Published 1 month ago2 minute read

Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel might just team up again.

After the duo made a fan-beloved cameo in 2024's Wicked movie, the Tony Award winner shared with PEOPLE whether she's up for reuniting with Menzel, 53, in either an original Broadway show or revival.

"I have one in mind, but I can't say," Chenoweth, 56, teased at the opening night of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends on Broadway on Tuesday, April 8.

Chenoweth and Menzel originated the roles of Glinda and Elphaba in Broadway's original run of Wicked in 2003. The inaugural production won three Tony Awards and the original cast album earned a Grammy Award.

While the 2024 onscreen adaptation of the musical offered new faces to the franchise — Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba — the OG actresses reunited for a surprise cameo written specifically for them.

Whether the Schmigadoon! star will appear in Wicked: For Good is up in the air, as Chenoweth quipped she "can't say" definitively if she'd be back.

However, it's safe to say the duo is always ready for a chance to perform together.

Chenoweth and Menzel recently performed an impromptu Wicked duet following Menzel's performance in Redwood  at the Nederlander Theatre in New York City on Thursday, April 3.

The two performed "For Good," the iconic duet from Wicked that closes out the musical, after two people in the audience bid $8,000 each to hear them sing as part of the industry's annual spring fundraising campaign, Broadway Cares.

Despite a few bumps along in the performance, with the two starting over a few times, Menzel and Chenoweth received a standing ovation from the audience.
