"Idina Menzel Live: Barefoot At The Symphony" features Tony® Award-winning Broadway star ("Rent" and "Wicked"), television actress (“Glee”) and recording artist Idina Menzel, with an orchestra masterfully led by legendary composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch, filmed at The Royal Conservatory’s beautiful Koerner Hall in Toronto, Canada.
Recently called the “Streisand of her generation” by The Denver Post, the singer has captivated audiences at sold-out concerts across the country. This show reflects all of her musical and life influences.
Menzel performs a charming duet (and romantic dance) with her husband, Taye Diggs, of Rogers and Hart’s “Where or When,” as well as a touching rendition of “The Way We Were.” There is also a poignant version of “No Day But Today” from "Rent," with the audience singing along on the chorus at the end of the song, and a spectacular version of “Defying Gravity” from "Wicked."
