Lea Michele honors Kristin Chenoweth at Hollywood Bowl
Lea Michele honored her Glee co-star Kristin Chenoweth as she was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame on Saturday (21Jun14), and credited the Broadway star for helping her heal following the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith.
The Tony and Emmy Award winner became the 43rd artist to receive the honor at the fabled Los Angeles venue, taking the stage for the opening night concert of the 2014 summer season.
Veteran comedienne Carol Burnett inducted Chenoweth into the Hall
of Fame, but it was the honoree's performance with Michele that
proved to be the highlight of the evening.
Chenoweth brought Michele on stage to sing her For Good duet from
the hit musical Wicked, and the young actress had some special
words of tribute, revealing Chenoweth was there for her after
Monteith died from a drug overdose last July (13).
Michele told the crowd, "Last summer I got an email from Kristin
saying music will heal everything. At the time, I really didn't get
how that would be possible, but it really did."
In addition to Chenoweth, orchestral collective Pink Martini and
female rockers the Go-Go's were also inducted to the Bowl's 15th
Hall of Fame ceremony, with stars such as Kathy Griffin, Sarah
Michelle Gellar, Dita Von Teese, Natasha Bedingfield and Barbara
Eden among the stars in the audience to celebrate the event.
