A beautiful moment of music that’s worth watching… The video may not look beautiful, but the performance sure is.
At Kristin Chenowith’s concert at the Hollywood Bowl, a random audience member was invited to join her for a performance of “For Good” from Wicked. They hit the jackpot. She was a vocal teacher, and the duet was breathtaking.

At Kristin Chenowith’s concert at the Hollywood Bowl, a random audience member was invited to join her for a performance of “For Good” from Wicked. They hit the jackpot. She was a vocal teacher, and the duet was breathtaking. The video may not look beautiful, but the performance sure is.
Her name is Sarah Horn, and she describes what happened:
“Toward the end of the second half of the performance, Kristin wanders on to the pasarel. She held a mic up to a lady in front of me and asked if she knew the song “For Good.” Nope. I took the chance, as I was directly behind Kristin, to stand up and wave and say, “I know the song! … This is not like me – to jump up and wave my arms like a crazy person and raise my voice at a celebrity. As soon as she turned to look at me, I say right back down… and calmly said, “Hiiiii.” …After this, she moved down the line and asked a guy if he knew the song and bantered with him for a few seconds. Afterwards, she said something about going back to pick me because I was a girl. Then, she invited me up on stage.
I sat there for a moment, stunned. Then the backup singer motioned for me to get up. I shot up out of my chair as my heart leaped up past my throat and started beating in my ears. I don’t really remember what happened between the box and when I first set foot onstage except that there was now a microphone in my hand.”
There are two videos below… one is a better angle (That one is first)… but in case you don’t believe it was a random setup, you can see her being brought up on the stage and having a quick chat in the video below that.
Natiurally, they met and took a photo backstage afterwards…
and naturally, ,this beautiful moment has gone viral. Thank you, internet!
Sarah Continues…
“After the concert, I was swarmed with people who wanted my business card, wanted to take pictures with me, wanted to know if I was an audience plant because it was just too perfect. People came up to me telling me I’d given them goosebumps, made them cry.
Paul Geller, Production Director at both the Hollywood Bowl and the Walt Disney Concert Hall pulled me aside afterward. He said that the production staff is very picky about the quality of performers that they allow on their stage and that what was produced in that song was better than anything they could have planned. He took down my contact information because at some point during the last three songs, he got a phone call from the LA Times wanting to know if I was an audience plant and asked my permission to pass on my contact information for them to speak to me directly, if needed…
…and now my face hurts from smiling but I can’t stop. The experience was so surreal. I know I will wake up thinking it was all a dream but then I’ll see the pictures and the video and realize that it was really real.
On the walk to our car, my father reminded me that he had prayed 11 years ago that I would one day sing with Kristin Chenoweth. I smiled an even larger smile, grasped his arm, and asked him to keep praying impossible prayers because they just might come true.”
