If one really hustles, one could catch at least the start of Deborah Cox’s headlining performance at Capital Pride Sunday, June 10, and also a rare concert by the celebrated Broadway performer Kristen Chenoweth down the street at D.A.R. Constitution Hall. And what a gay day that would turn out to be. Chenoweth’s concert is intended to showcase the wide-ranging music of her life and career thus far, which as a child started with gospel and opera but of course includes her Tony-winning time in Wicked and Promises, Promises on Broadway, as well as a guest appearance on Glee. Chenoweth is best known to many for her roles on ABC’s The West Wing and Pushing Daisies and most recently GCB, the funny dramedy about the hijinks of Christian women in Texas that ABC cancelled due to advertiser pressure despite solid ratings. Expect her to make something of that. And of course, she’ll perform from last year’s country-pop album Some Lessons Learned. Sunday, June 10, at 7:30 p.m. D.A.R. Constitution Hall, 1776 D St. NW. Tickets are $45.55 to $138.75. Call 202-628-1776 or visit dar.org/conthall.
