VIDEO: SKINTIGHT's Idina Menzel Talks the 'Relief' of Starring in a Straight Play

Earlier today, Broadway favorite Idina Menzel stopped by LIVE With Kelly and Ryan to chat about the play that brought her back to the NYC stage- Roundabout Theatre Company's world premiere of Joshua Harmon's Skintight. "It's a straight play, so I'm not singing in it. It's such a relief to wake up and be like, 'Is [my voice] there?' When I'm in a musical I'm always so worried!"
