The Premiere Idina Menzel Resource
Today, Idina was presented with a Matrix Award by the New York Women in Communications, Inc., which honors “the extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry.” The entire awards presentation can be viewed here. Her section begins right about the two hour mark with Dana Tyler’s introduction followed by Idina’s speech. Pictures have also been added to the gallery, which can be accessed by clicking on any of the pictures below. Congratulations, Idina!
First, let me just say — Wow! Idina really has the best fans! Thank you to everyone who responded to my tweet last night for web design help! I’m so glad that I can count on others to continue to make this the best fansite possible! A new feature for the site is currently in the works and will hopefully be up and running in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
In other news, Idina has added another show! She will be performing in La Jolla, California at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies on August 27th. This is a benefit, so ticket prices could be steep. No on-sale information is available yet. A link to the website can be found in the sidebar.
Finally, Idina was spotted in last week’s Star magazine on the “Best of the Week” fashion page for her stunning red outfit she wore to the Alzheimer’s Association benefit last week! (Thanks to Julie for the scan. And coincidentally, another former WICKED costar was also in the issue! Visit Megan Hilty Online’s Facebook page for that pic!)
I haven’t even been here a week and already I’m getting plenty of practice doing a little bit of everything around the site thanks to Idina’s busy schedule! Here’s what’s been going on:
Connecticut blog Behind the Curtain published a little article today discussing Idina’s involvement in a production of Summer of ’42 that took place there back in 2000. They also released two previously unseen photos! They’ve been added to the gallery.
Idina played to a sold out audience at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall this past weekend, accompanied by the New York Philharmonic and conducted by Marvin Hamlisch. Photos from this great concert have been added to the gallery; view them by clicking below.
Also, be sure to read the wonderful review that went out on the AP newswire:
As always, if you have photos from Idina’s performances that you’d like to share with other fans by having them added to our gallery, simply contact me.
