There has been the announcement of three new dates added to her current tour as well, the new dates and locations are March 24th at the Birchmere Music Hall in Alexandria, VA, March 25th at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside/Philadelphia, PA and March 27th at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, DE.

With Idina's voice and the talent of legendary Grammy winning producer Glen Ballard, the final outcome is an album filled with pop tunes and heartfelt ballads-intimate yet universal stories of life, its challenges, relationships and of course - the subject of love.

While working toward her bachelor's degree in drama from New York University, Idina performed with rock bands in downtown clubs in New York City during the week and performed at wedding gigs on the weekend. In the winter of l995, Idina auditioned for the Broadway bound "Rent" and won the part of Maureen, an outspoken bi-sexual performance artist. The role earned Menzel her first Tony nomination and the musical went on to win four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize.

In 2003, Idina originated the role of "the green girl," the misunderstood witch in the hit musical "Wicked" which included her show-stopping performance of the song "Defying Gravity." In 2007, she re-recorded and remixed "Gravity" and the song went on to become a Top 5 hit on the Billboard Dance Chart. Her star turn in "Wicked" won her a Tony Award and huge critical acclaim. Other credits include two Drama Desk nominations for her roles in "The Wild Party" and "See What I Wanna See" at the Public Theatre. Film credits include starring roles in the Disney romantic fable, "Enchanted," "Rent" and Robert Towne's "Ask The Dust."

Idina Menzel, will guest-star on the ABC "Private Practice" series later this season. Her husband celebrated actor Taye Diggs is a star on the ABC drama which makes her appearance a special event!
