Emmy and Tony Award winner, Kristin Chenoweth effortlessly transitions between stage, television and film with the captivating grace that few have been able to achieve. Chenoweth gained quick recognition by television audiences for her charismatic and compelling performances on The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) and the quirky hit Pushing Daisies (ABC, 2007-09).

She first wowed the theater world with her 1999 Tony-winning performance in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley called Chenoweth's performance "one of those break-out performances that send careers skyward." But it was her scene-stealing run in the musical hit Wicked that began her rise to fame.She has also be given the honor of hosting the televised Tony awards.

Leaving no entertainment medium untapped, the blonde, bubbly Chenoweth released several albums, in addition to her recordings on cast albums and vocal appearances with the Metropolitan and Washington National operas.

By the time she put her song-and-dance talents to good use on the hit television musical drama, Glee (Fox, 2009-), Chenoweth had established herself as a multifaceted performer worthy of public admiration. She has also appeared as a guest judge on American Idol.

She is a veteran of the concert scene, and her solo performances have sold-out around the world including Carnegie Hall.
