On the Twentieth Century costars Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher will stop by the 92nd Street Y in April during their Broadway run.

The 92nd Street Y will host Back on Broadway: Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher in Conversation, an intimate evening with the costars of Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway revival of On the Twentieth Century. The pair, who begin performances at the American Airlines Theatre on February 12, will sit down on April 6 at 7:30pm to discuss their varied careers in theater, film, and television.

Chenoweth, an Emmy- and Tony-winning coloratura, returns to Broadway for the first time since her run in the 2010 revival of Promises, Promises. She earned a Tony Award in 1999 for her performance in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and was nominated again in 2004 for her starring role in Wicked. Since then, she has expanded her career to television, earning an Emmy Award for her performance on Pushing Daisies and enjoying a recurring role on the hit Fox series Glee.

Gallagher, well known for his television roles on The O.C. and Covert Affairs, made his last Broadway appearance in the 2008 revival of The Country Girl, in which he costarred with Frances McDormand and Morgan Freeman. His other Broadway credits include Noises Off, the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls, Long Day’s Journey Into Night (Tony Award nomination), The Real Thing, The Corn Is Green, and the Comden and Green musical, A Doll’s Life. He made his Broadway debut in the first revival of Hair and then joined the original Broadway production of Grease as Danny Zuko.

On the Twentieth Century, which won 1978 Tony Awards for its book and score, follows bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Gallagher) as he embarks on a madcap mission to cajole the glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, nonexistent epic drama. The revival is directed by Scott Ellis.
