Kristin Chenoweth, the diminutive (4-foot-11!) powerhouse star of Broadway musicals and TV comedies, will be in Memphis this month to sign copies of her new book, "I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts."

Here's what you need to know about the event.

'I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts'

Kristin Chenoweth's new book is "philosophical-ish."

Something of a follow-up to her similarly Oxford comma'ed 2009 memoir, "A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages" (Chenoweth also has written a picture book for children, "What Will I Do with My Love Today?"), "I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts: Mini-Meditations for Saints, Sinners, and the Rest of Us" features "philosophical-ish musings on connection, creativity, loss, love, faith, and closure," according to publicity material from publishing company HarperCollins, which adds: "Aristotle. Socrates. Descartes. And now, Chenoweth."

Publicists also offered this "warning": "There will be Bible verses. There will be f-bombs. Read responsibly."

The 224-page book has a list price of $22.99.

What to know before you go

Because the event is expected to draw a large crowd of fans of the Tony- and Emmy-award-winning singer and actress, certain rules apply. A "line ticket" divided by groups A, B and C will be given to every person who purchases a copy of the book, and book-owners will be asked to line up alphabetically by group. No posed photos with Chenoweth will be allowed, but photos can be taken from the line.
