Chenoweth headlined the one-night-only concert during her break from performing in the Roundabout Theatre Company's 2006 revival of The Apple Tree.[2][3] She was only the third musical theatre actor ever to present a solo concert at the Met, following Barbara Cook and Yves Montand.[4] The concert was directed by Kathleen Marshall and featured a 12-piece orchestra conducted by Andrew Lippa.[2] Chenoweth's set list featured a diverse selection of musical theatre, opera, pop, country and fan favorites. She was joined on stage by two dancers, Seán Martin Hingston and David Elder, and the Juilliard Choral Union (JCU).[3]
