FORT LAUDERDALE – Emmy and Tony award–winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth will appear in concert with a 12-piece ensemble in the Au-Rene Theater on Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 8 p.m. She will take center stage performing Broadway show tunes, pop standards and music from her 2014 album, Coming Home.
Chenoweth 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 her most recent appearance on Broadway in On the Twentieth Century, she won Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards and earned nominations for Tony and Drama League Awards. Other Broadway credits include the revival of Promises, Promises, Steel Pier and Epic Proportions.
In July 2015, Chenoweth was seen in the Disney Channel’s live-action original movie Descendants, where she played the classic Sleeping Beauty villain Maleficent. Disney’s Descendants became the #5 cable TV movie in history garnering 12.2 million viewers for its premiere and its hit soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and peaked at #1 on the iTunes album chart. Honors for her television performances include an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the ABC series Pushing Daisies and nominations for two Emmy Awards and a People’s Choice Award for her role as the quirky ex-songstress April Rhodes in Glee.
The third theater star ever to present a solo concert at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, Chenoweth has a phenomenal concert career that includes performing to sold-out crowds in two solo concerts at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Her performance of Kristin Chenoweth: The Dames of Broadway… All of ‘Em!!! at Lincoln Center also aired on PBS as did Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home, in which she performed a career-spanning concert in her hometown of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
