The Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts presents Kristin Chenoweth in Concert - For the Girls
Emmy and Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth is back by popular demand for an evening of good humor, personal reminiscences and all-time song favorites, featuring those famously dazzling high notes.
Her remarkable career spans film, television, voiceover and stage. Kristin has performed to sold-out audiences across the world, including performances at Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. In 2014, she released a CD and DVD of her own live concert performance, Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home. She released The Art of Elegance, her first album of American Songbook classics via Concord Records. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Current Jazz and Traditional Jazz charts, and #1 on Amazon’s Vocal Pop chart. Chenoweth also returned to the stage in her limited engagement My Love Letter to Broadway, at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, receiving rave reviews.
Her latest album For The Girls just released on September 27. The album is a heartfelt tribute to the great female singers throughout history, particularly some of Kristin’s heroes and friends. Guest artists include Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, Jennifer Hudson and Reba McEntire. The album includes Chenoweth’s personally charged interpretations of classic songs identified with such iconic artists as Barbra Streisand, Lesley Gore, Linda Ronstadt, Dinah Washington, Dolly Parton and more. To celebrate the release of her new album For The Girls, Chenoweth returned to the Broadway stage this past November for an eight-performance concert engagement.
