Kristin Chenoweth is taking the long way home. The Tony Award-winning singer and actress announced Wednesday that she'll kick off her first ever concert tour on May 9 in Seattle and it will end June 24 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, the town she grew up in. “I've sung all over the place but I've never committed to a tour because of my schedule,” said the petite beauty with the powerful pipes. “So now I'm finally doing it.” Chenoweth's 19-city North America tour will hit Los Angeles, Denver, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Toronto, New York, Nashville and Atlanta, among other cities. In her hometown, the main 1,500-seat stage at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center will be renamed in her honor. “For me, it will be very emotional,” she said. Mark Frie, the arts center's executive director, said Broken Arrow has been looking for a way to honor Chenoweth since the facility opened its doors three years ago.
