HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK: Chenoweth takes over LA, Shakespeare is back on Broadway, VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA ANS SPIKE takes a final bow, and so much more!

Broadway, Film and TV phenomenon Kristin Chenoweth's first solo concerts at the Hollywood Bowl was, as expected, nothing short of spectacular. Delivering a highly-entertaining, must-see event filled with plenty of laughs, many touching moments, and lots of opportunities to showcase her unique talents, the pixie-sized Emmy and Tony Award-winning musical superstar did not disappoint in her two-night engagement backed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

BroadwayWorld.com was thrilled to have exclusive backstage coverage before, during and after Kristin Chenoweth's two-nights at the Hollywood Bowl on August 23-24, 2013. Here are some photos from the pre and post-show excitement, and look for BroadwayWorld.com's exclusive video coverage very soon.

A meteor hit the stage at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend for two consecutive performances. Accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the evening's program also boasted conductor Kevin Stites and a cast featuring Jennifer Diamond, Constantine Germanacos and Johnny Stellard.

Emmy-and Tony-winning actress and recording artist Kristin Chenoweth returns to the Hollywood Bowl, Friday, August 23, at 8pm and Saturday, August 24, at 8pm, to perform her first solo show at the legendary venue, featuring the Los Angeles Philharmonic, led by Kevin Stites, for a family enjoyable evening of music, fun material and more.

Just back in town from Kristin Chenoweth's sold out, uber-successful, first ever Australian concert tour, we asked Kristin and her cast to send us snapshots and memories from their trip.

On Friday evening, May 24, Playbill's Blake Ross and BroadwayWorld.com's Rob and Jennifer Diamond co-hosted the only birthday party that took two editors of two major theatre web sites to plan ... Director/Producer Richard Jay-Alexander's 60th Birthday Bash! The party, held on the third floor of theatre district hot spot Angus McIndoe's restaurant, played host to friends, family, colleagues and more, so we couldn't resist sharing some of Linda Lenzi's wonderful pictures with you. Happy 60th Birthday!

Below, we bring you some un-aired clips from the concert, which include: 'Edelweiss' from The Sound of Music, 'Dance 10; Looks 3' from A Chorus Line, and the full version of 'Somebody, Somehwere' from Most Happy Fella.
