She is (in my experience, cause i wouldn't speak for everyone) an absolute doll. I met her a couple times after Rent and she was really sweet.

Yeah, she's really great. When I talked to her, she coudn't have been sweeter.

I met her in Pittsburgh. Even though she was sick and it was cold outside, she was a total sweetheart. She posed for pics with everyone who asked.

She was really nice when I met her. A little shy, and she didn't say anything 'cause i guess she was on vocal rest, but i won't hold that against her.

I have not met her, but saw her in Wicked in Chicago and she was excellent!

I also met her after RENT one time, and she was very sweet. Timid, but that's just fine by me! I'm the same way.

When I took my little brother to see Wicked then suprised him by taking him to the stage door Kendra was one of the many who came out. She was so sweet to him taking the time to talk to him, answer questions, pose for a picture, give him a hug, and compliment his great manors. I thought she was a doll. She didn't seem as Enthused with the grown up stage door-ers but he ran and got his picture with her framed and hung it up in his room!

Saw her in the "Wicked" tour in Houston and she was HILARIOUS! I loved every minute of her performance. I honestly prefered both her and Stephanie J. Block's performances to Chenoweth and Menzel's. They were fabulous.

She was very sweet, shy offstage, but sweet here in San Francisco. I met her briefly after a benefit concert the cast did while here. And I agree Quibbler, EXCELLENT. Her understudy, Emily Rozek was great too. She was really sweet at the cast party after the benefit. I think I saw her twice while it was here and Kendra the other few times I saw it.

I have posted before that I found Kendra to be genuine and generous of time and spirit. She and her two understudies, Emily Rozek and Katie Adams, participated in a hurricane relief benefit concert at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas during their run here last fall. It was on a Sunday evening after they had performed a full week of shows. They were a blessing.

I met Kendra two out of the three times I stage doored here in Ft Lauderdale, and she couldn't have been any nicer. As other posters said, she is a little soft spoken, but if you talk to her or ask her a question, she is perfectly willing to talk to you. I remember the second time I met her and I told her how I liked an ad lib she did during "Popular" at the show that day (She lifted up her skirt and said "They have ruffles on them!!!" in reference to her underwear,) and she laughed and said "For my sake, let's hope the Stage Manager liked it!" She also had her dog Eddie with her both times, and signed and took photos with everyone that asked. She was just great!

I met her a couple of times when the tour was in Chicago - each time she was extremely sweet and very willing to take pictures/sign autographs.

Kendra went out a different exit the night I saw it in DC.

I worked with Kendra at Six Flags in St. Louis years ago, and she is the sweetest person. I doubt she has changed much. We later did a show together at a dinner theatre here in St. Louis, and she hadn't changed. She is an amazing actress. I am so happy for her and her success.....

I never got to see Kendra but I always wanted to...I was really hoping that she'd come to Broadway. I heard from a friend that saw her that she did this thing during Popular where she talked about having sparkles in her panties...I almost peed my pants laughing! She sounds hilarious and I'm really disappointed that I'm not gonna get to see her.

Sparkles in her panties?? HA! I guess I missed that one. When I saw her she did add the word "sparkles!" right before "you're gonna grin and bare it..."

Posted: 4/20/06 at 1:35am

Popular, you've seen Wicked?? hahaha....
