Kristin Chenoweth to star in DEATH BECOMES HER Musical Adaption — Page 3

The list of non-produced musicals officially announced and starring Kristin Chenoweth is enormous."

To be fair, none of the shows currently attached to Kristin were ever formally announced. There have been workshops, and there was talk about them, but no producer ever said "This is going to happen" for any of them.

I believe both Soapdish and Tammy Faye are still in the works. She did a song from Soapdish at her Broadway concert last year. Dolly was never more than her saying she'd love to do it one day and people getting excited about it. Considering that show is in the middle of a successful revival right now, I'd say this may very well be in her future 10-15 years from now, when she will still be younger than Bette and Bernadette are now. Best Little Whorehouse was one workshop and nothing since. The problem with these stories is the clickbait of the broadway news sites, that are all overstating the facts to make it sound more exciting.

That being said, the fact remains that Kristin has been attached to many projects for years and nothing has happened (except OTTC after 4 or so years). I hope that changes soon and that we get to see her originate something again! And for someone to write a show for her.

I'm not holding my breath for this though until they have an actual show on the paper. Right now it's no more than an idea and really there shouldn't have been such a big announcement until they have at least a creative team and a concept/draft/workshop...
