I’ve been an Idina Menzel fan since I first saw her in the Jonathan Larson musical RENT in 1996. (To be fair, fan is probably an understatement, I even hosted a podcast during the pandemic called This Year’s RENT.) But my personal RENThead history aside, Menzel remains one of the most recognizable voices on Broadway and beyond – from "Let It Go" to her starring role on Glee, to her new musical Redwood, which opened just down the 5 Freeway at the La Jolla Playhouse and heads to Broadway this fall. Her latest release, Drama Queen, is her first album of original songs since 2016. Catch her performing Broadway classics and songs off the new album at the Wiltern.
