Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, most recently on Broadway in Stephen Schwartz's Wicked, is scheduled to sing at the Los Angeles Dodgers' Opening Day Celebration April 3.
Chenoweth, who may return to Broadway in a revival of The Apple Tree, will lend her rangy voice to "God Bless America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Dodger Stadium, which will host the team's 45th season opener. The Dodgers are scheduled to play the Atlanta Braves.
The celebration will also feature a live concert by Hootie and the Blowfish, a video tribute to Tommy Lasorda and a B2 Stealth Bomber flyover.
Kristin Chenoweth, who received a Tony nomination for her work as Glinda in Stephen Schwartz's Wicked, has been seen on the New York stage in The Fantasticks, Scapin, Steel Pier, A New Brain, Epic Proportions, Strike Up the Band, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Apple Tree and Candide. The actress won her Tony Award for her performance as Sally Brown in the Broadway bow of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Chenoweth recently released her second solo recording, "As I Am" (Sony Classical), and her screen credits include "Kristin," "The West Wing," "The Pink Panther," "Asphalt Beach," "Running with Scissors" and "Stranger Than Fiction."
