She also has numerous TV credits, including recurring roles as Annabeth Schott in The West Wing, an Emmy Award winning performance as Olive Snook in Pushing Daisies, and an Emmy nominated performance as April Rhodes in Glee.
Conducting Chenoweth’s UK tour will be Rob Fisher, founding Musical Director and Conductor of the Encores! series, at New York’s City Center, and sound and lighting design will be by Matt Berman. In addition, the cast of singers and dancers will be Tyler Hanes, who is also the choreographer, Will Taylor and Jennifer Diamond.
The show premieres at the London Coliseum on 11 March, before visiting the Manchester Opera House on 13 March, Edinburgh Festival Theatre on 15 March and Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on 17 March.
