Chenoweth’s role in Our Little Secret cleverly represents her masterful comedy skills that have solidified her as a legendary actress. Her role in Our Little Secret also happened in the same month as her special cameo appearance in Wicked, the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical. Chenoweth appears in Wicked as part of the Emerald City Players, performing “One Short Day.” She guest stars alongside her fellow Broadway co-star, Idina Menzel, who originated the role of Elphaba in the Broadway musical, opposite Chenoweth as Glinda.

Our Little Secret stars Lindsay Lohan, Ian Harding, and Kristin Chenoweth discuss crafting an awkward-but-loving dynamic and surprising story beats.
This is how Chenoweth’s role in Our Little Secret solidifies her overall incredible career, coming at a time when she is being celebrated again for originating the role of Glinda in the Wicked Broadway musical, after the critical success of the movie adaptation. Chenoweth’s cameo is also complimentary as it shows her playing a “good” attention-seeking singer, as opposed to the snarky and cold Erica in Our Little Secret. Whether intentional or not, the Netflix movie was timed perfectly to arrive after Wicked, which pays a loving tribute to Chenoweth’s iconic Broadway role.
