Wednesday is Kristin Chenoweth’s birthday, and it will be a “Wicked” good day in the City of Boston.
In honor of the Broadway star’s birthday, Mayor Michelle Wu proclaimed that July 24, 2024 is Kristin Chenoweth Day in the city.
Chenoweth’s new musical, “The Queen of Versailles,” debuted last week in Boston’s theater district. The story of a wealthy Florida couple working to build the largest private home in the country headed is headed to Broadway, according to a press release, which also shared Wu’s proclamation.
“I urge all my fellow Bostonians to join me in honoring Kristin Chenoweth’s contributions to the betterment of the City of Boston,” Wu said, in a statement confirmed by her press office.
The hit Broadway show “Wicked” is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The show starred Kristin Chenoweth, who played Glinda, and Idina Menzel, who played Elphaba. The two reunited on the red carpet to celebrate the milestone anniversary, and they reflected on their special experience with the musical with Access Hollywood.
The Tony and Emmy award-winning actress sat down with NBC10 Boston last week for an unfiltered interview discussing her new musical, her love for Boston and more.
She said the city has a deep love of the arts: “I love the history. I love the people, love the food.”
“The Queen of Versailles” is playing now through Aug. 25 at The Emerson Colonial Theatre.
Maria Sansone sat down with none other than Kristin Chenoweth ahead of her Boston performance of ‘Queen of Versailles’, a world premiere musical based on the 2012 documentary following the lives of Florida billionaires David and Jackie Siegel. In the interview, Maria and Kristin discuss her love for the city of Boston, the backstory of the musical, advice on dealing with nerves, and everything in between.
