Something classic, new and a little political for Chenoweth
NEW YORK (AP) — Tony- and Emmy Award-winner Kristin Chenoweth will deliver some must-have songs when she takes to a Broadway stage Wednesday.
"The West Wing" and "Glee" star will definitely sing "Popular" from the musical "Wicked," which set her on a path to fame.
Chenoweth recently previewed a few of the songs in her upcoming concert, "My Love Letter to Broadway," that starts Wednesday and runs through Nov. 13 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.
In addition to the concert stand, the Oklahoma-raised star also will appear on NBC's "Hairspray Live!" on Dec. 7 — playing the vampy Velma Von Tussle — and she has a new album, "The Art of Elegance," with such classics as "Let's Fall in Love" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered."
For the concert, Chenoweth has turned her "Popular" into a hilarious lampooning of Donald Trump, complete with flipping her hair into a Trumpian pompadour and singing "Popular" about him.
