Kristin Chenoweth to Perform National Anthem Before Game 7 of NBA Finals


An Oklahoma native, Chenoweth will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers game Sunday night, June 22.

She teased the appearance on social media Saturday, revealing — while wearing Thunder gear — that she was in Oklahoma City, then said she better “start warming up” and sang the first few notes of the national anthem. Chenoweth’s Thunder fandom has been no secret since the franchise’s early years, though she also has professed at times to liking the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks as well. Chenoweth won a Tony Award in 1999 for best leading actress in a musical for her role in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
