Chenoweth was born in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She graduated from Oklahoma City University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in musical theater and a master’s degree in opera performance. She is a member of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. While at OCU, she won the title of “Miss OCU” and went on to win first runner-up in the Miss Oklahoma pageant. She performed at Opryland USA. She won a “most talented up-and-coming singer” award in the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions, which came with a full scholarship to Philadelphia’s Academy of Vocal Arts; she turned down the scholarship when she auditioned and won a part on an off-Broadway show. She also enjoyed watching her boyfriend at the time (professional baseball player Shawn Bryant) pitch.

Chenoweth made her Broadway debut in a production of Molière’s Scapin starring Bill Irwin, followed in the spring of 1997 by the unsuccessful musical Steel Pier by John Kander and Fred Ebb, for which she won a Theatre World award.
