The Premiere Idina Menzel Resource
The Official Idina Menzel YouTube channel has just posted a new video of Idina preparing for last Sunday’s Memorial Day concert in Washington D.C. The video features Idina in rehearsals, traveling to the event, in hair and makeup, and even snapping pictures backstage! Check out the video by clicking on the YouTube link below.
A collection of beautiful high quality pictures, courtesy Joe del Tufo @ Studio M Live, have been posted online from Idina’s April 10th concert at the Baby Grand in Wilmington, DE (Delaware for all the fans out of the States.) The incredible images, all 55 of them, have been uploaded to the Gallery, so click below to check them out!
Idina made an appearance earlier this evening on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of the film, Sex and the City. Looking stunning as ever, some great pictures are beginning to surface. In the Gallery, I’ve added 30 pictures from the event, with (hopefully) more to come! Check them out by clicking on the thumbnails below:
After many years of waiting, I was finally able to catch a re-airing of a very vintage Idina Menzel video: Comedy Central’s “Tompkins Square”, originally broadcast on November 2, 1996, featuring a young Idina while she was still performing in Broadway’s Rent!
The show was a short-lived, stand-up comedy program, hosted by Jeff Ross. Idina guested in the 6th episode as a heckler giving Ross a hard time for his crappy singing voice. As a challenge, he calls her up to sing better. She then rips it up with a rockin’ rendition of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”! Classic Idina – an audio clip many have heard but FEW have seen!
But here it is! It’s been 2 years since the last time it aired, and who knows when it’ll air again. But enjoy it by downloading it in the Video Archive or by going to the IdinaHeredotcom YouTube channel.
NOTE: During the video, take a look at who Idina is sitting next to in the audience — It’s current husband/then-Rent-castmate, Taye Diggs!

PBS MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT VIDEOSYes, this is a day late, but I couldn’t get the videos off my TV until tonight. BUT! As most of you know, Idina appeared last night as a special guest performer at the 2008 Memorial Day Concert in Washington D.C., which aired on U.S. channel, PBS. Idina performed a great medley of standards, and then treated the audience to her original song, “Where Do I Begin?.” Finally, she ended the night with the rest of the performers (including Gladys Knight and Sarah Brightman) singing “God Bless America.” The videos have been added to the Video Archive, as well as the IdinaHeredotcom YouTube channel.
