The crystal clear soprano Chenoweth delighted a full house at the Sun Valley Pavilion in 2016 when she performed at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s gala fundraiser. Expressive and animated, she was a little bit wicked—flirty, too—and a lot of fun as she kept her audience in stitches and tears.

Her career spans film, television and stage, earning her a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
