It's not just a track on her brand new album! Tony winner Idina Menzel took to Twitter on September 23 to announce that she is engaged to Aaron Lohr. The news follows Menzel's self-titled record release and filming for her Beaches remake. "As if this week couldn't get any better I have wonderful news," Menzel tweeted. "My man and I are engaged! We are so happy. It's a beautiful time."
Menzel and Lohr bought a house together last August; the Los Angeles Times reported that they splashed out $2.675 million on a gorgeous 4,708-square-foot Mediterranean-style home in Encino. The pair also shared some racy scenes in the Public Theater's 2005 production See What I Wanna See and appeared together in the 2005 film version of the Tony-winning musical Rent. Menzel has a son with her ex-husband, fellow Rent star Taye Diggs.
Menzel soared to stage fame as Maureen in the original stage version Rent. She garnered a 1996 Tony nomination for that role and won a 2004 Tony for her performance as Elphaba in Wicked. Her screen roles include Enchanted, Kissing Jessica Stein, the TV hit Glee and the voice of Elsa in Disney's wildly popular Frozen. Menzel returned to Broadway in 2014 as the star of If/Then and earned a Tony nomination for her performance. Lohr’s off-Broadway credits include Bare: A Pop Opera and Radiant Baby. In addition to Rent, his film credits include Newsies and The Mighty Ducks films.
