On last night's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE on Bravo, a caller asked guest Kristin Chenoweth which actresses she would cast as Glinda and Elphaba in the upcoming WICKED movie. "If we're talking about people in their 40's, of course I'd cast myself and Idina," she revealed, but find out who else she has in mind for the iconic roles!

Later, Chenoweth tells Andy Cohen the status of her musical about Christian singer Tammy Faye Bakker and reveals when they are getting the script in January. "It's a passion project of mine," says the star. Watch the videos below!

Chenoweth recently released her new album, "The Art of Elegance." The Tony winner will soon return to the stage in MY LOVE LETTER TO BROADWAY, directed by Richard Jay-Alexander. The limited engagement begins November 2, 2016 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and will run through November 13, 2016.

After stealing hearts with her show-stopping turn in YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, which earned her a Tony Award, Chenoweth rose to Broadway super-stardom as Glinda in WICKED, a performance so iconic it changed the Great White Way for good. She's since become a sweetheart of the small and silver screens, dazzling audiences across the globe with her powerhouse vocals and irresistible charm. Most recently, this celebrated leading lady returned to the stage in ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
