Kristin Chenoweth concert chronology

Background

Following the end of her Broadway run in the 2010 revival of Promises Promises, Chenoweth went to Nashville to finish recording her 4th studio album Some Lessons Learned. In February 2012, Chenoweth announced she would embark on her first concert tour. Chenoweth said, "I've sung all over the place but I've never committed to a tour because of my schedule. So I am finally able to do it." She performed shows in America and Canada, with brief stops in the United Kingdom and Australia [1]

Concert synopsis

The concert was directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and accompanied by a 15 piece orchestra conducted by Mary-Mitchell Campbell. Chenoweth performed a diverse selection of songs with which she has been associated throughout her career, including hits from Wicked, Promises Promises, and Glee, along with original songs from some of her solo albums, and a mix of her favorite songs from musical theatre and opera. Chenoweth was backed up by three background singer/dancers who have previously worked with her on Broadway.
