No wonder Liz/Beth needs to live a double life! Between starring on Broadway in If/Then, recording a holiday album and voicing a Disney princess, Idina Menzel has had a crazy year. Over the weekend, the Tony winner shared just a glimpse of what it takes to be a blazing supernova. Check out the videos below, capturing Menzel on the set of her album promo, bringing Frozen to the Great White Way, driving around Manhattan, getting a makeup job by her son (see left) and more!
On the Set of Holiday Wishes
She’s singing Yuletide tunes, she’s in a popup book and more! The holiday season is full of surprises for her and her son Walker every year, and she’s learning a lot. Like don’t buy an expensive crystal ornament if your son likes to throw things on the ground. We know what album we’ll be decorating our tree to this year!
Frozen on Broadway?!
Sort of. In a post-show auction to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Menzel had four Elsa hopefuls join her on stage to perform the Oscar-winning anthem, “Let It Go.” Listen as they belt it out, and take special note of their outfits: How did they all know to wear that Elsa shade of blue?!
A Day in the Life
To celebrate hitting one million Facebook fans, Menzel shared a day in the life, from waking up with her Elsa doll to a Sunday matinee of If/Then to home sweet home. Here are just some of the secrets to her success: keeping makeup on overnight, drive yourself as your driver takes the backseat and always have a sweet potato on hand in your dressing room. Oh, and don’t run over fans as you leave the stage door. Take a look at the video, which includes a cameo from Broadway.com fave James Snyder, who, as Menzel herself says, “has a successful vlog.” We happen to agree.
