Many remember Kristin Chenoweth's show-stealing, Tony-winning performance in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. She originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, which earned her a leading actress Tony Award nomination. Chenoweth also starred in the critically successful and highly lauded limited-engagement of The Apple Tree at Roundabout Theatre Company's Studio 54 to which she received glowing reviews. The New York Times called her "Astounding...No performer in musicals today has her range. She may be the best argument for cloning the theater has to offer."

A veteran of the concert scene as well, Kristin took the stage in a solo sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in 2004 and continues to tour the country. She performed her solo concert at Sam Mendes's acclaimed Donmar Warehouse as part of the Divas at Donmar series. Following her show in London, Chenoweth has had numerous collaborations with various symphonies, including The New York Philharmonic, Boston Pops, National Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony. One of her proudest accomplishments was having the privilege to perform Bernstein's Candide at Lincoln Center with The New York Philharmonic. Other performances include her sold-out Los Angeles solo debut at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, an evening at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, and the Washington National Opera's 50th Anniversary Gala with Placido Domingo.

Kristin Chenoweth effortlessly transitions between stage, television and film with the captivating grace that only she can project. She can currently be seen starring in the ABC series Pushing Daisies, where she was recently nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. This year she has also landed roles in several films including Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. The film earned $46.1 million opening weekend and took the #1 spot at the box office. Kristin's Christmas album, A Lovely Way to Spend Christmas, was just released this past October. In addition to her Christmas album, she has released two previous albums entitled, Let Yourself Go and As I Am.
