Kristin Chenoweth Returning to ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Tonight Following Afternoon Absence

Kristin Chenoweth may have missed today's matinee of Broadway's ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, but rest assured Roundabout patrons, she'll be back in action as Lily Garland at this evening's performance.

Chenoweth took to Twitter this afternoon to confirm she'd be leading the charge alongside Peter Gallagher tonight, tweeting: "I'm coming back into show tonight. I won't be looking to the left or laying down flat but I will be there."

The Tony and Emmy winner has previously struggled with neck and back pain in the past, and recently suffered from a bout of vertigo, causing her to miss the benefit VOICES FOR THE VOICELESS: STARS FOR FOSTER KIDS.

Roundabout Theatre Company presents the classic musical On the Twentieth Century, starring Tony & Emmy Award winner Chenoweth, Golden Globe & SAG Award winner & Tony nominee Peter Gallagher, Tony nominee Andy Karl, Mark Linn-Baker, Tony winner Michael McGrath and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson.

On the Twentieth Century is choreographed by Tony winner Warren Carlyle and directed by six-time Tony nominee Scott Ellis, and features music by Cy Coleman and book & lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. On the Twentieth Century is based on plays by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur & Bruce Millholland.

It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train traveling from Chicago to New York City. Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee (Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark BETWEEN these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway?
