So, ummmmmm...there was this one time (2 days ago) when the irresistible, bubbly Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth (who originally played Glinda in the Broadway hit musical "Wicked") made a special visit to the weekly music night at the Encircle House (an LGBTQ family & youth resource center in Salt Lake City). ♪♪ And I spontaneously got to accompany her on "Popular" (her signature solo from "Wicked") & also sing/play other songs w/ her & the crowd that night! :D
So here's a video of Kristin absolutely ROCKIN' "Popular!" ^_^ I've been a HUGE fan of the original Broadway cast recording of "Wicked" since junior high, so this was an insanely fun opportunity! I LOOOOOVE that she stopped in the middle of the song to take a selfie w/ Keeley Milner (who was celebrating her 12th birthday)! :P
And right before we started the song, my friend, Zachary Scharman (who runs the weekly music nights at Encircle), told Kristin that this was actually the 2nd time I've collaborated w/ her, & then I explained to her that I was the synthesizer player in the orchestra (for 4 of her songs) at the 2017 BYU Homecoming Spectacular where she performed her little heart out! ♥ (I didn't officially meet her during those rehearsals/shows).
Thanks to all my friends that made that night w/ Kristin so very special: Ron Gunnell (Kristin's host during her Utah visit), the other instrumentalists (Maxwell Eddington, Ella Moss, Gabriel Gutierrez, & Zachary Scharman), Tyler Domgaard (the Encircle program manager), Mason Moore, Zach Grigg, Griffin Hendrickson, Justin Kwong, Colette Dalton, Kallie Pead, etc. :)
