To say Idina Menzel made some fans' night at her Hollywood Bowl concert would be an understatement.

During the Tony winning superstar's performance, she pulled a fan out of the audience to sing "Take Me or Leave Me" to her in the aisle- and he totally owned it. Then Menzel proceded to grab another fan, and the three proceeded to the stage to finish the song. Check out the fun clip below!

Hot on the heels of a remarkable year that included performing the smash hit "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen at the 86th annual Academy Awards, a triumphant return to Broadway in the musicalIf/Then, a Best Actress Tony Award nomination and the release of this season's must-have Christmas album Holiday Wishes, superstar Idina Menzel is in the midst of a global tour.

The North American leg of the tour, promoted by Live began July 7 in Richmond, Va. at the Altria Theater, making stops in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Austin, Boston and Chicago before wrapping in Los Angeles on Oct. 3 at the Hollywood Bowl. International dates for the tour will be announced soon.

Tony Award-winning icon Idina Menzel has a diverse career that traverses stage, film, television and music. Menzel's voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney's global box office smash Frozen, in which she sings the film's Oscar-winning song "Let It Go." After Menzel's performance of the multi-platinum song at the 86th annual Academy Awards, she made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting.

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 roles include Rachel Berry's mother, Shelby Corcoran, on the hit television show Glee as well as starring opposite Susan Sarandon and Amy Adams in Disney's Enchanted.

Menzel starred in her own PBS special, Barefoot at the Symphony, with an accompanying live album of the same name, and her highly successful international concert tour recently included a sold-out performance at Radio City Music Hall. 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 and is already receiving rave reviews.

Menzel will return to If/Then on tour this fall, for which she earned critical acclaim in New York and her third Tony nomination, and performed "Always Starting Over" from the musical at this year's Tony Awards.
