Menzel Tour Gets Reviewed

Idina Menzel has taken her singing talent that made her famous as Elphaba in Wicked to stage, and her performance is already attracting attention.  She has begun the tour of her new album, I Stand, and fans are getting to see a whole new side of Menzel. In her concert, Menzel sang many great ballads and even took time to answer questions from fans on stage.  The reviewer from the New York Times compared her to Diana Ross with more power. She finished her concert with a song from Wicked, “Defying Gravity.”

Menzel won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Elphaba in Wicked.  Wicked is set in Oz in the years before Dorothy and Toto drop in.  Glinda is not yet labeled good, and Elphaba is not yet wicked.  The two young witches head to magic school, but Elphaba isn’t as popular because of her green skin.  She tries to do the right thing, but a series of events go awry and she is soon seen as an evil force by those she once considered her friends. This award-winning musical captivates audiences where ever it lands. Don’t miss your chance to see it near you and get your Wicked tickets from StubHub.com.
