0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>she is beautiful inside and out.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Her soul is beautiful.

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>She's been in a multitude of plays, including some of

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>my favorites. She's been in Phantom of the Opera. She's

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>been in The King and I and my all time favorite.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I know her best for the role she made famous

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in the play Wicked. She played gu Linda with a GA. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about actress singer Kristin chiniwith Kristin is an

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>operatically trained singer. She has one of the broadest ranges

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of any recording artist today. She's produced several albums, singing

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>everything from opera to country to gospel. She's able to

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>hit a note the F six, also known as the

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>F above high se I have like a three note range,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that she's able to hit a note

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that there's not even like an actual key for because.

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>It's above high.

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>See as you'll see in a moment, her speaking voice

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>is adorable, brings a richness to the character she plays

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>on stage as well as on TV and in movies.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:04.320

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't hear your voice without like wanting

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>to say something like, you know, a line from Wicked.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 3>If that's all right. I'm glad that my voice is

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 3>distinctive and makes people remember certain parts and stuff. I

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 3>think that's cool.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how many times I came to see

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you in Wicked?

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>No tell me, I.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Think I saw you in it three times. I've seen

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it three or four more times since, but you I

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think you were you were in it the first three

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>times I saw.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Mike, I'm so glad. Did you love it? Do

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>you think I will tell you something? A little Bertie

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>told me that you snuck in some really nice fancy

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 3>popcorn to Wicked and got caught away and pretended to

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>go to a car that doesn't experience in front of

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>the acuter you don't put your porn away, and then

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 3>came back and still sew it in it, brought it

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>in again, and then you both started chopping because you

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 3>were hungry. And I just want to say that at

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 3>my show, I welcomed the popcorn. Bring it.

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh did they tell you that that?

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>In order to get in, I found a really handsome

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>man and I went and looped my arm through his

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>so I could hide the bag, and his girlfriend or

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>his wife that was on the other side did not

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Actually, that part of the story was left out. But

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 3>my favorite is that your friend when you said, okay,

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 3>i'll take it out, I'll take it to the car,

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>and you both neither one of you brought your car,

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 3>and you went.

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>We don't have a car. I'm like, shut up, you

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>shutting up.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Go with me, here, go with me. I think it's

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 3>hilarious that she also when you were eating it in

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>the show she couldn't help herself and how to eat

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>it too. I think that's funny. I'm sorry, that's one

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 3>of my favorite theater stories.

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to kill her. I'm so going to kill her.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh. I wasn't going to let you get away with it, baby,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 3>I was not going to let you get away with it.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll have popcorn together. It was the calmely corn.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, it was so good. When I see you,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I will bring you some.

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Bring it to me and give it

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>me while I'm a stage. I think that'd be a

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 3>really big hit.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't dare me, Kristen, because I will.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 3>I dare you, I dare you? Friend along I love it.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, we'll be there with bells on.

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:15.799
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good, good, good.

<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be playing some of the songs

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>for the girls, but also for the guys who are

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>listening because they could be an honorary girl. All they

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.359
<v Speaker 1>have to do is get in touch with their sappy side.

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 3>That's right, and they love us, so you know, so.

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:48.360

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It works, It works. I want to know how you

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>how you chose the particular songs that that you chose

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the way we were. Oh my gosh, that was the

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>theme of our high school prom, by the way, was

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>it really?

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>It was?

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>It was our senior high school prom and we decorated

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>with evergreens all over the gymnasium.

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah was it?

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Cool?

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 2>It was super cool.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Our proms were not like you spend five thousand dollars

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to have a limo and a corsage and sit down dinner.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>We'd go get pizza at Pizza Rays and then go

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to the grade school gymnasium and dance.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Same here. Yeah.

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>But I especially, I especially want you to share the

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>story of Desperado because that is my dedication to somebody

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I love dearly.

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 2>So tell me about that when.

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 3>It makes me. It makes me so happy. Well, I

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.679
<v Speaker 3>was a little kid. I remember hearing this beautiful woman's

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 3>voice sing in this song Desperado. I went, I understand that,

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 3>and I just get it because when I heard it

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 3>and Linda sang it, I thought, well, yeah, I feel

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 3>like that sometimes, believe it or not. And this is

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 3>a little known fact about me. I can be kind

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 3>of a loner. And sometimes our friends are like, u

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>U up, she's going there, she's going to Mia, She's

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>going Mia. It's just I can get like scared commitment

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 3>and I can be alone and I can battle those

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 3>kinds of feelings. And not that I'm like, oh, I'm

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>such a I'm such a recruit, but I do have

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 3>to be with music, and I do have to be

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 3>the doing the art of it and understanding the voice

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 3>always and understanding the changes of my voice and DEA's

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the deepening that's happening. And I have to I have

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 3>to learn music all the time, and if I don't,

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm just not myself. And and some may call that selfish.

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I call that being true to living out your truth.

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You are living out your truth and you're doing it

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>beautifully and you get more beautiful every day.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.400

<v Speaker 3>that there, sat wrinkle. Oh no, thanks for falling.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing.

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't you feel that as you grow, as you mature,

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>as you learn to accept yourself. I feel, at least

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>for myself, I feel more beautiful than I did when

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 1>I was modeling and weighed fifty pounds less in my twenties.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I feel more confident. I feel like I

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 3>care more about what I think of myself than I

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 3>do about what others.

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for spending all this time with us

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and for sharing your heart.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk.

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>About your before we go your charity, because the whole

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>reason I do love someone with Delilah this podcast is

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to encourage people, even if they're Broadway stars, even if

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been in TV shows, even if they weren't

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 1>nominated for Tony's and Grammys and awards, even if they

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't had the level of success that you have enjoyed.

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Everybody can change the world for good.

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>And I know you have an organization, a foundation.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>That changes the world for good so that other people

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>who were gifted with the talents and the passions to

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 1>be in the arts can pursue that. Tell me a

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit about that and how people can find out more.

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 3>First of alf, thank you for what you do. I

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>want to do the same. Ten years ago in my

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.439
<v Speaker 3>hometown of Broken Arrow, they opened a theater. We never

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 3>had anything like a performing arts center, and we have

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the state of the art theater, and they contacted me

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 3>and told me that they were going to name the

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 3>theater the Christian CHANNELI theater, and I always had a

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 3>heart attack because I thought, I'm not old enough to

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 3>have anything that named after me, and they think you are.

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I have people send me pictures of their pet pigs

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>named after me, so you know, I would take a theater,

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm happy with the little pet pigs.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely absolutely. And then when I finally got over myself,

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what am I going to do with

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 3>that name on that building something. I'm not going to

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 3>just let it sit there. I'm going to back it.

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to do something. So it started out with

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I gave a yearly masterclass to high school and college

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 3>students that would I would pick five each and I

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 3>would give master classes. And then it evolved into the

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Christian Channel with Broadway boot Camp and many kids all

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 3>over the nation audition and I can only choose fifty.

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 3>But it happens every year. We just had our fifth

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 3>year Broadway boot Camp at the Tony Awards week, we

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 3>watched the Tonys on television with pizza in my theater.

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 3>We bring down the big screen, we watch it, and

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 3>then the next day we start a very intensive singing, acting, dancing,

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 3>improv writing week with these kids, with teachers that I

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.319
<v Speaker 3>bring in that are much more talented than I am,

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 3>a lot of them famous, a lot of them the

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.719
<v Speaker 3>cohorts of mine. And they then at the end of

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 3>the week we put on a show. And what I

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 3>love more than anything is this week out of the

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 3>whole year, because I see these kids bond, I see

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>them find each other, I see them grow. I see

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 3>that I have lots of time for them to bond

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 3>as well. We have lots of advance parties. We have

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 3>Karaoke Night, we have dresses your favorite Broadway star Knight.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 3>And what's happening now is it's growing so big that

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 3>eventually and this is happening center rather than later. I'm

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 3>currently fundraising for it. I would like to have a school.

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 3>We're building a building next to it which will be

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 3>a creative arts center for the kids in the state

0:12:54.640 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 3>of Oklahoma, which we'll be able to learn arts and crafts, draw,

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 3>graphic design, writing, and it will be obviously geared towards

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 3>kids in my home state that can't afford it, and

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 3>that will also be fed dinner. So that is something

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 3>that is a sidebar to the foundation, the Christian Channel

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 3>with Arts and Education Foundation, which I encourage people to

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 3>look up. You can also look up the Broken Era

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Performing Arts Center. You can look up Christon Child at

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Broadway boot Camp, and you can find all the information

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 3>on my website as well. And if there's anybody out

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 3>there listening that as a child or a relative that

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 3>wants to audition, auditions are in February and they can

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 3>be done in person in Broken Era, Oklahoma, or they

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 3>can be done by video. And I promise, I swear

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that they will leave life. I have had a life

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 3>changing experience.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:52.680
