Today marks the release of Idina Menzel Live: Barefoot at the Symphony. It was filmed in November 2011 in Toronto but begins airing on PBS stations around the country March 3. The concert also features Menzel's husband, Taye Diggs, and composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch.
Recently, Idina has been making television appearances to promote this release. She was very funny, forthcoming and relaxed on the sets of The Ellen Degeneres Show and The Talk. The title Live: Barefoot at the Symphony comes from an observation she made. When Idina sang barefoot, she hit the notes and performed better. Has she ever met Joss Stone (who always performs barefoot)?
Even though Idina Menzel has gained fame for winning the much-deserved Tony in Wicked, she is still a Long Island, NY gal at heart. So her performances with the prestigious symphony is blended with her local roots. One example is her version of the Lady Gaga song Poker Face. Idina is quick to mention she sang it previously on the tv show Glee as a duet with Lea Michele.
Check out this wonderful and gorgeous performer soon!
