Kristin Chenoweth Latest News, Photos, and Videos

The witches are coming!

Jahzir Kadeem Bruno is making his debut in the upcoming remake of The Witches.

The young actor stars as the young boy in the film, who you will actually only see for about half of the movie because he gets turned into a mouse!

The Witches is based off of the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, and tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Octavia Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis.

As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

The Witches also stars Stanley Tucci, Kristin Chenoweth, Codie-Lei Eastick and the voice of Chris Rock.

The Warner Bros film was originally set to debut in theaters, but it will now premiere on HBO Max just in time for Halloween on October 22nd!

Dove Cameron and Kristin Chenoweth are teaming up once again – sort of!

The two blonde beauties, who have co-starred as mother and daughter in Descendants and Hairspray Live, have both been cast in an upcoming musical TV series, led by Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key, TV Line reports.

The series “follows Melissa and Josh (Strong and Key), a couple who are on a backpacking trip designed to reinvigorate their relationship when they discover a magical town in which everyone acts as if they’re in a musical from the 1940s. The twosome then discover that they can’t leave said town until they find ‘true love.’”

Kristin will play Mildred, the reverend’s morally superior wife who is in everybody’s business. Reverend Layton will be played by Fred Armisen.

Dove will take on the role of Betsy, the farmer’s daughter who instantly falls for Josh.

Other big names from Broadway and more who are set to star in the musical show include Aaron Tveit, Alan Cumming, Ariana DeBose, Jaime Camil, Jane Krakowski and Ann Harada.

Despicable Me franchise writers Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio co-created the series, and Cinco will write all of the original music and serve as showrunner. The Series is also executive produced by SNL boss Lorne Michaels.

Flashback Friday!

It has been exactly FIVE years since the first Descendants movie premiered on Disney Channel on July 31, 2015.

The Kenny Ortega-directed DCOM starred Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart, Cameron Boyce, Sarah Jeffery, Mitchell Hope, Brenna D’Amico, Kristin Chenoweth and more.

Descendants brought us the songs “Rotten to the Core,” “Evil Like Me,” “Did I Mention,” “If Only,” “Be Our Guest,” “Set It Off,” and “Believe.”

Here’s a synopsis: Driven by exciting music and performance, the story is set in the idyllic kingdom of Auradon where Ben, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Beauty and the Beast), is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, the trouble-making offspring of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil and Jafar, who have been imprisoned on the forbidden Isle of the Lost for 20 years.

These villainous descendants are allowed into Auradon for the first time to attend prep school alongside the teenage progeny of Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan. Only time will tell if these evil teens follow in the footsteps of their wicked parents!

Dove Cameron‘s parents (sort of) came to see her in The Light In The Piazza!

The 23-year-old is starring as Clara in the musical at the LA Opera and on Sunday night (October 20), she had two Descendants co-stars in the audience.

Dove‘s on screen parents, Kristin Chenoweth and Cheyenne Jackson, caught the show and were both blown away and left in tears.

“I’m just processing what i just witnessed. Up until now only tears ….. soon i will have words. #LightInThePiazza @dovecameron @reneeflemingmusic #BrianStokesMitchell and the entire cast and orchestra,” Kristin captioned a photo of the trio.

“Mom & Dad went to go support our baby in #LightinThePiazza at @laopera. She and the production were both breathtaking. #TheFamilyThatCriesTogether,” Cheyenne wrote with another pic.

It’s not a secret that Dove Cameron and Kristin Chenoweth not only make the cutest on-screen mother and daughter pair, but they’re also the cutest friends in real life too.

Just after Dove‘s Emmy nomination was announced, Kristin sent out a cute message to Dove‘s real mom, Bonnie J. Wallace on Twitter.

“@BonnieJWallace our girl is up for an Emmy!” Kristin wrote, with Bonnie replying, “So happy and proud of her, co-mama!”

Later on, Kristin actually sent Dove a sweet video that she just shared online today.

“When you look back on your life and somehow your childhood hero/role model is now your friend & mother figure and she’s wishing you congratulations on your emmy nomination and it’s actually not a dream,” Dove captioned.
