Kristin Chenoweth brings both music and messages to the Winspear RICH LOPEZ | Staff writer rich@dallasvoice.com Of all the famous celebrities out there, Kristin Chenoweth is one who has always known how to keep it real.
Her down-to-earth demeanor comes through on stage and on the phone. And when she’s late to a gig, she owns up to it. I saw Chenoweth perform live in 2017 in Midland, Texas, at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center.
She was about an hour late, and the crowd wasn’t so much restless as they were confused. But Chenoweth was not pulling a Madonna or Beyonce diva moment. “I remember that,” the Broadway star recalled when I spoke with her this week. “The plane had run late, and when we landed, I came off that plane and headed straight for the venue. “I didn’t bother with makeup or a gown.
I just had to get there to start the show.” She appeased the crowd by walking on lugging her rolling suitcase and wearing jeans.
