Idina Menzel is a powerhouse of talent: a singer, an actor 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 and Frozen 2, the highest-grossing animated franchise of all time, with more than $2.6 billion in combined 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 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’s rich rendition of “Into the Unknown” from Frozen 2 earned its own nomination. She graced the Oscar stage twice, performing the nominated songs from both movies and sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLIX. She continues to play to sold-out audiences all over the world.

Menzel recently completed filming Sony’s feminist update of the classic Cinderella, opposite Camila Cabello. Directed by Kay Cannon, this modern retelling focuses on the women of the kingdom breaking free of their predetermined paths to find their true spirit, all with fantastic recognizable songs and a showstopping number written and performed by Menzel. Menzel will next shoot the highly anticipated Enchanted sequel for Disney +, Disenchanted, in which she will reprise her role as ‘Nancy’ alongside Amy Adams and James Marsden. Menzel is writing a children’s book with her sister, Cara, that will be published by Disney. Additionally, Menzel and her partners at IDeal are finishing a documentary following Menzel on the road to Madison Square Garden

Menzel concluded 2019 with a one-two punch: Frozen 2, the follow-up to the immensely successful original, brought Menzel’s Elsa to new territories and even greater box office success. In the Safdie Brothers’ A24 film Uncut Gems, Menzel plays Adam Sandler’s beleaguered wife with sass and humor, joining Eric Bogosian, Lakeith Stanfield, and Kevin Garnett in the stellar ensemble. She additionally released her second compilation of holiday songs, Christmas: A Season of Love, arranged and produced by Ron Fair. In the fall she concluded the west coast run of Joshua Harmon’s SKINTIGHT, a follow up to the off-Broadway production in which Menzel originated the starring role of Jodi, opening to rave reviews at the Roundabout Theatre.

Menzel’s other film credits include Disney’s Enchanted, opposite Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey, and Amy Adams; ‘Maureen’ in Chris Columbus’ film version of Rent and Robert Towne’s Ask the Dust, opposite Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell. On television, Menzel appeared in the recurring role of ‘Shelby Corcoran,’ Rachel’s biological mother, on FOX’s “Glee.” and starred in Lifetime’s remake of Beaches, in which she portrays the role of ‘CC,’ made famous by Bette Midler.

Menzel believes in the responsibility she has to fans far and wide. She starred on Broadway in the original production IF/THEN, for which she earned her third Tony nomination, and like the stars of old Broadway, she and several cast members went on a  nationwide tour. In London, after winning the Tony she premiered the Broadway hit WICKED in the West End and received the Theatregoers Choice Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She also starred in Michael John LaChiusa's musical SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE, directed by Ted Sperling at The Public Theater. Other Off-Broadway credits include the pre-Broadway production of RENT, the Encores production of HAIR, and THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES.

A skillful songwriter, Menzel’s prolific recording career includes multiple cast albums and solo albums: Still I Can’t Be Still, Here, I Stand, and Idina. (WBR). Her first Christmas album, Holiday Wishes, produced by Grammy Award-winner Walter Afanasieff, went gold. Additionally, the album received rave reviews, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Holiday Albums chart, and gave Menzel a Top 10 album on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. Menzel has received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award at Billboard’s annual Women in Music event and recently completed a worldwide tour that included Asia, the UK, and North America.

Menzel is consistently lauded for her strong yet emotional live performances. Accompanied by world-renowned symphonies, Menzel has played to sold-out audiences and demonstrated why she is one of the great performers of her time. Her CD and DVD entitled “Idina Menzel Live: Barefoot at the Symphony,” a live concert with an orchestra led by legendary composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch, filmed at The Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall in Toronto, Canada. The concert also aired nationally on PBS stations. Her highly successful international concert tour has also included sold-out performances at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall.

Philanthropy is also important to Menzel, who co-founded the A BroaderWay Foundation in 2010. The organization is dedicated to offering girls the opportunity to amplify their voices using the arts. The emphasis is on building self-esteem, developing leadership qualities, and striving for personal and social achievement. Menzel was recognized as one of Variety Magazine’s Power of Women honorees for her work with the organization.
