You’ll Love Kristin Chenoweth’s Song in This Upcoming Faith-Based Movie
By Movieguide® Contributor
Kristin Chenoweth is known for her amazing musical voice, and now she has the opportunity to sing for a Christian film from Angel Studios. Chenoweth will sing an original song for the film KING OF KINGS which is set to release April 11th.
“I am deeply honored to be part of such a significant project,” Chenoweth said. “The opportunity to contribute musically to a film that explores the life of Jesus Christ is both a professional and personal milestone. I hope my song can touch the hearts of everyone who watches ‘The King of Kings.'”
The song is titled “Live Like That” and brings the same depth and emotion that Chenoweth has a reputation for.
“Kristin’s voice is not just a performance, it’s an experience,” Executive Vice President of Global Theatrical of Angel Studios Brandon Purdie said. “Her involvement elevates ‘THE KING OF KINGS’ to an even higher artistic level, ensuring that the film’s message will linger long after the credits roll.”
Angel Studios Head of Music Ryan Svendsen added, “‘Live Like That’ moved us all to tears the first time we heard it. We cannot wait for the world to hear this beautiful song and the amazing talent of Kristin’s performance, especially when moviegoers experience it in theaters.”
Chenoweth is both a Tony an Emmy winner, for her song “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and her role in “Pushing Daisies.”
The actress and singer opened up about what she felt when she won the Emmy for supporting actress in a comedy.
“I remember sitting there when they called my name and thinking, “You have to speak now; you have to talk. You have to make it to the stage.” When I was walking to the stage, I remember seeing Drew Barrymore, whom I’d always wanted to meet, and I just waved at her like a weirdo. And I saw Christina Applegate, whom I have lots of love and respect for, and I waved at her. And I’m crying. I just couldn’t believe it was happening,” Chenoweth shared.

Movieguide® previously reported:
The upcoming faith-based animated film titled KING OF KINGS just cast Movieguide® Grace Prize winner Oscar Isaac as Jesus Christ, while Forest Whitaker will voice the apostle Peter. The Hollywood Reporter wrote, ‘the faith-based feature is very loosely inspired by “The Life of Our Lord,” a little-known Charles Dickens short story that was published posthumously and that depicted the life and times of Jesus.’ ‘The upcoming animated movie will follow Charles Dickens (Kenneth Branagh) and his son, Walter (Roman Griffin Davis) as they cross paths with Jesus thanks to a multi-dimensional adventure. The project is meant to make the relationships Jesus had with his allies and enemies easy to understand for the younger members of the audience, in a tale that can be enjoyed by the entire family.
