It's been a busy week for Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth. First, she hosted the Banff World Media Festival's Rockie Awards, where she ingeniously sang 'Bring Him Home' accompanied by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC. Then she hosted the Kristin Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp in her hometown of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a cause for good, she couldn't be prouder of. 'If I can be of any inspiration at all to the younger generation and after that and after that and after that, then I feel like I am doing what I'm supposed to do,' she adds. 'And it blesses me, as much as I hope they are blessed.' Chenoweth is preparing for two upcoming concerts in Boone and Asheville and says audiences in Western Carolina can expect to hear an eclectic mix of music. 'I think people can expect a little bit of everything, which with my taste, that seems about right,' she says. 'I'm really living in the world of Don Henley lately, and of course Dolly Parton, that's my favorite, so there will be Don Henley and Dolly Parton, new stuff, not stuff I've done before.' 'I do really enjoy the concert work because I get to sing what I want to sing,' she adds. 'I enjoy taking the audience on a ride.' Chenoweth will be performing at The Schaeffer Center for the Performing Arts on August 4th and at The US Cellular Center in Asheville October 7th.
