About this event
Idina Menzel is the Tony Award-winning, powerhouse multi-hyphenate: singer, actress in film and TV, songwriter, major Broadway star, and philanthropist. Menzel was among the recipients of the 2023 National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists and arts patrons by the federal government. She rose to fame in the popular Broadway musical Rent, and her career took off when she won a Tony Award for her role as 'Elphaba,' the Wicked Witch of the West, in the smash musical Wicked. Her voice can be heard as 'Elsa' in Disney's Oscar winning Frozen, the second highest grossing animated films of all time. The film's song “Let It Go,“ voiced by Menzel, became an instant international phenomenon, winning the Oscar for Best Original Song – where Menzel performed it at the ceremony – and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Menzel last appeared at the Gallo Center on June 5, 2012, where she was introduced to Modesto's Lindsay Pearce, who would go on to be one of Menzel's successors as Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. We are thrilled to welcome her back to the Center as our 26/27 Season Opener! Click here to purchase tickets!
