Multi-award-winning Broadway and Hollywood legend Shirley MacLaine is set to appear in multiple episodes of FOX's hit musical dramedy series Glee this season and a behind the scenes chat with the actress alongside series star Darren Criss is now available to view in a new featurette.

"I think we're going to sing a song from PIPPIN," MacLaine says of the upcoming "Magic To Do" performance.

MacLaine will essay the role of a Manhattan socialite who takes a liking to new NYC transplant Blaine, portrayed by Broadway headliner and Glee breakout star Darren Criss, according to new reports.

Of note, MacLaine's first appearance on the series is set to occur on this week's "The Back-Up Plan" episode.
