She’s Just a Bit “Wicked”

Kristin Chenoweth’s latest biography, “A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love and Faith in Stages,” is designed to be just like the former “Wicked” star herself, from tidbits of details regarding her hair style and stalkers to candid moments where she couldn’t stop gushing about her on again, off again relationship with West Wing writer Aaron Sorkin and more, the first book, she describes, is “more of a tea party and less of  aWagnerian night at the Opera.” The book is just like you would want to describe the meeting of a new best friend, as Chenoweth talks about everything, with the help of ghostwriter Joni Rodgers, that describes her faithful devotion to her religion (she is a devout Christian) and her stardom, both on the stage as well as her ill fated career with the television series “Pushing Daisies.” The story even starts all the way in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where Chenoweth was born, to her days of curlers and eyelashes as a beauty pageant contestant to music school and Broadway, where she won a Tony for “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” while also starring in “The Apple Tree.” Though she no longer stars as the adorablly naieve but lovable Glinda the Good Witch on stage, she has made the role imperfect for others, helping Wicked tickets sell for years.
