Peter Gallagher to Star Opposite Kristin Chenoweth in ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY?
by Robert Diamond - Aug 7, 2013

She'd play Lily Garland, the temperamental movie star (Madeline Kahn in the original). It's a perfect role for her, and she generated good buzz when she appeared in a reading at the Roundabout a couple of years ago.'
