KRISTIN CHENOWETH
Broadway @ the Art House and Mark Cortale proudly present Emmy & Tony Award Winning Actress and Singer KRISTIN CHENOWETH for 2 shows only at Provincetown's TOWN HALL directed by RICHARD JAY-ALEXANDER and Music Direction by Mary-Mitchell Campbell.
Kristin Chenoweth, takes the lead in a career that spans film, television, voiceover, 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 (Pushing Daisies was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award and Emmy Award for "Best Television Series Musical or Comedy"). More recently, Chenoweth lit up the stage of McKinley High as a former student who returned to town with more than the baggage from her flight, 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 livingrooms 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.
Chenoweth recently wrapped production on the upcoming Universal film, The Boy Next Door, with Jennifer Lopez, and is currently in production on several other film projects, including: A Bet's A Bet with Mena Suvari and Eric Roberts, and the indie teen drama, Hard Sell. This spring, Kristin once again reinvents herself, this time as a poisonous frog named Gaby, in Blue Sky Studio's, Rio 2. She will also be featured in a guest arc on the TV Land series, "Kirstie," and recently returned for the 100th episode of "Glee."
In addition to her much-anticipated appearances on both the small and big screens, Kristin sold out Carnegie Hall for the third time on May 3rd in her show The Evolution of a Soprano; musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell, directed by Richard Jay-Alexander. She performed songs from her latest album, Some Lessons Learned, as well as some of her most memorable songs from Broadway's Wicked, Promises Promises, and her peformances on Glee. Also this July, Kristin will travel across the pond for her much-aniticpated solo performance at the celebrated Royal Albert Hall in London.
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.

In addition to her starring roles on stage and screen, in 2009, Kristin also wrote an upliftingly candid, comedic chronicle of her life so far, in, A Little Bit Wicked, which was released by Simon & Schuster, and debuted at # 12 on the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction Best Seller List.
It's no secret that Kristin wears her heart on her sleeve when it comes to her love of theater, which was also the catalyst for her charity partnership with the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center (BA PAC) Foundation in her home town (in Oklahoma). The Kristin Chenoweth Theater at the BA PAC, renamed in 2012 to celebrate its biggest advocate, supporter, and celebrated role model to aspiring hometown performers, welcomes internationally acclaimed concert artists and Broadway productions, provides educational outreach and master classes with touring artists, after-school and summer arts institutes, scholarship programs, community enrichment and opportunities for students to travel and perform on a national level.
Kristin is also a passionate supporter of charities which dedicate their time and efforts to helping those in need, such as: The Red Cross, Broadway Cares EFA, The Point Foundation, ASTEP, breast cancer awareness, adoption advocacy and organizations supporting animal welfare.
Kristin earned a Bachelor's degree in Musical Theater and a Master's degree in Opera Performance from Oklahoma City University. She was also presented with Honorary Doctorate degrees from both University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and her alma mater, Oklahoma City University.
