Idina Menzel, the Tony award-winning Broadway actress from the smash hit musical “Wicked,” is featured on the soundtrack for the newly released film “Beowulf,” which is now in theatres, according to an article posted Wednesday, Nov. 21 at BroadwayWorld.com.
The song, “A Hero Comes Home,” was produced by Glen Ballard and the film - based on the classic novel that tells the story of the mighty warrior Beowulf and his fight with the demon Grendel – was directed by Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis.
