She's back, bitches! Kristin Chenoweth will be welcoming ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK star and stage vet Lea DeLaria to her show on the Great White Way, MY LOVE LETTER TO BROADWAY, this Sunday, November 6.

DeLaria shared the good news via Twitter today:

No word on what DeLaria will be performing, but we can't wait to find out what the pair have cooked up!

On Wednesday night, Chenoweth opened her limited run show, MY LOVE LETTER TO BROADWAY, to a packed house at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. She graced the audience with two very generous acts of some of the greatest songs from The Great White Way and some standards from her new album, THE ART OF ELEGANCE.

The diminutive star knocked it out of the ballpark, receiving five standing ovations during the night. In the audience, among such luminaries as Rosie O'Donnell, designer Christian Siriano, Michael Feinstein, actress Jenna Ushkowitz, Producer James L. Nederlander and writer Robert Harling, were her parents Jerry and Junie Chenoweth, from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Our question is, "How ya gonna keep 'em down on The Farm, after they've seen Paris?"

MY LOVE LETTER TO BROADWAY is directed by Richard Jay-Alexander, with music direction by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, costume design by Christian Sirianoand Presented by James L. Nederlander. The limited engagement began November 2, 2016 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and will run through November 13, 2016.

DeLaria last appeared on Broadway in THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW and ON THE TOWN; the latter earned her a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk nomination in 1998. She has also taken the stage in CHICAGO on tour and HAIR in concert, and has served as a repeat host for the OBIE Awards in NYC.
