Emmy and Tony Award winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth’s career spans film, television, voice over, and stage, effortlessly. She received an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on the ABC series Pushing Daisies, and lit up the stage of McKinley High as a former student who returned to town on Fox’s hit comedy, Glee. In her role as Glee’s quirky ex-songstress, April Rhodes, she was nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People’s Choice Award in the category of “Favorite TV Guest Star.” Though Kristin has often come into our living rooms on hit shows such as The West Wing (where she starred as Annabeth Schott) and as a guest judge on both American Idol and Project Runway, she may be most remembered by Broadway lovers everywhere for her origination of the role of Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, which earned her a Tony Award Nomination. In addition, her Tony-winning performance in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, stole the show, and many hearts, in the process. She appeared in the Universal film, The Boy Next Door, with Jennifer Lopez, and many other film projects, including: A Bet’s A Bet with Mena Suvari and Eric Roberts, and the indie teen drama, Hard Sell.  Kristin also reinvented herself as a poisonous frog named Gaby, in Blue Sky Studio’s, Rio 2.  She was featured in a guest arc on the TV Land series, Kirstie, and made a special return for the 100th episode of Glee. A veteran of the concert stage, Kristin has performed to sold-out crowds in concert halls across the country.  In 2013, she made her Australian national touring debut, headlining the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and performing at the famed Sydney Opera House. She made national headlines with her stunning renditions of Hollywood’s most beloved songs from classic films, when she performed to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  In 2013, Kristin also performed to a sold-out audience at The Allen Room in New York’s acclaimed Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, with her show – Kristin Chenoweth: The Dames of Broadway… All of ‘Em!!!, directed by Richard Jay Alexander, which also aired on PBS.
