Known to Broadway audiences as the brave Elphaba from Wicked and Rent's spirited, no-holds-barred Maureen, and now, thanks to the Frozen anthem "Let It Go," to millions of children and their families around the world as Queen Elsa, Idina Menzel is no stranger to playing strong women. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman, Menzel partnered with DC Comics to provide listeners with a Spotify playlist of power tracks, featuring hits from female icons, such as Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, and India.Arie.
Menzel earned her first Tony nomination as Maureen in the Pulitzer Prize winner "Rent," and won the award for her performance as Elphaba in "Wicked." Other notable projects include "Glee" and Disney's "Enchanted." She embarked on a worldwide tour in 2015 that included Asia, UK and North America. In addition to cast albums, Menzel's prolific recording career includes the solo albums "I Stand," "Here" and "Still I Can't Be Still."
Her first-ever Christmas album "Holiday Wishes," released October 2014 on Warner Bros. Records, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart, broke into the top 10 on Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and received rave reviews. Menzel was most recently seen on Broadway as Elizabeth in the original production "If/Then," for which she earned her third Tony nomination. Menzel also sang the National Anthem at SUPER BOWL XLIX, which set the record for the most-watched show in U.S. history.
