The New York Post reports that Mullally, who recently hosted her own TV chat show, will play the role of Elizabeth, created in the 1974 film by the late Madeline Kahn. Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth, back on Broadway this season in The Apple Tree, had performed the role in the musical's workshop, but will be unable to play the part on Broadway because she recently landed a TV pilot.
