Kristin Chenoweth Surprised By Fans Fervent Reaction to WICKED Reunion: 'It Was Really Cool'

In a new interview with ET to promote her upcoming drama HARD SELL (in theaters and on demand on May 20th), Broadway's Kristin Chenoweth discussed her recent reunion with WICKED co-star Idina Menzel. The two Tony Award winners came together for the first time in 12 years to perform the heartfelt number "For Good," in honor of the show's producer David Stone's Second Stage Theatre Gala in April. Both stars were unable to attend the event in person due to scheduling conflicts.

"It was really cool," says Chenoweth of the recent performance. "It was like a lot of time had passed or no time has passed." She goes on to reveal that she was not expecting the fervent reaction that resulted. "I don't know why I was surprised," she says, "but I thought, 'Oh, it's not that big of a deal.' It was cool to see people still love it."
