Kristin Chenoweth concert chronology

Kristin Chenoweth Live At The Met was a concert by American singer-songwriter and actress Kristin Chenoweth at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York City on January 19, 2007.[1]

Chenoweth announced in October 2006 that she would be headlining a one-night-only concert at the Metropolitan Opera House during her break from performing in the Roundabout Theatre Company's 2006 revival of The Apple Tree. The concert also marked history for Chenoweth being the only the third musical theatre star ever to present a solo concert at the location, following Barbara Cook and Yves Montand. The concert was directed by Kathleen Marshall and featured a 12 piece orchestra conducted by Andrew Lippa. The set list featured Chenoweth performing a diverse selection of musical theatre, opera, pop, country, and fan favorites. She was also joined on stage by two dancers and the Juilliard Choral Union (under the direction of Judith Clurman).

The concert was sold out and received very positive reviews from critics, who praised Chenoweth's powerful voice and humor.[2][3][4]
