SOUNDSTAGE TOMORROW + CHESS PICS

SOUNDSTAGE TOMORROW + CHESS PICS

Posted on by Erin

Don’t forget! Tomorrow (Thursday, January 15) PBS is airing Idina’s Soundstage concert special, which was filmed at NYC’s Rose Hall last April. Josh Groban and Ravi Coltrane are special guests for some amazing duets. Be sure to double-check both PBS.org and your own on-screen/hard copy TV guides, because every PBS station has the ability to air it when they see fit. Don’t miss it because you didn’t bother to double-check it!

And her official Soundstage page on PBS’s website is now live! Click here to view new photos, see the setlist, and get a sneak peek at the concert with a performance of “Gorgeous.”

Also, contrary to popular belief (and my own report here), this concert is sadly NOT scheduled for a DVD release at this time. Make sure you record it yourself for repeated viewings, and if you have Blu-Ray, you can still head to your local Sears to pick up the “Best of Soundstage” disc that features “Defying Gravity” and “Awake” with Josh Groban.

Continuing with the PBS theme of late, I finally got around to adding the official photos from the London production to the gallery. Click below to view them.

PBS PRESS JUNKET

PBS PRESS JUNKET

Posted on by Erin

There’s a big television press junket going on in LA this week and PBS was the first station to get to present its upcoming season to the critics. Of course we all know that Idina’s Sound Stage concert special is airing next week (head to PBS.org to check what time it’s airing for you!), but don’t forget that Chess in Concert that Idina performed in London last year will be airing this spring on PBS as well. Both of these performances will be released on DVD shortly after airing (and Chess will be on CD as well), just FYI.

My point? Idina was the entertainment for the critics attending PBS’s presentation! She performed songs from Wicked, Rent, and Chess, as well as a few off I Stand. Click below to view the new images.

Also, I wanted to point out that the snail mail address to use when sending Idina fanmail has changed! If you recently sent fanmail to the old address, don’t worry, it will still get to her. Her new fanmail address is:

Idina Menzel Fanmail
215 Park Ave South
Suite 1403
New York, NY 10039

Finally, I’ve added a few new photos to the gallery. I’ll have more new ones coming in the near future and I’ll let you all know when I finish my big project. For now, click the thumbnails below to view a few photos of Idina & Taye out and about in New York last week, and some new [to the gallery] photos from Wicked‘s opening night on Broadway.

KENNEDY CENTER HONORS PERFORMANCE

KENNEDY CENTER HONORS PERFORMANCE

Posted on by Erin

The 31st Annual Kennedy Center Honors aired on national television this evening and I’m happy to say that Idina’s performance of “Don’t Rain on My Parade” certainly lived up to the press’s reports that she was the evening’s highlight. It was absolutely mind-blowing, to say the least. Jill was kind enough to upload Idina’s performance to share with everyone unable to watch it (and for everyone who simply wants to watch it repeatedly).
