‘Wicked’ Actress Lends Voice to Angel Studio’s Animated ‘The King of Kings’

Fresh from her much-celebrated cameo in Universal’s big screen adaptation of “Wicked,” Kristen Chenoweth is set to lend her vocals — and songwriting skills — to an altogether different movie.

The Tony and Emmy-winning stage and screen star will sing an original end title song during the closing credits on “The King of Kings,” the upcoming animation based on the life of Jesus Christ from Angel Studios, the distributor of 2023 hit “The Sound of Freedom.”

The song “Live Like That,” described as a sharing a “story of yearning for a childlike faith,” has also been co-written by Chenoweth, alongside Kellys Collins, Tim Nichols, Matt Wynn and was produced by Keith Thomas.

Set to premiere in U.S. theaters on April 11 and inspired by Charles Dickens’ book “The Life of Our Lord,” “The King of Kings” is billed as a contemporary telling of the life of Jesus, combining Dickens’ narrative with a journey of faith, seen through the eyes of a child.

The film arrives in theaters on April 11.
