Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes to Depart Promises, Promises Together in December

Promises, Promises star Kristin Chenoweth will extend her run as Fran Kubelik through December 26, when she and co-star Sean Hayes, who plays Chuck Baxter, will give their final performances in the hit musical revival. Chenoweth was originally set to leave the show on September 26; Hayes had not announced a departure date.

Chenoweth will also reprise her role of April Rhodes on TV's Glee, for which she recently received an Emmy nomination, when the show's second season begins this fall.
