Bubbly and funny Kristin Chenoweth may be best known as one of Broadway’s hottest performers, but she has certainly made inroads into Hollywood of late. The Tony Award-winning actress, whose latest Broadway hit was Wicked, can be currently seen in what might be the last season of TV’s idiosyncratic Pushing Daisies, and hits the big screen this holiday season as Reese Witherspoon’s needy sister in the often farcical holiday comedy, Four Christmases, starring Vince Vaughn. In this exclusive interview, Chenoweth talked comedy, music and the future of both Pushing Daisies and the possible Wicked movie, with Paul Fischer.

The following Exclusive Interview about Kristin Chenoweth: Funny Girl, by Paul Fischer

Paul Fischer: What was the particular attraction of doing a comedy like Four Christmases? Was it just the idea of working with people like Vince and Reese, or was it the overall project?


Kristin Chenoweth: I guess it was like a combination of those, because I knew that it was to play Reese’s sister, and I really wanted to work with her, as I’ve admired her for a long time.

Kristin Chenoweth - Epic Proportions, Broadway, Theater appearances

Kristin Chenoweth appeared in Theater, Broadway, Epic Proportions (1999) as Louise Goldman.

After 27 previews, the Broadway production, Epic Proportions directed by Jerry Zaks, opened on October 1, 1999 at the Helen Hayes Theatre, where it ran for 93 performances. The cast included Kristin Chenoweth as Louise, Alan Tudyk as Benny, Jeremy Davidson as Phil, and Richard B. Shull as DeWitt. Shull died of a heart attack thirteen days after opening night. The play is also currently being put on at Roosevelt School of the Arts in Fresno, CA.

The first of "Epic Proportions" Broadway... Set in the 1930s, it tells the story of brothers Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to work as extras in the Biblical epic film Exeunt Omnes, directed by the mysteriously reclusive D.W. DeWitt. All 3400 extras are supervised by Louise Goldman, who divides them into groups by asking them to count off by four. While Phil's experience as a "Three" includes relatively pleasant scenes of feasts and parades, brother Benny is a "Four," meaning he is included in all ten plagues. As things progress and everything begins to fall apart, Phil finds himself behind the cameras as the film's director, with Benny in a starring role. The two fall in love with Louise, leading to a brother vs. brother rivalry typical of epic movies.
