This is the pop-Broadway-country diva collaboration to rule them all. And no, we're not talking about a new "Lady Marmalade" remix, although that would still be a good idea. Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth has announced a new album paying tribute to all of the legendary women singers that have paved the way, and she's roped in a few powerhouses (who are pretty legendary themselves) to help out. Joining Chenoweth on the album will be fellow Broadway alums Ariana Grande, who appeared on Broadway in 13 the musical, Color Purple star Jennifer Hudson and country icons Dolly Parton (Tony-nominated 9 to 5 composer) and Reba McEntire (Annie Get Your Gun).
Chenoweth's seventh album, titled For the Girls, will cover classic songs by Barbra Streisand, Dinah Washington, Patsy Kline, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Linda Rondstat and Carole King. Check out the full song list below to see who's singing what, and look for the album when it drops on September 27.
