Kristin Chenoweth Unlikely to Return to GLEE

GLEE has had its fair share of Broadway guest stars on the musicAl Fox show, but one who likely won't be returning is Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth. 

Chenoweth played April Rhodes in GLEE, a role for which she was Emmy-nominated last year. In that role, she sang songs like "Last Name" (Carrie Underwood) and "Alone" (Heart). This season she reprised her role singing "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac).

Backstage at Dancing With the Stars last night, the actress told The Hollywood Reporter that she doesn't think she'll be making another appearance on GLEE anytime soon. "I don't think so," she said. "I would love it, but I don't think Ryan Murphy has any plans for April Rhodes."

Chenoweth has had an extraordinarily diverse career. In November 2010 she was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame for her achievements. She won a Tony Award for her role as Sally Brown in the Broadway musical You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, and is also celebrated for originating the role of Glinda in Wicked. In 2010, she appeared as Fran Kubelik in Promises, Promises alongside Sean Hayes.

She won an Emmy Award for her performance as Olive Snook in the television dramedy Pushing Daisies. Chenoweth is best known on TV for playing Annabeth Schott in The West Wing. She also had her own TV series, Kristin. Her film credits include Bewitched, The Pink Panther, Running With Scissors, Stranger Than Fiction, Four Christmases and RV.
