Best known for her appearances in Broadway musicals and her television show KRISTIN, Kristin Chenoweth is an actress and singer who has also enjoyed a career as a recording artist. A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND CHRISTMAS (2008) finds the classically trained vocalist giving her renditions of contemporary Christmas songs ("I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Silver Bells") and traditional fare ("What Child is This?"). Those already familiar with Chenoweth's refined soprano will find much to appreciate on this elegant holiday release. minimize
