Actress-singer Kristin Chenoweth will receive the 2,555th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, honoring a career that has brought her both a Tony and an Emmy.

Television legend Carol Burnett and Kenny Ortega, the director of the “High School Musical” trilogy, will join Chenoweth in speaking in the 11:30 a.m. ceremony next to the Pantages Theatre.

The ceremony comes one week before the premiere of the Disney Channel made-for-television musical “Descendants,” in which Chenoweth portrays “Sleeping Beauty” villain Maleficent. “Descendants” was directed by Ortega.

Chenoweth is receiving the star in the live theatre/performance category. She won the 1999 Tony for best featured actress in a musical for her portrayal of Sally in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Chenoweth also received Tony nominations in 2004 for best actress in a musical for her role as Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” and this year for best performance by an actress in a leading role for a musical for her portrayal of glamorous film star Lily Garland in “On the Twentieth Century.”

Chenoweth won the outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series Emmy for her role as waitress Olive Snook on “Pushing Daisies” in 2009, which had also brought her a nomination in 2008.

Chenoweth also received outstanding guest actress in a comedy Emmy nominations in 2010 and 2011 for her recurring role as quirky ex-glee club member April Rhodes on “Glee.”
