It’s been announced that Idina will be headlining the annual Weill Cornell Cabaret Benefit on October 13th. The benefit raises funds for the New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. It is a black tie event and tickets start at $2,000! If you would like to attend and support the hospital, call Jessica at (212) 921-9070 x 14. Assuming photos are released from the event, we will put them up in the gallery as soon as possible.

Also announced is confirmation of an odd little rumor that has been floating around Idina’s Wiki page for many months, seemingly without reason. However, today omg! is reporting that Idina has voiced the Queen of Hearts in an Alice in Wonderland-themed episode of children’s animated program Wonder Pets! The episode airs in the US October 15th at 10 am ET/9 am CT on Nickelodeon (double-check your local listings).

Idina just added another concert to her symphony tour! She’ll be joining the St. Louis Symphony on January 23, 2011. They’ve already launched fan club presales, so head over to the My Account section of IdinaMenzel.com to purchase! Public on sale begins September 27.

Oh and here’s a clip promoting Season 41 of Sesame Street. Idina and Taye show up about halfway through!

Due to a scheduling conflict with the Count Basie Theatre Foundation and New Jersey Symphony, Idina’s upcoming concert at Red Bank, NJ’s Count Basie Theatre has been rescheduled for February 3, 2011 at 8:00 pm ET. All tickets dated October 12, 2010 will be honored on the new date.

If you cannot attend on the new date, they request you call the box office at (732) 842-9000 by Friday, December 31 for a refund. If this new date is now agreeable for you and you’d like to purchase tickets, simply click their logo below.

Note: VIP packages that include meet & greets are available for purchase, as part of a fundraiser for the theater. Information is available at the above link.

By the way, limited tickets are still available for the three (3!) concerts Idina’s doing this weekend in Cincinnati with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Click here for tickets. She’s done quite a bit of local press for these shows, which I will collect and post when I do the news update to include photos from the concerts after this weekend. If you’d like to read them now, head on over to our Twitter, because all the links are there! Also, here’s a cute little video she made for the CSO and everyone who will be in attendance (which includes me, so if you see me, feel free to come say hi!).
