Chenoweth, who previously starred as Olive Snook on the canceled ABC series "Pushing Daisies," and is rumored to have netted the role of Galinda in the big screen adaptation of "Wicked," (she previously starred in the Broadway version of the musical), will sit in at the Orlando auditions this week.

Chenoweth follows "How I Met Your Mother's" Neil Patrick Harris, who joined Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi in Texas earlier this week.
