Kristin Chenoweth in Concert, in 2012, was the debut concert tour by actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth.
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.[citation needed] 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."[This quote needs a citation] 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.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]
