Spend an evening with an icon. Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth brings her powerhouse voice and emotionally-charged interpretations to a series of legendary songs, popular standards, and classic hits. "For the Girls" is a tribute to music’s great female performers who have influenced the accomplished star of stage and screen.

Emmy and Tony Award winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth’s career spans film, television, voiceover and stage. In 2015, Chenoweth received a coveted star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2009, she received an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “Pushing Daisies.” In 1999, she won a Tony Award for “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” and she was also nominated for her original role of Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” in 2004. Chenoweth has been nominated for two Emmy Awards and for a People’s Choice Award for her role on “Glee.” In 2009, she wrote an upliftingly candid, comedic chronicle of her life so far, “A Little Bit Wicked,” which debuted on the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction Best Seller List.

Chenoweth’s latest album, "For the Girls", debuted at number three on the Current Pop Albums chart and number 11 on the Billboard Top Albums chart. With guest artists including Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, Jennifer Hudson, and Reba McEntire, the album features 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.

Chenoweth has performed to sold-out audiences across the world, including performances at Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. Chenoweth released The Art of Elegance, her album of American Songbook classics that debuted at number one on Billboard’s Current Jazz and Traditional Jazz charts and number one 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.

Notable television roles include appearances in The West Wing, Disney’s Descendants, and The Muppets.
