Music Theatre students at Elon University sing at the Carolina Theatre of Durham alongside Broadway star Kristin Chenowith
On Saturday, January 30, twelve music theatre majors at Elon University had the amazing opportunity to sing alongside seasoned Broadway star, Kristin Chenowith. “An Evening With Kristin Chenowith” was the Carolina Theatre of Durham’s 90 Anniversary Celebration Concert.
Mary-Mitchell Campbell, a very successful Broadway musical director and conductor, was in charge of finding local singers to perform as back-up vocalists for a few of Chenowith’s songs in her concert. Upon hearing about the well-respected reputation of Elon’s music theatre program, Campbell asked professor Catherine McNeela, head of the Music Theatre program, if she could put together a group of students to sing in the concert.
