After Kristin Chenoweth’s two-season stint with the now defunct ABC drama “Pushing Daisies” and her Emmy-nominated recurring appearance in “Glee” as frustrated theater actress “April Rhodes” who then became an alcoholic, “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy is planning to write a new series for the Tony Award winning actress.

In a brief statement given by Murphy to entertainment website Zap2It, he said that someone so talented such as Chenoweth deserves her own show. “…I’m writing a half hour musical comedy specifically for Kristin because if you can sing like that, I want her to be the star of her own show where she sings… Kristin is so funny. I want it to be adult”, Murphy added. And despite the show’s musical-laden theme, it will not be a spin-off of “Glee”.

Chenoweth, one of Broadway’s biggest exports to the TV and film industry, is best remembered on stage as the original Glinda in the highly regarded musical “Wicked” which earned her a Tony Award nomination. She had previously bagged the same honor for her work in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” five years earlier.

Her NBC show “Kristin”, marked her first major project as she made the transition from theater to the small screen, but she is best remembered by boob tube fans for her role in the critically acclaimed political drama “The West Wing” and her Emmy-winning performance in “Pushing Daisies”, which was canceled only after two seasons despite rave reviews. The new David E. Kelley drama “Legally Mad” will feature Chenoweth as one of the lead characters. Its airing date is yet to be announced though.

At present, Chenoweth is back on Broadway alongside “Will & Grace” star Sean Hayes for the musical “Promises, Promises”. No word yet if the Broadway actress will be reprising her role as “April Rhodes” on the season 2 of “Glee”, nor any more details on Ryan Murphy’s show plans for Chenoweth other than the ones he disclosed with Zap2It.
