Tony Award-winning actress and singing sensation Idina Menzel will be performing her diverse repertoire of classic pop, musical theater favorites (including hits from WICKED and RENT) as well as songs from her album, “I Stand” when she makes her Palm Beach debut. Ms. Menzel broke out as a star in the original 1996 Broadway cast of RENT, won the Best Actress Tony Award for her starring role in the hit musical WICKED, and has been seen in movies including Disney’s “Enchanted” and television shows including the smash FOX hit series “Glee”, where her recurring role has won her praise and legions of fans.
Last year, Ms. Menzel concluded a national tour promoting her album, “I Stand”. A skillful songwriter, she writes and performs her own music. She released the Glen Ballard-produced album for her record label, Warner Bros. Records, and played to sold out houses around the United States. She also performed her show in New York as part of the MasterCard Soundstage series, which aired on PBS. PBS also aired the concert version of CHESS: The Musical, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall where she shared the stage with Josh Groban.
On film, Ms. Menzel appeared opposite Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams in Disney’s hit, “Enchanted”, directed by Kevin Lima. Prior to that, Ms. Menzel was seen in director Chris Columbus’ film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning musical RENT, in which she reprised her role as Maureen. This was on the heels of her co-starring role in Robert Towne’s “Ask the Dust”, opposite Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell.
Idina Menzel wil be at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Florida on Friday December 17, 2010.
