Kristin matriculated from Broken Arrow Senior High School before attending Oklahoma City University from where she graduated with her bachelor’s degree in musical theatre, and then a master’s degree in opera performance. While she was still a student, Chenoweth performed at regional theatres in plays like “Gypsy”, “The Sound Of Music”, “Promises, Promises” and so on. She made her debut performance on Broadway in the play “Steel Pier” and grew her prominence on Broadway appearing in many more musicals.

Kristin Dawn Chenoweth Quotes

• I’m sorry they canceled (my television show), but I’ve been to the barbecue before and you can’t do a single thing once they run out of ribs.
• I said okay I was happy to give him that gift. And I watch every week because I’m supportive of Aaron; whether we’re together or not, I love him always. I think it’s a genius show. But…it is weird when I see her behaving in ways that are different from me. I’m really not that judgmental girl. But you have to let artists go where they go – quoted in the New York Times describing how she gave Aaron Sorkin permission to create the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006) character Harriet Hayes, based on her.
• When I was promoting “As I Am” last year, I went on The 700 Club (1966). I wasn’t thinking about what it represents. I guess I was living in a little bit of a bubble, and I was surprised that it upset so many people. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t go, because I don’t agree with that anti-gay stuff. I don’t understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people. What if it was a sin to be short? Well, I guess it is in the Miss Oklahoma pageant.
• I’m a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don’t believe if you’re gay or you have a drink or you dance, you’re going to hell. I don’t think that’s the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I want to be a Christian like Christ – loving and accepting of other people.
• I am a Christian and I don’t want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am. I don’t believe gay people are going to hell. I believe that judgment is left to the one upstairs and I believe Jesus is all about love. If I can live my life even just a smidgen the way God made his son for us as an example, I’m happy. I do not judge other people for what they believe, but for me, this is what works.
• I’ve never changed my clothes so fast in my life. – accepting her 1999 Tony Award, when she had to quickly change out of costume as her award was presented immediately following a musical number she performed in.
• (Guidepost magazine) I was a spiritual kid.
• [on being four feet, eleven inches tall] I used to want to be tall, and then I thought, “If I were tall, then people would say I was pretty and not cute.” And then I realized that there are worse things than being called cute. They could say I was a bitch, which would be terrible in my book. So I’ve decided that this height ain’t so bad.
