What a year. A list of all the bad-crazy things that happened in 2016 would be longer than the Hamilton cancellation line, so we'll skip that and get right to the dulcet tones of the luminous Kristin Chenoweth, who reminds us all to smile in this video from SiriusXM, no matter what happens in these last hours of 2016, or in 2017.

Chenoweth may be a Broadway star, but she's terrified of performing live for NBC's HAIRSPRAY, especially her baton twirling solo which she does in the middle of the show.

On Wednesday night, Kristin Chenoweth opened her limited run show, MY LOVE LETTER TO BROADWAY, to a packed house at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. She graced the audience with two very generous acts of some of the greatest songs from The Great White Way and some standards from her new album, THE ART OF ELEGANCE.

Kristin just previewed her show and BroadwayWorld was on hand for the special day and we're taking you inside the rehearsal below!

On last night's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE on Bravo, a caller asked guest Kristin Chenoweth which actresses she would cast as Glinda and Elphaba in the upcoming WICKED movie.

On last night's LATE LATE SHOW, when Kristin Chenoweth expressed her disappointment in James giving fellow guests Beth Behrs and Julie Chen compliments, he wins her over with a duet. Later, Chenoweth performs her rendition of 'Smile.'

Below, the Broadway favorite chats with Richard Ridge about how her entire career has led to this moment!

Barbra Streisand played the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night, beginning her BARBRA: THE MUSIC...THE MEM'RIES...THE MAGIC! tour. The only recording artist to achieve #1 albums in each of six decades, Streisand began the first half of her show playing one of her hits from each of the six decades. 

Get ready Broadway. A new superstar has arrived from Puerto Rico, and he isn't conga-ing back anytime soon! 

Norm Lewis finished his Feinstein's/54Below 5 night run last night, on Christmas Eve. Norm's show, NORM LEWIS WISHES YOU A SWINGIN' CHRISTMAS, played to packed houses and the venue had an amazing week, with Michael Feinstein also making his debut at the newly namesaked club, doing the 7:00 P.M. shows and Norm conquering the 9:30 slot. By the way, Mr. Feinstein plays through the 30th, while Norm enjoys his Christmas Holiday and then can find him at the Smith Center in Las Vegas, on New Year's Eve with friends Patina Miller, Capathia Jenkins, Eric Bergen and Clint Holmes.
