WICKED is flying high at the Broadway box office. The long-running musical has hit $1 billion faster than any other show in Broadway history, surpassing THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at the Broadway box office.

While Idina Menzel does have quite the Broadway career under her belt, there's no question that she became a bonafide star once she donned the black hat in WICKED. Ever since her departure from the show, fans have been waiting for her to make her triumphant return to OZ.

This weekend, Idina Menzel's A BroaderWay Foundation hosted the 'Idina Menzel and Friends' karaoke event to raise funds for the star's charitable foundation for girls. One of the 'friends' promised at the event was Menzel's former Wicked co-star and Tony Award winner, Norbert Leo Butz!

Today's guest is Teale Dvornik. Teale has been a Broadway dresser for a little over two years. During that time she found a home at the hit Disney show ALADDIN, dressed the world famous Rockettes in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and worked backstage at Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein during New York Fashion Week.
