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 her work on the ABC series Pushing Daisies. In her role on Fox TV's "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. In 2015, she made her return to Broadway as glamorous film star Lily Garland in the Roundabout Theatre Company's "On the Twentieth Century," which received rave reviews and earned Kristin a Tony Award nomination and the Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award.

Chenoweth can be seen in the Universal film, "The Boy Next Door," with Jennifer Lopez, and "A Bet's A Bet" with Mena Suvari and Eric Roberts, as well as the indie teen drama "Hard Sell" and as a poisonous frog named Gaby, in Blue Sky Studio's "Rio 2." She was also featured in the TV Land series, "Kirstie,"‎ and 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 in May of 2014 in her show "The Evolution of a Soprano" with musical director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and director Richard Jay-Alexander and that July 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...

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 hometown (in Oklahoma).
