    Kristen Chenoweth is my all time favorite actress! hide show

    Kristen Chenoweth is my all time favorite actress! I saw her live when I first saw Wicked and I was immediately under her spell! Her voice and characterization are both simply womderful! As soon as commercials for Pushing Daisies began, I was anxious to see her in a "serious role"... Thank Goodness She Wasn't In A Serious Role! i loved her character so much more with her playing a ditzy lovestruck woman. I don't think that anyone else would have done the part justice! Every time Kristen (Olive) opened her mouth to sing, a huge grin stretched across my face! it was so exciting for me to see her singing right in my living room! Kristen made the show what it was!

    More than just the "Wicked" star hide show

    Couldn't she be more perfect? At 4'11'', Kristin Chenoweth is proving that talent could come in small packages. A trained opera singer, Kristin already has an Tony award under her belt. Although most popular as Glinda in the Broadway musical "Wicked", Cheno, as she is fondly called, is now making waves as Olive in "Pushing Daisies". The role often calls her to sing occasionally, which truly makes the show more unique as it already is. Oh, I just love Kristin's soprano, but her acting also does not go unnoticed.

    My fearless forecast is that Kristin will go down in Hollywood and Broadway history as one of the greatest talent ever lived, ranking with the likes of Julie Andrews and others. But for now, I'm just happy to see her on Daisies.

    Kristin has all the qualities of a real star. She is beautiful, charming, a phenomenal singer, talented actress, an intelligent and humorous woman, and very humble. hide show

    Kristin is a phenomenal singer! To be able to sing broadway, opera, and her own solo work is amazing. She originated the role of Glinda in the Broadway musical, Wicked and I highly suggest you go out and buy the original Wicked album. She is also a Tony Award winner and it was well deserved.

    Kristin is also a very talented actress. I love her role in Pushing Daisies on ABC. I also loved her small roles in Bewitched, Pink Panther, RV, Stranger Than Fiction, Ugly Betty. Although I do not watch The West Wing, she was on that show for a good amount of time and I am sure she was amazing on that show.

    She's adorable, with a fantastc voice and acting skills! hide show

    How can you not love Kristin? As I mentioned in the summary, she is simply adorable. As she proved in Wicked, her voice is outstanding- but her acting is so great as well. She does perky and funny and charming very well- I'm so glas she's getting a role in this fall's Pushing Daisies on ABC. I'd pretty much watch everything for Kristin- from RV to Ugly Betty, she always delivers. Kristin, Kristin, Kristin... funy, charming, adorable- but now I'm repeating myself. I hope to see her a lot more in the future, singing as well as acting. Love ya, Kristin!

    Comedic genious with a voice of pure gold, Kristin Chenoweth is by far the most talented actress the Broadway stage has seen for a long time. hide show

    Kristin is my idol. I have seen her in the Apple Tree (three times!) and she is amazing. I have listened to Popular at LEAST 190 times and truly admire her as a person and as a performer. Her comic timing is perfect, her diction crystal clear and she is the owner of a voice like no other. Stephen Schwartz calls her 'The hottest young talent to hit Broadway in years' and the New York times claims her 'The best argument for cloning the Broadway stage has to offer'

    She is so charming, unique and just incredibly talented. She steals the show in every production she's been in (in my opinion). And on talk shows she is so adorable, witty and sweet. She is also very beautiful, inside and outside. I think one of the great things about Kristin is how she made it. She's from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Who's heard of Broken Arrow? I mean she went to an audition for fun, got a part. Lived in a tiny apartment with like 5 other people for a long time! And look at her now! She is Kristin Chenoweth! A Tony Award winner (and after seeing the Apple Tree, she will most certainly be nominated and *hopefully* win) and nominated for Wicked. Which she totally deserved a Tony for! I mean HELLO! Who wasn't touched by her performance as G(a)linda!!!!

    I have her on the West Wing and have seen her first seen and she is FANTASTIC! So smart and wonderful. I grew up watching her version of Annie (I'm a musical GEEK in case you didn't notice) and she is just fantastic! I have her on the Music Man and i will so watch that. And does anyone know where i can purchase 'Kristin'? I really, really want to see it. And she could so make that work now!!!

    She's truly, 100% amazing!!! I have learnt so much from watching and observing her performances. Gotten so many laughs from her interviews (she has the CUTEST stories!!!) and meeting her was the most amazing two minutes of my life! LOL! But they were. TOTALLY! Well, up there with winning a singing contest but STILL! She is the best!

    Kristin Chenoweth, you are an inspiration to so many people and a role model. My singing teacher told me that as a singer you fulfill your goal when you reach out and touch someone. If that is the case, then she has MORE than fulfilled her goal!
