Kristin Chenoweth will lend a touch of Broadway to baseball by singing "God Bless America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Los Angeles Dodgers' Opening Day Celebration on April 3rd.

The event will take place at Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers will play the Atlanta Braves. Hootie and the Blowfish will also perform at the game, which will feature a video tribute to Tommy Lasorda as well as a B2 Stealth Bomber flyover.

Chenoweth has fast become a crossover Broadway star, with numerous films set to open this year. The star, who was nominated for a Tony for her performance as Glinda in Wicked and who won for her Sally Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, has also appeared in Scapin, A New Brain, Steel Pier, Epic Proportions, in the Lincoln Center concert production of Candide, and the Encores! productions of Strike Up the Band, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and The Apple Tree (rumor has attached her to a possible Broadway transfer of the latter). As I Am and Let Yourself Go are her two solo CDs; the latter is a collection of theatre music while the former focuses on spiritual songs. Her upcoming films include R.V., Running With Scissors, Stranger Than Fiction and Asphalt Beach; she was also seen in Bewitched and The Pink Panther. Chenoweth plays Annabeth Schott on TV's "The West Wing."
