One of Broadway's reigning queens, "Cheno" is known among musical theater lovers as the original G(a)linda in the hit musicalWicked. Television audiences, on the other hand, know her as Olive Snook fromPushing Daisies, Annabeth Schott fromThe West Wing and for her role as April Rhodes onGlee.

She is also known for her Cheno Notes (extremely high soprano notes sung in full head voice), for being 4 feet 11 inches, and forLes Yay-ing it up withWicked costar Idina Menzel.
