I’m sure a lot of you have been wondering why Idina-Here has been so inactive lately — I just wanted to assure everyone that I’m still here and attempting to get things straight in my own life while still trying to keep myself updated on Idina-happenings. Since I finally have some down-time today (since it’s my Birthday!), I wanted to try to get some stuff posted for all of you guys to look at/enjoy!

First, as many of you know, Idina is about to wrap up her spring Tour tomorrow night in New York City, which will be the special performance recorded for PBS (to be aired on a future date.) Great feedback has been reported back from her concerts over the past 2 weeks, and various accounts and fan pictures can be seen on the So Beautiful Fan Forum, as well as the Official Idina Menzel Message Board. To those people who have sent me fan pictures, those will be added shortly, as I get them organized and re-labeled. If anyone else would like their fan images put in the Idina-Here Gallery, feel free to e-mail me.

Also, it should be repeated that this site DOES NOT post full bootleg recordings for download — on the occasion that some do come my way, however, I have been known to post snipets that people might enjoy. We will see if those updates come in the future.

Idina has also posted a few BLOG update videos for fans (sorry these are being posted so late), but I thought I’d add them on here for everyone.

Posted today on Idina’s official site:

“We are excited to announce that Idina will be doing her very first television special!

Another concert has been added to Idina’s promotional tour schedule for “I Stand” — this time, she’s hitting the West Coast! The event will take place at Humphrey’s on June 20, 2008, and tickets will go on sale this coming Saturday! The venue holds approx. 1,400, which means this is a substantially larger gig than the previously announced concerts. So that means more fans will get the chance to go!

Tickets will be available to purchase from Humphrey’s official site. So if you can make this event, don’t miss out!

[ps. sadly, I won’t be able to make this because of a set-in-stone-trip to Europe this summer. haha, what is Europe compared to Idina?!? Hopefully, more will be scheduled soon.]

Information regarding Idina’s upcoming PBS Soundstage performance has been released. 1067litefm.com has announced a chance to win tickets to the special concert, as well as further info.

New York’s own Idina Menzel will be taping an exclusive up close and intimate performance for PBS Sound Stage on April 14th at Rose Hall in New York City. The Broadway superstar, now a successful recording artist, will have some very special guests including the one and only Josh Groban.

106.7 Lite FM and Toyota want to send you and a friend to join Idina and her special guests at this very private taping.

If you are in the NYC area, don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime chance to see Idina film this exclusive performance!

After a very long night, I finally finished capping Idina’s parts on the new Enchanted DVD! If you haven’t seen the film yet, PLEASE BE WARNED: the captures DO CONTAIN SPOILERS. If you don’t want to know parts of the ending, please don’t go through them. In all, I’ve added 238 HQ screencaps to the Gallery in the following albums: Feature Film (x203), Deleted Scenes (x17), and Bloopers (x18). You can also access the main Enchanted Gallery by clicking below.

I got this confirmed by Idina’s management, and it’s now been officially confirmed by IdinaMenzel.com — Idina will be performing a concert on April 14th at the Rose Hall Theatre in New York City, which will be recorded and broadcast on U.S. television channel, PBS, for the ‘PBS Soundstage’ series. Tickets are NOT available to purchase, but will hopefully open up to a handful of fans through Idina’s official site, so keep an eye out by checking back. The event is “invite-only”, but Idina DOES want her fans to be there! So she is making sure those in the area will have a chance to attend. Should be pretty incredible, and hopefully many of you will get the chance!
