Kristin Chenoweth Posts Photo Of Firefighter Backstage At ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY: 'Thank You Fireman Ron'

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY resumes after a fire alarm!

Acclaimed revival of Cy Coleman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green's musical comedy classic ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY starring Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher received multiple 2015 Tony Award nominations including Best Actress In A Musical and Chenoweth shared a shot of herself alongside a firefighter attending to a fire alarm backstage on social media this week.

Reportedly, a fire alarm went off during a performance of the show earlier this week and FDNY firefighters arrived on the scene to assess the situation, allowing the performers to continue with the show after an extended pause in the middle of the performance.

UPDATE: a BroadwayWorld reader named Erin Ostrowski shared her personal perspective of the event in a comment on the Facebook posting of this article, sharing, "We were there! Peter Gallagher entertained us and answered questions during the delay."

Chenoweth posted the pic, commenting, "Thank you fireman Ron and chief for saving the show tonight from our fire alarm!!#ottc."

The official description of ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY is as follows: "It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train travelling from Chicago to New York City. Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee (Golden Globe® winner Peter Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Emmy® and Tony Award® winner Kristin 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? On the Twentieth Century is the hilarious Tony-winning musical comedy from the creators of Sweet Charity (composer Cy Coleman), Singin' in the Rain (lyricist-librettists Betty Comden and Adolph Green), After Midnight (Tony-winning choreographer Warren Carlyle) and You Can't Take It With You, Elephant Man (Tony-nominated director Scott Ellis), back in the spotlight nearly 40 years after making its Broadway debut. Grab your ticket and hop onboard this fun-filled musical journey to The Great White Way!"
