Move over, Gwyneth Paltrow, there’s another Oscar winner headed to Glee.
EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg will join the McKinley High clan as Carmen Tibideaux, a professor at the fictional NYADA (New York Academy of Dramatic Arts).
Glee fans will remember NYADA as the Julliard-esque performing arts school Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Cris Colfer) are trying to attend after high school.
Glee Star Lea Michele took to Twitter with the news:
