On the recent article about Kristin Chenoweth returning to the Good Wife set, I found this a few paragraphs in:
"On Broadway, Chenoweth has appeared in Steel Pier, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Epic Proportions, Funny Girl, Wicked, The Apple Tree, Promises, Promises, and On the Twentieth Century. Her Off-Broadway credits include The Fantasticks, Box Office of the Damned, Scapin, Strike Up the Band, A New Brain, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Candide, The Apple Tree, Stairway to Paradise, Love, Loss and What I Wore."
It says she has appeared in On the Twentieth Century, but that was only an announcement. It was rumored and maybe it will come to Broadway someday, but it hasn't yet... Am I missing something here?
Quite recently ( maybe in the last 2 weeks or so), she responded to a twitter question on whether she was doing the show or not. I remember reading that she said YES!
Sorry, can't find the actual tweet. We will just have to wait for an announcement, if true.
Pretty sure there's nothing definite. Although for a while wasn't Jackman attached to this? I hope it happens. I adore the show. I fondly recall seeing at Goodspeed around 99. Not quite old enough to have caught Madeline Kahn or Judy Kaye.
Given her luck with scenery is this the right show for her? To be hit by a speeding train could do some real damage.
It is a terrific show. I saw Keith Michell and Julia McKemzie in London - both wonderful. McKenzie in particular was brilliant (her best performance and she has given some great ones). From what I have read and heard about Kahn versus Kaye - I suspect she might have been the ideal combination with the comedy skills of Kahn and the vocal chops of Kaye.
She did the Roundabout reading with Jackman as Oscar and Andrea Martin as Mrs. Primrose.
I doubt Jackman would do a full production for Roundabout, but the role is perfect for Chenoweth and Martin would be sensational. Would also be fun to see Judy Kaye in that role, too. I hope this does happen.
She did an interview a while ago talking about how Hugh Jackman wasn't as invested in the project as she was, but I thought it was pretty well known she's coming back with it in the spring.
Wow I didn't know it was happening in the spring! I hope it does! I've never seen the show, but I recently saw a clip of Judy Kaye and the cast performing at the 1978 (that was the year right?) Tony Awards. I would love to see a production of this! Especially with Chenoweth. She is perfect for the role.
