REDWOOD Tickets On Sale Now!

Posted on by Heather

Tickets to see Idina Menzel’s new musical, REDWOOD, are on sale now! The show will run from February 13 – March 31, 2024 at the Potiker Theatre in La Jolla, CA. Demand has been so high that the run has already been extended, so get your tickets ASAP!

Idina spoke to Variety about the show back in January when it was announced, but has been pretty tight-lipped about it since. Today she said, “I’m ready to share it with you now. It’s very special to me.”

Idina plays Jesse, a successful businesswoman, mother and wife. She seems to have it all, but inside, her heart is broken. Finding herself at a turning point, Jesse leaves everyone and everything behind, gets in her car and drives… and drives. Thousands of miles later, she hits the ancient forests of Northern California, where a chance meeting and a leap of faith change her life forever. In the presence of the magnificent, towering redwoods, Jesse finds strange and powerful connections, an unexpected sense of community, and a chance at healing.

Disney shared a behind the scenes video of the “Once Upon a Studio” voice actors in the studio! In the short, an all-star ensemble of beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios assemble for a spectacular group photo to mark Disney’s 100th anniversary. The behind the scenes clip above shows Idina Menzel and her Frozen castmates, Kristen Bell and Jonathan Groff recording their lines. Make sure you stick around to the end for another quick sighting of Idina!

If you missed the short’s TV premiere recently, it’s streaming on Disney+ and will also be shown in theaters ahead of the animated film “Wish” in November.

Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth Reunite for Wicked’s 20th Anniversary!

Posted on by Heather

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Wicked is celebrating its 20th Anniversary on October 30! Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth reunited for a new photoshoot and interview with New York Magazine. Their feature is in the October 23 edition of the magazine and is also available to read online on Vulture.com!

There’s something familiar about watching Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth have a conversation — the way that one of them tends to be a bubbling extrovert, the other more introspective but observant and ready with a joke. After a long day in workshops for their respective musical projects, the two of them slip into the familiar language of longtime collaborators, with inside jokes and catch-ups. You may have seen it onstage before, in a musical called Wicked.

Idina has been posting memories on Instagram, and so has Kristin, so make sure you follow them!
