[2][3] Chenoweth headlined the one-night-only concert two months after leaving the role of Glinda on Broadway in Wicked.

Chenoweth was joined on stage by two dancers, Seán Martin Hingston and David Elder.

Andrew Gans, in Playbill, praised Chenoweth as an interpreter of lyrics, as well as the range, agility and beauty of her voice, writing: "With a voice that easily glides from Broadway belt to soaring soprano, Chenoweth ... delighted the crowd with an evening that featured classic tunes as well as works by 14 living songwriters.

...[Chenoweth,] arguably the most gifted comedic musical-theatre singer-actress of her generation, drew laughs from most everything she said during the two-hour evening.

"[3] Chenoweth returned to Carnegie Hall for two later concerts that also sold out: in 2005 she performed alongside the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra,[4] and in 2014 she presented "The Evolution of a Soprano".
