Best Answer

Because of a very busy schedule as an actress who dances, sings and writes, Kristin Chenoweth [b. July 24, 1968] quit on July 18, 2004, after nine months in the role as Glinda the Good Witch of 'Wicked'. There were many competing demands upon the singer's time. For example, she also acted the part of Cunegunde in director Lonny Price's revival of the operetta 'Candide' by Leonard Bernstein [August 25, 1918-October 14, 1990]. Rehearsals and the performances of 'Candide' on May 5-8, 2004 overlapped with the demands of the musical version of 'Wicked' on Broadway. In that same year, she also had to fit in the preparation for, and the first of, 34 appearances as media consultant Annabeth Schott in 'West Wing'.
