BroadwayWorld TV is proud to present exclusive footage of Kristin Chenoweth's dazzling concert at the Hollywood Bowl. We were allowed to film on Saturday night, August 24, 2013 and union rules allow 'limited usage' of footage so it was particularly tough to edit from this brilliant evening. Note to Kristin - 'we did our best!'
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!
