Howdy All, How are you all doing? Big article in today's (Saturday's) Entertainment section of the Toronto Star about Cheno. Read below. And also go here: http://www.thestar.com/article/619690 to see the full article. Fans were asked to email questions for KC to the Star. A question I emailed is below. N.B. Of course, I know that Maddie is named after Madeline Kahn. I'm not a total doofus of a fan, after all. Just a little bit of one... Bye for now all, Ciao, Randy, aka Zardoz Kristin Chenoweth: Just a bit naughty Getting personal with Kristin Chenoweth Q: What would you say was the greatest piece of advice given to you while pursuing your musical theatre dreams? Laura Larson, Waterloo A: It came from a master class I took with a New York actor when I was in college in Oklahoma City. He said, "If you can see yourself doing anything else at all besides theatre, you should do it, because this business is full of rejections and heartaches. But if it's the only thing that will make you happy, then follow it with all your heart." Q: I've heard rumours that there could possibly be a conclusion to the Pushing Daisies series in a movie or comic book. Do you know if there is any truth to this? Clarissa Ramlal, Richmond Hill A: The good news is they're finally going to air the last three episodes in May on Saturday nights, so look out for that. Brian Fuller, our genius creator, has talked to all of us about doing the movie, but that's as far as it's gone so far. And yes, they are doing the comic book series. Q: Do you travel with your pooch Maddie when doing concerts? Randy Meingast, Owen Sound A: Madeline Kahn (to use her full name, since she's named after that late, great actress) comes with me on most of my trips, if possible. She's my baby. I did have to leave her this morning, because she's not that great of a flier. But we won't be apart for long. Q: You were all set to be an opera singer. What happened at that one musical theatre audition to change your mind? Gabi Epstein, Toronto A: I had grown up singing in church. Then at school, my voice teacher really opened up my mind and my voice to opera and I started to succeed in that, so I thought that was what God wanted me to do. Although, secretly, I had always dreamed of Broadway, so when I accompanied my friend to an audition and got the job, I leapt at the opportunity.
