star Whoopi Goldberg as Carmen, the NYADA judge who comes to Ohio to audition Kurt and Rachel.

Tonight’s synopsis:

Kurt and Rachel get ready for their audition for NYADA, and are thrown off-stride when they discover they will be performing for the school’s dean, Carmen Tibideaux (Whoopi Goldberg). Puck’s father (Thomas Calabro) shows up in Lima, which results in Puck making a decision about his future. Coach Beiste reveals a secret, and gets help from her fellow coaches Sue and Roz Washington (Nene Leakes).

Last week, we had a very fun and exciting live chat room while the episode aired! We’ll be doing that every week from now until the end of season 3. So check back tonight for a separate post where you can join in on the conversation!
