Back in 1998, a young Anna Kendrick performed in a concert event at Carnegie Hall. The INTO THE WOODS star, then an early teen, participated in the event with Rosie O'Donnell and Liza Minnelli, among many others. Titled "My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies," the night was hosted by Julie Andrews.

Below, watch the 'Pitch Perfect' star perform "Life Upon the Wicked Stage," from the Broadway classic, "Show Boat," accompanied by the Kit-Kat Girls from the 1998 revival of "Cabaret."

Kendrick is known for her roles in such films as The Company You Keep, End of Watch, The Twilight Saga, Scott Pilgrim Saves the World, ParaNorman and 50/50. In 2010, Kendrick starred opposite George Clooney and Jason Bateman in the film Up in the Air, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

Kendrick can currently be seen as Cinderella in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. An accomplished theater veteran, Kendrick made her Broadway debut in the 1997 production of High Society, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. Kendrick's additional theater work includes A Little Night Music, My Favorite Broadway/The Leading Ladies: Live at Carnegie Hall and Broadway workshops of Jane Eyre and The Little Princess. Earlier this year, Kendrick's hit song "Cups (When I'm Gone)," from The Pitch Perfect soundtrack, climbed into to the Top 10 on Billboard's Adult Pop Song chart.
