From December 2006 to March 2007, Chenoweth starred on Broadway as Eve in a revival of "The Apple Tree" with co-stars Brian d'Arcy James and former fiancé Marc Kudisch. She received nominations for the Drama Desk Award and the Drama League Award. She hosted that year's Drama Desk Awards ceremony. She appeared in the Encores! semi-staged production of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's "Music in the Air" in 2009. Chenoweth was scheduled to return to The Metropolitan Opera in 2010 to play Samira in John Corigliano's opera "The Ghosts of Versailles". The Met canceled the expensive production in 2008 as the U.S. economy weakened.
