Recently I had the delectable delight of talking to one of the sweetest and sexiest (and shockingly super-talented) stars of stage and screen who can currently be seen on the hit of all TV hits, GLEE, in her recurring role as April Rhodes, as well as in the new Disney comedy YOU AGAIN co-starring Sigourney Weaver, Kristen Bell, Victor Garber, Cloris Leachman and Betty White: the Tony Award and Emmy-winning actress and operatic chanteuse herself, Ms. Kristin Chenoweth! In this BWW exclusive InDepth InterView we talk about filming the first of several new episodes of GLEE for season two, working on Broadway with GLEE lead (and show love interest) Matt Morrison, what singing Sondheim means to her as a person and as a performer, what GLEE means to Broadway, as well as a thorough discussion of her new Disney film YOU AGAIN directed by Andy Fickman. We also touch on her early Broadway work in A NEW BRAIN and the words and music of William Finn. She has it all - and the success in each form of media to prove it - so it is a special treat to present InDepth InterView: Kristin Chenoweth.

The upcoming Los Angeles reading of SOME MEN will inlude performances by Matt Gould, David Alan Grier, Justin Kirk and Jeffrey Tambor. As reported previously, Alan Cumming, John Glover, Luke MacFarlane, and Jason Ritter are also set for the production.

Broadway veteran Kristin Chenoweth will be returning as everyone's favorite alcoholic, April Rhodes, for season two of the hit series GLEE. She says,'I'm going back in two weeks to do Glee. I did hear April will be stripping and it made me nervous - made me not want to eat. I'm not going to practice it because I don't think April would know how!'

As BroadwayWorld has previously reported, John Stamos is one of many celebrity guest stars lined up for the second season of GLEE, which premieres tonight, September 21, on Fox. Today, Stamos posted this shot of him with the GLEE cast via his twitter.
