Menzel is a Tony-Award winning, powerhouse multi-hyphenate: a singer, an actress in film and TV, a songwriter, a Broadway star, and a philanthropist. She rose to fame for her role as Maureen in the popular Broadway musical Rent, and her career took off when she won a Tony Award for her role as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the smash musical Wicked.
Her voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney's Oscar® winning Frozen, the second highest grossing animated films of all time, with more than $1.2 billion in worldwide box office revenue. The film's song "Let It Go", voiced by Menzel, became an instant international phenomenon, winning the Oscar® for Best Original Song-where Menzel performed it at the ceremony-and the Grammy® Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. The track reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Menzel the first artist with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting. Menzel received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award at Billboard's annual Women in Music event in 2014 and performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLIX.
A skillful songwriter, Menzel's prolific recording career includes multiple cast albums and the solo albums: Still I Can't Be Still, Here, I Stand and idina, which landed in the Top 30 on Billboard's Top 200 charts upon its release in 2016. She's released 2 holiday-themed albums, Holiday Wishes, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart and gave Menzel a Top 10 album on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and its 2019 follow-up, Christmas: A Season of Love featuring duets with Ariana Grande, Billy Porter, Josh Gad and Idina's husband, Aaron Lohr.
This past fall, Menzel released her electrifying dance project Drama Queen via BMG. The project is a departure from what she's released in the past, as Menzel showcases her powerhouse vocals through disco-infused beats and soaring anthems. Idina worked with award-winning collaborators including Nile Rodgers (Chic, Diana Ross, Beyonce), Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Sir Nolan (Shawn Mendes, Carly Rae Jepsen), Jim Eliot (Elie Goulding, Kylie Minogue) and more.
Menzel has also released two children's picture books alongside her sister, Cara Mentzel, called "Loud Mouse," and "Proud Mouse" via Disney Publishing Worldwide. Both books center around self-acceptance and being true to yourself.
A great singer, performing great songs. Excellent audience engagement.
This is one of the best concerts I've been to in years. Idina's voice was amazing, she even sang one song without the mic! She is an engaging and funny person and her warmth came out with everyone, her banter with the crowd was very entertaining. All the big hits were on display.
Great songs, nice audience participation, a little arrogant at times...still worthwhile...
Idina Menzel could not have been any better. Her voice was powerful and beautiful. She sang a variety of songs and the show was a perfect length. Her humour was great as it engaged the audience. If she had a performance the next day I would have gone again. All I can say is WOW!! The orchestra was the best one I have heard. Thank you Idina for an amazing performance.
Idina Menzel's concert was unforgettable! From the opening note of Defying Gravity to the last note of Tomorrow, she has me in tears with her beautiful voice. The songs were absolutely astounding! Idina was also incredibly laid back, inviting various members of the audience to sing along, and singing Let It Go with a children's choir handpicked from the audience. She was absolutely wonderful!
The whole show was unforgettable!! Idina was humble, professional and extremely talented! If I get the chance to see her live in concert again I would definitely purchase tickets! I enjoyed every moment! The acoustics in the Sony centre was amazing! I definitely enjoyed the concert and am thankful for the experience!
I have been seeing Idina live from Broadway to shows for over 19 years now. She NEVER disappoints and just gets better and better.
I was blown away as not really knowing Idina's history that well. She never stops and is so natural and a voice that's a dream !!
The four hour drive to the concert was totally worth it. Idina sang her heart out and got multiple standing ovations. What a voice! And she was also very funny and engaging with the audience. Everyone was raving about the show on the way out. Two straight hours of hits from Rent and Wicked and A Chorus Line ... just to mention a few. If you like Broadway you would love this show.
Amazing. Idina does not dissapoint. She keep the show fresh and when she pulls people from the audience you love her even more for it.
Idina is amazing. Can't wait until she comes back!!! Beyond awesome
My dream come true of seeing Idina Menzel perform live! She was gorgeous, charming, funny and so personable!!! Her voice is pure perfection and I had the best time I could have at a concert. I would travel back to Vancouver again and again and again just to see her!!!!
Excellent. Not disappointed. Great. Wonderful. How much more can i say??????
Idina did not disappoint! Such a great show from a fantastic performer.
Idina Menzel put on such an entertaining show! She's funny, relaxed, down-to-earth, and insanely talented. She has such a strong and versatile voice. I am convinced she could sing anything. She has a voice and performance that appeals to all ages. This was an event that will never be forgotten! Everyone should see this incredible woman!
The show was amazing! She was funny, awesome and just plain awesome. The theatre was beautiful and the prices were great! Can't stop raving about it! She was late by a half hour though...
