A Little Bit Wicked

Life, Love, and Faith in Stages

By: Kristin Chenoweth

Narrated by: Kristin Chenoweth

In this frank and funny memoir, the Tony Award-winning star of stage and screen shares her journey from small-town Oklahoma to big-time Broadway, vamping on what it takes to stand firmly on a foundation of family and faith while wearing a hot pair of Jimmy Choo platform sling-backs.

Critic reviews

"To use her phrase, this book is 'a hoot and a holler' - a fast-paced frolic that her fans will appreciate. ( Publishers Weekly)

such a delightful personality

Bought on Audible
Actual Rating 4.5 Wine Glasses

What I Loved: Kristin Chenoweth is just such a delightful personality. She has great stories from her life both professionally and personally. I don't feel like she held anything back! She does it with such poise, humor, and a little wink/nudge to her friends. This was like getting a glimpse into what I think is one of the most down-to-earth celebrities there is today. It might be her southern roots but you just feel like she is someone you could sit down, have dinner, and chat about day to day stuff.

What I Liked: Her friends, family, and moments that just made me giggle hysterically! I love that she tackled everything faith, failed relationships, the theater, her friends, and hair mishaps.

Audio Specific Review: Kristen read, sang, and giggled her way through reading this! It was fantastic and the way I would suggest getting this book.

Why I gave it a 4.5: It was 7 hours of just plain fun!

Who would I recommend it too: Kristin Chenoweth fans

Not the same Kristin seen on Talk Shows

Purchased this for two reasons;
1. Recommendation from TWIT guest
2. I love her voice and character in the TV series "West Wing"
Kristin's voice and dry sense of humor makes this book most enjoyable. Humor at ever turn and little tag lines throughout the book coupled with a behind the scenes look at what it really takes to make it on Broadway.

Sweet book for a sweet girl

I'm seeing Kristin perform in March and wanted to know more of her personal back history. I'm glad I did, she's lived a touched life and seems to freely express her gratitude for that.

Clearly ghostwritten; definitely has an agenda

Any additional comments?

I found myself liking Kristin Chenoweth less and less as the book went on; she seemed to be writing to defend herself and promote "her side" of every story. I guess that is the point of a memoir, but it was a little grating. Also, the narrator mispronounced several common words, which made it seem like she hadn't even read the book before sitting down to record. Overall, I am disappointed that I spent a credit on this book.

Authentic and Funny

Absolutely loved listening to Kristin being completely open, vulnerable, and funny. Highly recommend to others!
