She is also one of the nicest people ever to become a major star in show business. Her life story is as unexpected as her talent is overwhelming. \nLeo Durocher famously said “Nice guys finish last. He obviously never heard of Kristin Chenoweth. CLICK HERE to read about Kristin’s charity. \nMaddies Corner \nKristin Chenoweth is a Tony award-winning Broadway star whose name on a marquee sells a lot of tickets. On television\, \nKristen Chenoweth West Wing \nshe has won raves and an Emmy award with roles as diverse as a lovesick waitress and a presidential press advisor. Her recordings have been enormously popular and her concerts have sold out in both the USA and Europe. Kristin Chenoweth singing voice has been referred to by some as “the voice of the century.” She can bring down the house with a Broadway show tune\, but also sing pop\, Opera\, country\, and pretty much any style of music you can name. While the movies have not been as successful a medium for her\, she has appeared in a number of good films and her comic timing\, wacky voice and stunning good looks would seem to suggest that movie success is just a matter of time. \nOn a personal level\, Kristin Chenoweth is a very compassionate Christian who is proud and open when it comes to discussing her faith. She’s been a lightning rod for some conservative Christians because she openly favors gay marriage and argues against hatred\, intolerance\, or bigotry of any kind. She also has a reputation for being one of the kindest and most considerate people in the entertainment business. On several occasions\, although we’ve never met\, she has gone out of her way to do favors for me that I have reinforced her reputation for being one of the most genuine stars working today. \nIn this multimedia presentation you will be dazzled by her talent\, fascinated by her life story\, and inspired  by her personality. She is a woman to admire! \nIMPORTANT: This program is free for members of the LFSC; $10 for guests. Registration is required for this event!
