I have been on a Wicked/WIzard of Oz kick lately and was perusing Amazon for books on both and came across this. I love Kristin Chenoweth on stage (from what I've seen of her on tv), but I was shocked to learn she recorded The Song Remembers When on her 2005 cd. She sounds great, just not Trisha's version that we all love so much. Its cool that she liked the song enough to record it though. Here is a link to a snippet of Kristin's version. Check it out.

I have that cd and while I love Kristin's voice (and have several of her cds), no one sings "The Song Remembers When" as beautifully as Trisha does! Just my opinion though!

I hail from Kristin's home state. Although I like her very much, she really should stick with songs like "Taylor, The Latte Boy". She's more suited to that stuff. Anything that requires true emotion seems kind of contrived/artificial from her. Maybe it's her Musical Theatre background?

To bad you don't live in Boston, A local theater group The GoldDust Orpahns are doing an original production Whizzin loosely based on oz/the wiz/ wicked and Urine Town
Ryan Landry and the Gold Dust Orphans are proud to announce the Boston premier of their latest hit musical,"Whizzin'!"
An adult version of the beloved classic, "The Wizard of Oz", "Whizzin'" tells the musical story of troubled teenager Dorothy Gale, as she travels over the rainbow, far from the dull, sepia toned trailer parks of Hyannis to the deep, dark recesses of her own VERY colorful mind.
It's a musical, magical place called "The Land of Id" where all your favorite characters reside! There's a pill popping Glinda, some VERY gay Munchkins, an agoraphobic Tin Man, a painfully insecure Lion, a cell phone addicted Scarecrow ... even the sociopathic Wicked Witch of the South End flies in for a spell!
Chock full of terrific new songs, (plus a few standards!) "Whizzin'!" just can't be beat for all out entertainment! The show boasts an all-star cast of Orphan favorites, including Afrodite, Penny Champagne, Megan Love, Olive Another, Billy Hough, Ryan Landry, Cheri Amour and returning to the Orphan stage, Boston favorite Rick Park!
