The Denver Center for the Performing Arts will welcome the start of the IF/THEN tour at The Buell Theatre, beginning October 13 and running through October 25.

IF/THEN is an original Broadway musical written by Tom Kitt (music) and Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics), and directed by Michael Greif, the creative team behind the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, Next to Normal. IF/THEN is a contemporary new musical that follows two distinct storylines in the life of Elizabeth, a city planner who moves back to New York to restart her life in that city of infinite possibilities. When her carefully designed plans collide with the whims of fate, Elizabeth's life splits into two parallel paths. IF/THEN follows both stories simultaneously as this modern woman faces the intersection of choice and chance.

Menzel made her Broadway debut as 'Maureen' in the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winner RENT, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. She followed that with her Tony Award-winning performance as 'Elphaba' in WICKED, which she subsequently brought to London's West End.

Other New York stage work includes SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE (Public), THE WILD PARTY (MTC), and HAIR (Encores!). Menzel's voice can be heard in the Disney animated musical, FROZEN, singing its Oscar nominated song, "Let It Go". She reprised her performance as 'Maureen' in Chris Columbus' film version of RENT, and has appeared in movies as diverse as ENCHANTED and ASK THE DUST.

On television, Menzel had a recurring role over multiple seasons of GLEE and has guest starred in numerous other shows. She starred in her own PBS special, Barefoot at the Symphony, with an accompanying live album of the same name. Menzel's highly successful international concert tour recently included a sold out performance at Carnegie Hall. In addition to cast albums, Menzel's prolific recording career includes solo albums: Barefoot At The Symphony, I Stand, Here, and Still I Can't Be Still.
