Early Life

She was always the one in her class to perform, and was in love with the idea of being on stage since she was a small child.
This desire took her to Oklahoma City University, where she began to blossom both as a performer and a person. She was voted “Miss OCU” and ultimately won first runner-up prize in the Miss Oklahoma pageant. However, Chenoweth offered then and continues to offer much more than beauty now.
She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in musical theater and a master’s degree in opera performance. Soon after graduation, Chenoweth turned down opportunities to advance her studies even further and made her way to the theater. It was here that Chenoweth’s star began to rise.
