Hope you’re ready for a whole lot of Kristen Chenoweth in the next few weeks because she’s been keeping mighty busy! Not only does she have Holidate hitting Netflix on October 28th and a new Food Network show, Candy Land, kicking off in November, but Chenoweth is also in HBO Max’s new rendition of the Road Dahl book, The Witches.

The movie puts the spotlight on a young boy played by Jahzir Bruno who goes to live with his grandmother (Octavia Spencer) after the passing of his parents. While spending some time at a fancy hotel, they run into the Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway) who’s cooking up a scheme to turn children into mice. Chenoweth’s character, Daisy, is one of those mice.

One thing fans of the 1990 movie might notice is that this adaptation’s ending stays true to the source material. Whereas Luke is transformed back into a boy in Nicolas Roeg’s movie, in this new film, the kids remain mice and that means they have limited lifespans. What was Chenoweth’s reaction to finding out this movie would run with that darker ending? Hear all about that, Chenoweth's experience working with director Robert Zemeckis, how she feels about the Wicked movie, and more!
