Kristin Chenoweth is one of Broadway's biggest standout exports since Barbra Streisand. It used to be that Broadway actors would go to LA for pilot season and very often come home empty handed. Ever since her first appearance on Broadway in STEEL PIER, the Kander & Ebb musical, directed by Scott Ellis with choreography by Susan Stroman, the girl hasn't stopped. It was WICKED that threw her fully into the mainstream and she didn't even win the Tony that year.

Deadline.com is reporting that Broadway (and BroadwayWorld) favorite Kristin Chenoweth will be co-starring in the pilot for the new ABC dramedy - Good Christian Bitches. Chenoweth will co-star with Leslie Bibb and will play Darlene, the beautiful and manipulative head of this group of women, the G.C.Bs. They report that 'A classic Dallas housewife and villain motivated by her skewed sense of goodness, Darlene is a good Christian woman who goes to church regularly, knows her Scripture, and has no compunctions about breaking a few Commandments here and there. She was once one of the girls Amanda was mean to, but she's now too much of a good Christian to do anything more than forgive Amanda and welcome her back to her hometown.'
