Kristin Chenoweth concert chronology

Background

The tour was announced in February 2012 on Chenoweth's official website. While the singer had done spot shows in Los Angeles and New York City, this marked her first concert tour.[2] In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, she stated that touring was new territory despite her Broadway background.[3] Wanting to incorporate her new album and elements of the stage, Chenoweth stated that the show would not be "boring":,[4] "The tour is not just a stand-and-sing affair. There's a cast. There's movement and acting. It's very well-crafted, a very full evening."[3]

Due to a tracheal infection, Chenoweth had to reschedule shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Nashville.[5] In August 2012, she suffered a head injury while filming The Good Wife.[6] While recovering, dates in Europe[7] and Australia were rescheduled to 2013. The rescheduled UK shows were canceled at the last minute, citing inadequate funding from the promoter, Speckulation Entertainment, as the reason.[8]

Concert synopsis

The concert was directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and accompanied by a small orchestra conducted by Mary-Mitchell Campbell. Chenoweth performed a diverse selection of songs with which she has been associated, including hits from her musicals, along with original songs from Some Lessons Learned and some of her previous solo albums, and a few of her other favorite songs.[9]
