Kristin Chenoweth May Return to CBS's THE GOOD WIFE

In an interview with today's THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, stage and screen star Kristin Chenoweth revealed that she would consider a return guest appearance on the CBS drama series THE GOOD WIFE. The actress was seriously injured in Brooklyn, New York last summer on the set of the show when a piece of lighting equipment fell on her during filming.

In the interview, the 'Glee' star shares that her current health status is close to 100%. "So much better," she tells THR. "I still have issues. My nose and my neck. But my head? I had a five-inch skull fracture and that's all healed. My ribs have healed. I have three cracked teeth to get filled, still, but yeah: it sucked. It sucked and you know what sucked most? That I didn't get to do the character. The arc that I was supposed to do on the show."

Commenting on the possibility of a return to the long-running CBS legal drama Chenoweth shares, "You know, we talked about it a little. I think certainly I'd be lucky to get to work with any of them. And of course Alan [Cumming] and I are good friends. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I've now been booked trying to make up concerts that I missed because I was out of the loop for three months. It took me a while to get my words back and everything back. ... I feel good! I really do."

The 44-year-old recently appeared on this year's Academy Awards show, joining host Seth MacFarlane in an uproarious duet which paid tribute to the night's losers. She will next be seen on the big screen in the dark comedy 'Family Weekend,' opposite Matthew Modine. The film arrives in theaters on March 29th.

The Tony award winner is currently attached to several upcoming Broadway projects, including a stage adaptation of the Cult 1991 comedy Soapdish, a revival of On the Twentieth Century and a new musical based on the life of televagelist Tammy Faye Bakker. Of the latter she comments, "We've only done one reading of it, and we'll do another reading soon with a new script. But the music is fantastic. She [Baker] is a gift to me as an actress. The one thing I like about her was very faithful. She was strong person of faith. But she was faced with lots of evil in her life and [the musical chronicles] how she dealt with it. And I want to show that."
