Chenoweth to take us on a trip to Broadway via Tucson Music Hall

Kristin Chenoweth will be performing with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra as part of the Tucson Desert Song Fest.

Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth brings her “Intimate Evening” concert to the Tucson Symphony Orchestra on Thursday, Jan. 17, as part of the 2019 Tucson Desert Song Festival.

It marks the first time Chenoweth, nominated for a Tony Award for originating the role of Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” on Broadway, will stand on a Tucson stage and, if past performances are any indication, folks in the Tucson Music Hall audience will likely be talking about it long after Chenoweth takes her final bows.
