Rosie O’Donnell and Kristin Chenoweth have joined the cast for a reading of “The Pyramid: An Unauthorized ‘Dance Moms’ Musical.”

O’Donnell is said to be playing embattled instructor and series star Abby Lee Miller while Tony winner Chenoweth will take on the role of Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, a fellow instructor who quit the reality show after the first season.

The reading takes place Monday afternoon in New York City. O’Donnell teased the reading in a recent TikTok video, saying that she and Chenoweth were signed on for a reading of a new musical without naming the show.
