The Premiere Idina Menzel Resource
Idina Menzel has been pretty busy promoting her new clothing line, Encore by Idina. She spoke with PEOPLE, stopped by The Kelly Clarkson Show and Hoda and Jenna this past week and also went live on QVC’s Instagram as well as a pop-up appearance on QVC. I created a Youtube playlist with those videos, so you can catch up here:
“We’ve Got Tonight (Live)” by Idina Menzel and Charles Kelley is available now as part of the release of the Kenny Rogers concert tribute, “Kenny Rogers: All In For The Gambler – All-Star Concert Celebration”. The concert was filmed way back in 2017 and finally aired on CBS in September 2021. The CD/DVD is available on Amazon and the song is available on streaming platforms, including Apple Music. I absolutely loved this performance and I’m so glad it’s finally available!
Idina Menzel is one of the hosts of a new installment of the Youtube series, “Recipe for Change”. The special, called “Recipe for Change: Standing Up to Antisemitism”, celebrates the breadth of the Jewish experience, including food and culture, and discusses the recent and historic acts of hate and violence against the Jewish community, featuring conversations about how we can raise awareness and build allyship around Antisemitism.
Ilana Glazer & Moshe Kasher also host and they are joined by Skylar Astin, Michael Ian Black, Rachel Bloom, Rabbi Sharon Brous, Tommy Dorfman, Alex Edelman, Hannah Einbinder, Jordan Firstman, Lori Gottlieb, Bryan Greenberg, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, Hari Nef, Josh Peck, Zac Posen, Ruth Reichl, Rachel Sumekh, and Michael Zegen for some amazing meals and timely chat. Together they celebrate their Jewish heritage, identity, & culture, and discuss the rise of antisemitism and its effects on the Jewish community.
Idina Menzel participated in the “Save Ukraine — #StopWar” worldwide telethon with this message of support! Donate to the cause, watch the telethon and get more info here.
As we know, “Dream Girl” from Cinderella is one of 15 songs on the Academy Awards “Best Original Song” shortlist! Idina Menzel and her co-writer, Laura Veltz, participated in a Gold Derby roundtable featuring songwriters on the Academy Awards “Best Original Song” shortlist last night! First they had a solo Q&A moderated by Rob Licuria and then they participated in a group conversation at the end. Other featured songwriters were: Ron Mael and Russell Mael (‘Annette’), Nicholai Baxter (‘CODA’), Taura Stinson (‘Don’t Look Up’), Diane Warren (‘Four Good Days’) and Jamie Hartman (‘Respect’).
