Going with yesterday’s review of Wicked I thought I’d focus this week’s Twitter Tuesday on one of the actresses who made the show such a success. So, this week our focus will be on Kristin Chenoweth!
Kristin was the original Glinda the Good for Wicked when it was on Broadway. Before that she won a Tony Award as Sally Brown in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. She’s also done some television, having won an Emmy Award for her role as Olive Snook on the show Pushing Daisies, and also playing a role on West Wing and most recently the reoccurring April Rhodes on Glee. Obviously to have won a Tony OR an Emmy would be great, but Kristin has proven her talent by winning both.
If that’s not enough, and really it should be but you know… just in case, Kristin has also done voice work for the new Tinkerbell movies and Robot Chicken, made a few Funny or Die videos, written her own memoir, starred in the made for TV movie The Music Man with Matthew Broderick, has appeared three different times as a part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, been a guest judge for American Idol, toured with international pop sensation Il Divo, and done a few small movies like Bewitched, Stranger Than Fiction, and Four Christmases.
Oh, and then there’s her music! Three of her own albums with a fourth slated for later this year. If you’ve heard the soundtrack to Wicked or seen her episodes on Glee then you know she’s got talent, but if you don’t let me point out that she’s classically trained with a range of four octaves. That’s a lot of octaves. It’s actually a shame that Twitter is a text program, cause if they could let you share singing I think most everyone would have put Kristin on their follow list by now.
Even without a vocal system on Twitter I highly recommend following Kristin because, lets face it, the woman is a star in every sense of the word! Stage, film, musical, written word, national tours, and on and on. The bottom line: she’s Popular.
