Speaking of Kristin, here is a bit from Liz Smith's column today:
"KRISTIN CHENOWETH will leave her acclaimed role in Broadway's "Wicked" on July 18. Upcoming on her plate is "Candide" at Lincoln Center, a Sept. 10 Carnegie Hall stint, and an independent movie titled "Asphalt Beach." And in 2006, she will star in the L.A. Opera's original production of "Alice in Wonderland." "

Just a reminder about Candide. Those of us not in New York can listen to a live broadcast tomorrow night on internet radio. It's on Friday at 8PM eastern and 7PM central at www.wnyc.org. I'm sure it will be spectacular.

I listened to most of it. I thought it was great. I heard it was taped so it might be aired on PBS in January. And this is just me speculating, but I bet they'll release a CD of the event.

AH, Candide. Fun times. That was the night I hit Patti LuPone on the ass with a camera. (I did. Long story.)
Anyway. I LOVED Candide. Did I have any idea what was going on in the plot? Not a clue. People died, came back to life, died again, came back to life... why? No idea. But man, was it funny! And the chorus was AMAZING. Also, it's impossible (IMO) to NOT be moved by the finale, Make My Garden Grow. So beautiful.

I hope the camera mishap was an accident!

Very much an accident. Champagne went one way (I was trying to get a few friends together for a picture, and I was also holding a champagne flute) and my camera went the other. It just so happens Patti LuPone was standing a few feet away with her (son? I think?) and some other people. My camera is what hit her. Right in the ass. I was so embarrassed (humiliated is probably the better word--especially since I wasn't even drunk!) and ran for napkins so I missed her immediate reaction, but apparently she was very amused. My friends told me she was laughing. And for the rest of the night, all I heard was, "Is there anything ELSE you would like to throw at Patti LuPone?"

The PBS' "Great Performances" of "Candide" with Chenoweth is scheduled for next Wednesday, Jan. 12, according to local TV listing.
Story says she was going to Texas for Thanx with parents, but got bronchitis.
Rumor is she may become the press secretary on "West Wing"; she says "they're grooming me for something big, but they're making me keep my mouth shut."
She's the title voice in Disney's "Rapunzel" (2006 or 2007), will be in "The Pink Panther" with Steve Martin, and Nora Ephron's "Bewitched" ("the most sheer fun I've ever had on any production"), short NY run of "The Apple Tree" in May, and thens starts "offbeat movie musical called 'Asphalt Beach.'"

Anyone have feelings pro or con about her performing at Bush's Inaugural. Peters performed at Clinton's don't know if she lost any conservative fans because of it although she's also performed at the White House with W. there.

I'm surprised at the intensity of the negative reactions towards Chenoweth performing at the Inaugural. I was completely unprepared for how many people were going to react that vociferously. There have been calls to boycott everything she does and even to pressure potential employers not to hire her.
Wow, that's just not right. I'm not a Republican, and I vehemently disagree with their policies, but tolerance of political differences is essential to a healthy, functioning, pluralistic democracy. How did it ever come to this?

I agree, Karen. I am shocked by how people are freaking out over this. I like Kristin Chenoweth because I think she is very talented and great to watch, I really don't care what her politics are.

Who's freaking out about it? Did you read it in an article somewhere?

Kristin is NOT NOT NOT performing at Bush's inaugural. She's performing at a bi-partisan event unrelated to the actual inaugural. Also, its tentatively scheduled for her.
The Post article (if that's where this info came from) is incorrect. For instance, if you'll notice, the article states that Kristin won a TONY award for WICKED (she did not.) This isn't the first time that the Post has printed erroneously (or erroneously biased) info.

They put an announcement up today on Kristin's website that she will not be performing in Washington after all.
