As we know, “Dream Girl” from Cinderella is one of 15 songs on the Academy Awards “Best Original Song” shortlist! Idina Menzel and her co-writer, Laura Veltz, participated in a Gold Derby roundtable featuring songwriters on the Academy Awards “Best Original Song” shortlist last night! First they had a solo Q&A moderated by Rob Licuria and then they participated in a group conversation at the end. Other featured songwriters were: Ron Mael and Russell Mael (‘Annette’), Nicholai Baxter (‘CODA’), Taura Stinson (‘Don’t Look Up’), Diane Warren (‘Four Good Days’) and Jamie Hartman (‘Respect’).

Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth reunited at last night’s “The Tony Awards Present: Broadway’s Back!” event! The duo performed a very moving rendition of WICKED’s “For Good” as part of a segment featuring the best of Broadway duets. Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal followed with their own performance of “What You Own” from another musical you may know, RENT!

I’ve added photos of Idina performing as well as backstage to the gallery:

Idina Menzel performed on the finale of “America’s Got Talent” Wednesday night! She performed “Dream Girl”, which you can watch above and “Defying Gravity”, which you can watch below! Idina performed “Defying Gravity” with two of the season’s finalists, Jimmie Herrod and Northwell Health Nurse Choir. It was so amazing to see Idina back on stage performing, it’s been so long! I loved both performances but watching Idina unleash her inner rockstar during “Dream Girl” won the night for me.
