Kristin Chenoweth Rejects Idina Menzel Feud Rumors, Says She’s Not in 'Wicked' Sequel

The comments come in a Hollywood Reporter interview timed to her Broadway return in The Queen of Versailles.

Overview

  • Chenoweth described her bond with Menzel as sister-like and said they would “die for each other,” refuting years of speculation about discord.
  • She attributed the long-running chatter to the pair’s very different creative processes during the original Wicked run.
  • Asked about the upcoming film Wicked: For Good, she said, “no, I’m not,” indicating she will not appear in the sequel.
  • She recalled Wicked’s lukewarm early reviews and said audience response convinced her the show would endure despite the notices.
  • The interview coincides with her turn in The Queen of Versailles on Broadway, reuniting her with composer Stephen Schwartz ahead of a Nov. 9 opening.
