Chenoweth was adopted when she was five days old by Junie Smith Chenoweth and Jerry Morris Chenoweth, both chemical engineers[2] from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a suburb of Tulsa,[3][4][5] and named Kristi Dawn Chenoweth.[6] She has stated that she is of one quarter Cherokee ancestry[7] and that she eventually met her biological mother.[8] At an early age, she performed gospel songs for local churches. A performing highlight of her childhood was a solo appearance at the Southern Baptist Convention national conference at the age of 12, where she performed the Evie song "Four Feet Eleven". The chorus begins, "I'm only 4 feet 11, but I'm going to Heaven" (Chenoweth is 4ft 11in (150cm) in height).[9] After graduating from Broken Arrow Senior High School, where she participated in school plays, Chenoweth attended Oklahoma City University, where she was a member of Gamma Phi Beta (Beta Omicron) sorority.[10] She earned a bachelor's degree in musical theatre in 1990[11][12] and a master's degree in opera performance in 1992,[12][13] studying under voice instructor and mentor, Florence Birdwell.[11][14] While at OCU, Chenoweth competed in beauty pageants, winning the title of Miss OCU and was the second runner-up in the Miss Oklahoma pageant in 1991.[9][15] In 1992, Chenoweth participated in a studio recording of The Most Happy Fella.[16]

While there, she auditioned for the 1993 Paper Mill Playhouse production of the musical Animal Crackers and was cast in the role of Arabella Rittenhouse. She turned down the scholarship and moved to New York to play the role and pursue a career in musical theatre.[19][20]

The vocal vocabulary she deploys here ranges from jazz-baby brass to operatic silver, often in a single number, and she switches among them with jaw-dropping ease.And every perfectly weighted note is set off by an impeccably exaggerated gesture."[51] She was nominated for a Tony Award and won a Drama Desk Award for her performance.[52][53]
Television
After a guest appearance on LateLine, a role in the short-lived television series Paramour (1999), and several roles in television films such as Annie (as Lily St. Regis), Chenoweth starred in her own NBCsitcom, the semi-autobiographical Kristin in 2001.

The character is a former member of the glee club who never finished high school and ended up hitting rock bottom.[62] A review in USA Today observed, "Her presence may not make much sense, but if it means hearing Chenoweth sing, we can put up with any explanation the show cares to offer."[63][64] She received a Satellite Award for Outstanding Guest Star.[65]
In 2010, Chenoweth returned to Glee as April Rhodes, singing more songs.[66] The Los Angeles Times review commented, "the best part about 'Home' was undoubtedly the return of Kristin Chenoweth as April. From her spunky duet of Fire with Schue, to the heart-achingly lonely coo of 'One Less Bell to Answer' which segued into a fantastic reprise of 'A House Is Not a Home' and of course her bone-chilling take on Home I fell in love with her again."[67] She was nominated for both 2010 and 2011 Emmy Awards for her performances on Glee.[68][69] Chenoweth returned again to Glee in "Rumours" in 2011,[70] and for its 100th episode in 2014.[71] In 2011, Chenoweth joined the cast of a pilot for ABC called Good Christian Bitches as a character named Carlene Cockburn.[72] ABC picked up the show and changed the title to GCB.[73] The series debuted in 2012 but lasted only one season; Chenoweth generally sang a song in each episode.[74] In 2012, she guest-starred in an episode of the sitcom Hot in Cleveland, titled "The Gateway Friend".[70]

Less than four months after her July 2012 injury on the set of The Good Wife, Chenoweth returned to the concert stage for a short series of dates in California, where she performed "a sagely programmed 90-minute set, which merged pop, Broadway, gospel and country with perky, unforced-feeling remarks. Chenoweth's range, timbre and versatility are in peak form, with astonishing top notes, equalized registers and a delicious ability to variegate attack from number to number."[76] In 2013, Chenoweth performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of an Australian concert tour.[131] In 2014, Chenoweth returned to Carnegie Hall with an autobiographical concert, The Evolution of a Soprano, where she sang "as good a rendition of 'Much More' as we're ever likely to hear".[22] She also made her London solo concert debut at the Royal Albert Hall, where a reviewer's five-star review noted: "Chenoweth undeniably knows how to engulf a venue, not only with her (sometimes surprisingly) powerful, operatic voice but also with her irresistible personality that audience was in the palm of her hands for the duration of the evening".[132] She joined Andrew Lippa in his oratorioI Am Harvey Milk at Avery Fisher Hall on October 6, 2014.[133]

Personal life

In 2009, Chenoweth published a memoir, A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages, describing her life and career, including her adoption, her turn in Wicked and her time in Hollywood.[165] Chenoweth suffers from Ménière's disease, an inner-ear disorder that can cause vertigo, headaches and nausea, among other symptoms. She has said that during some performances, she leaned on her co-stars to keep her balance, and that it has caused her to miss performances.[11]
Chenoweth has spoken publicly about her religious faith; she describes herself as a "non-judgmental, liberal Christian".[166] According to The New York Times, when Chenoweth "assured her theater fans that she supports gay rights, her Christian base was outraged; she was disinvited from performing at a Women of Faith conference in September 2005".[167][168] Chenoweth released an album in April 2005, As I Am, a mixture of hymns and contemporary Christian music, with adult contemporary arrangements. To promote the album, she made an appearance on The 700 Club, which upset some of her gay fans.[169] She later said she thought that the "Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary" and that she regretted appearing on the show.[170]
In May 2010, Chenoweth wrote in response to an article in Newsweek by Ramin Setoodeh, an openly gay writer. Setoodeh thought that her Tony-nominated Promises, Promises co-star, Sean Hayes, "comes off as wooden and insincere" in playing the straight character Chuck and that Jonathan Groff has a similar credibility problem in the TV show Glee. He questioned whether any openly gay actor could acceptably portray a straight character.[171] Chenoweth called the article "horrendously homophobic" and criticized Setoodeh's view as rationalizing "the same kind of bullying" that gay youths face in high school. Chenoweth argued that audiences "come to the theater to go on a journey" and do not care about an actor's sexual orientation.[172] The story was discussed in media including The New York Times[173] and the Los Angeles Times.[174]
Chenoweth has dated several men in Hollywood, including producer Dana Brunetti,[175] actors Seth Green, Lane Garrison and Marc Kudisch (to whom she was engaged from 1998 to 2001),[176] and producer/writer Aaron Sorkin.[177] In Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, the character of the Christian Harriet Hayes bears significant resemblances to Chenoweth, and the relationship between Hayes and "East coast liberal Jewish atheist" (Hayes' description) Matt Albie is modeled after that of Chenoweth and Sorkin. For example, Chenoweth's decision to appear on The 700 Club and her falling out with Women of Faith were depicted with the Hayes character.[11][178] Since 2018, Chenoweth has been dating Josh Bryant, the guitarist for country band Backroad Anthem.[179] They became engaged on October 27, 2021.[180]
In 2012, the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center named its theatre the Kristin Chenoweth Theatre.[206] Chenoweth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.[20] In 2015, she was inducted as an honorary member of the Sigma Alpha Iota music fraternity's Sigma Theta chapter at Eastman School of Music.[207]
