Review: Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming at Wolf Trap

Every once in a while, you see the billing for a concert and think to yourself “That’s an interesting combination”. This was my exact thought at Wolf Trap with Broadway superstars Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming on the same bill. Don’t get me wrong, their talent is not to be questioned.

Based on that, the evening felt like two different concerts with me and my wife enjoying one half of the program more than the other.
