Kristin Chenoweth to Release Coming Home Live Album

Tony and Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth will release Coming Home, her first-ever live album, on November 17. The Concord Records release features 15 songs and captures the performer singing at the Kristin Chenoweth Theatre in the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center in her hometown of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

"The whole experience was very emotional," said Chenoweth in a statement. "Any time you come home, you have a flood of emotions, and singing in front of people I've known most of my life made me even more nervous. But I couldn't imagine doing it anyplace else."

On Coming Home, Chenoweth is accompanied by an 11-piece band, a trio of backup vocalists, and the Broken Arrow High School Choir. The set list spans her stage and screen career, incorporating Broadway classics, pop standards, and contemporary material. The CD is the audio counterpart to Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home, a television concert special that will premiere on PBS stations nationwide on November 28.

A Broadway favorite, Kristin Chenoweth will soon return to the Great White Way in On the Twentieth Century. The revival of the Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Cy Coleman musical will star Chenoweth as Hollywood starlet Lily Garland.
