Kristin Chenoweth, star of Glee and Wicked has announced her return to the Great White Way… in what she is calling My Love Letter To Broadway. Her fans have gone into over-drive on social media at the announcement.
The Tony- and Emmy-winner will star in “My Love Letter to Broadway” from Nov. 2-13 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Mary-Mitchell Campbell is Musical Director and costume designs are to be by Christian Siriano.
She says she’s been planning the show for ages — “actually it’s my whole life, if I’m being honest,” she said — and the title came easily. “Then there are no rules. I can sing pretty much anything because my favorite thing is Broadway. I have been raised on music by Rodgers and Hart, and Bernstein, Porter and Gershwin, but there’s also now ‘Hamilton’ and ‘Wicked.'”
Kristin Chenoweth is excited about all the material she plans to perform but would not be drawn on the final song list. She does concede that Popular, which she made famous in Wicked, on Broadway, will be included. “I’ve discovered if I don’t sing ‘Popular’ I could be shot. So I’m pretty sure that will show up.”
“Every night will be different,” she said. “You will come to see the show on one night — on a Tuesday — and on Saturday it will be different. And that will be the most fun part as an artist for me. No audience will see the same show.”
Chenoweth, whose TV credits include “The West Wing,” ”The Good Wife” and “Pushing Daisies,” was last on Broadway in the 2015 revival of “On the Twentieth Century,” for which she got a Tony nomination. Her film credits include “Bewitched,” ”The Pink Panther” and “RV.”
Kristin Chenoweth is also releasing her newest recording entitled The Art of Elegance later this month to coincide with the news of her upcoming concerts. It is a thriteen track album featuring songs like: Skylark, Bewithced, Bothered and Bewildered and A House Is Not A Home.
