Due to illness, Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, who is headed back to Broadway later this season in a revival of Promises, Promises, has canceled her Nov. 13-15 concert appearances with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

Megan Hilty and Julia Murney, who have performed the roles of Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, in the Broadway musical Wicked, will step in for Chenoweth in the weekend of concerts, which are titled Wicked Divas.

Steven Reineke will lead the Pops orchestra. The three concerts will feature tunes from the Great White Way, including several from Wicked.

"Due to the headlining artist change, exchanges will be offered through the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestra Box Office at Music Hall with no fee," according to the Cincinnati Pops website.

Tickets start at $20.
