The Emmy and Tony Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth is set to perform at Mercyhurst's Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center. Chenoweth is an Oklahoma native whose performances have enraptured audiences from Broadway to the big screen. Her fans often disagree on what her most famous roles are —  it's a tough decision when she excels in theater, TV, and feature films.

However, if it's her music that stands out to you, then you're in luck. Chenoweth will be showing off her vocals at Mercyhurst. Her latest album For the Girls is set to be released on September 27 and pays homage to Chenoweth's favorite female singers in a series of covers. For this highly anticipated LP, Chenoweth has teamed up with Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, Jennifer Hudson, and Reba McEntire.
