In 2013, Kristen Chenoweth picked Sarah Horn from the Hollywood Bowl audience to sing “For Good” from the musical, “Wicked.” Unknowingly, Chenowith had randomly chosen a voice teacher who delivered a flawless performance—a viral moment that skyrocketed her career overnight.
Sarah Horn’s secret to success was two words: Be ready.
How did Sarah “get ready” for the performance of a lifetime? She first saw “Wicked” on Broadway in 2004 and dreamt of one day singing the famed duet with Chenoweth. Taking her voice teacher’s guidance to heart about being prepared, Sarah perfected her part in “For Good” through years of practice. This dedication empowered her to confidently seize the moment on stage with Chenoweth, who exclaimed, ‘Holy crap,’ after Sarah seamlessly harmonized with her.
Since then, Sarah’s life has been a whirlwind of starring roles in acclaimed productions and performances across the globe.
