Kristen Chenoweth


Not a cat, but an amazing actress non the less. I'm sorry, I couldn't help but dedicate a page to her, and if you don't like it...well... too bad ^.^ It's my website.

Theater

You probably know Kristen best as G(a)linda from Wicked. In October 2003 she returned to Broadway with Wicked. She was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance. After playing Glinda for nine months (not including the years leading up to the Broadway run where she played the role in all of the show's workshops), Chenoweth left Wicked on 18 July 2004.

But that wasn't her beginning in Broadway. No, she made her Broadway debut in a production of Molier's Scapin starring Bill Irwin, followed in the spring of 1997 by the musical Steel Pier, for which she won a Theater World Award.

During the 1998–1999 season, she performed in the Broadway revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (One of my favorite musicals) as Sally - Charlie's little sister - a character that was not present in the original production. The production won Chenoweth the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics  Circle Awards as the season's Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She then starred in the Broadway comedy Epic Proportions  followed by appearances in ABC's television adaptation of the musical Annie (as Lily St. Regis), and in the leading role of Daisy Gamble in the City Center Encores! production of On A Clear Day You Can See Forever.


Film

Chenoweth appeared in the 2005 film version of Bewitched. The film's star, Nicole Kidman, had attended a performance of Wicked and was so impressed with Chenoweth's charisma and stage presence that Kidman asked Ephron to cast Chenoweth in the film. Chenoweth got the part of Maria Kelly, Kidman's character's best friend. In 2006, she appeared in five films including The Pink Panther, RV, Stranger Then Fiction, Running With Scissors and Desk The Halls. Chenoweth also appeared as Mr. Noodle's Sister Ms. Noodle in Sesame Street's Elmo's World television series.

Chenoweth appeared in the 2008 holiday romantic comedy film Four Christmases, playing the sister of Reese Witherspoon's  character.
