Idina Menzel’s Podcast Recap + Encore Clearance

As we wrap up the year, there were a couple of new interviews that were released to support the release of ‘Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?’. First up was TODAY’s Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist. A small part (about 8 minutes) of the interview aired on TV on Christmas Day but you can listen to the entire interview on the Sunday Sitdown podcast.

Second, she had a really honest conversation with Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast about career trajectory, IVF, co-parenting, ‘Which Way to the Stage?’, the ‘Wicked’ movie and more. I really enjoyed both interviews and highly recommend them! You can watch/listen at the links posted throughout or on my Youtube playlist.

Also, I meant to post last week, but Idina had another Encore by Idina showcase on QVC last week! You can watch those here. A bunch of pieces are on clearance, so it’s a great time to buy at www.EncorebyIdina.com. I have several and love them all! All very soft and cozy which is my personal aesthetic. ;) I recommend sizing down if you aren’t familiar with QVC sizing.

 
It’s been a fun Idina year and I can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store! Happy New Year!

‘Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?’ is out now!!

Idina Menzel’s new documentary, “Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?” is streaming now on Disney+! It’s an absolute must-watch for any fan and I can’t recommend it enough, so please check it out! It really captures her essence and showcases all the reasons we all love her so beautifully.

Over the last week or so, Idina has continued promoting the doc with various appearances and interviews including The Kelly Clarkson Show, radio shows and regional outlets like NY1 and Newsday. I’ve continued to update the Youtube playlist for this promo tour, so you can see all those videos there. Keep checking there moving forward for any last minute releases. She also did a number of print interviews which you can read at each source: PEOPLE, PEOPLE (#2), InStyle, Playbill, BroadwayWorld, HuffPost, TVInsider, Advocate. In the near future I’ll also add them to the Press Archive for future reference.

I also added a bunch of promotional images from the film to the gallery!

Idina Menzel has been busy promoting the December 9 release of ‘Idina Menzel: Which Way To The Stage?’ this week! She also participated in a few events promoting ‘Loud Mouse’ with Cara. I posted all of the ‘Which Way To The Stage?’ interviews in the playlist above. Just click through to Youtube or if you play the video, it should cycle through them all.

As far as ‘Loud Mouse’ promo goes, our favorite duo went live on Instagram after Thanksgiving. I posted that video here. Earlier this week, they participated in The Books You Will Love Event at The Streicker Center in NYC. You can watch that here.

I also added a bunch of pics to the gallery. Check them out below:

Idina Menzel was recently featured on ‘Lifetime and Variety’s Power of Women: The Changemakers Special’. The special featured stories of inspiration, optimism, and hope by connecting celebrity honorees with women working every day to affect positive change. Idina spoke about her foundation, A BroaderWay and helped spotlight ABW’s executive director, Torya Beard, and co-director of graduate programs, Ayodele Casel. The foundation’s ultimate goal is to amplify the power of young women and femmes through the arts. Read more about A BroaderWay and donate here.

I’ve also added a bonus clip that did not air but in it, Idina outlines a wonderful exercise they participated in at camp:

“Loud Mouse” promo has been winding down this week but there were still some great interviews worth sharing. They are all on the “Loud Mouse” Youtube playlist, but also worth posting here. First up was an interview with ABC News, which you can watch above. It was a great interview and Idina also shared that she will be releasing a tour documentary on Disney+! There’s no other info on that just yet, but stay tuned!

Then there was this fun interview which covered a wide range of topics, including “Disenchanted”. Idina had this to say about her big song, which we know is called “Love Power”:

“I have this awesome song. Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken wrote like the song of songs for me. It’s incredible and I hope you like it, it’s pretty awesome.”

 
And then finally, there was this fun interview on The Rachael Ray Show:

 
I don’t think things will stay too quiet because on October 21 (less than 2 weeks away!), “American Murderer” will be released in theaters and then on digital a week later. And then, of course, “Disenchanted” will be released on Thanksgiving! Definitely a lot to look forward to coming up!
