Emmy and Tony Award winning actress and singer, 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.") 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 living rooms on hit shows such as The West Wing (where she starred as Annabeth Schott), 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, and her Tony-winning performance in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, for which she stole the show and many hearts in the process. Kristin will be receiving a coveted star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of live performances on stage or in theatre.

Chenoweth is currently appearing on Broadway, playing the glamorous film star, Lily Garland, in the Roundabout Theatre Company's On the Twentieth Century, which has received rave reviews. As of April, Kristin's performance has earned her nominations for the following awards: Tony Award in the category "Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical", Drama Desk Award, Drama League Award and Outer Critics Choice Award. Earlier this year, she co-starred in the Universal film The Boy Next Door, alongside Jennifer Lopez. She was also seen in the film A Bet's A Bet (International title: The Opposite Sex.) She's completed production on the indie teen drama entitled Hard Sell and will be seen this summer in the Disney Channel's live-action original movie Descendants, in which she will play the classic Sleeping Beauty villain Maleficent.

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.
