Kristin Chenoweth signs on for Disney+ comedy The Biggest Star in Appleton

Deadline

The streaming service is developing the half-hour single-camera comedy that stars Chenoweth as Carol Dannhauser, "a Wisconsin mom, wife and waitress who, while devoted to her family, finds her deepest satisfaction in small town stardom at the local community theater," according to Deadline. "Her status is threatened when Tara Hubley, a struggling New York chorus girl, moves back home with dreams of her own." The Biggest Star in Appleton, created by Paul Rudnick, reunites Chenoweth with producer Dan Jinks, who was also behind ABC's Pushing Daisies.
