Idina Menzel
Thurs 6th October

Idina Menzel, the Tony Award winning Broadway star of Wicked, RENT and Glee, will perform her acclaimed symphony concert for the first time outside of the US on Thursday 6 October 2011 for one night only at the Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra under the baton of the legendary Broadway composer, Marvin Hamlisch.

Returning to London, where she famously recreated her Tony Award winning performance of Elphaba in the original West End cast of Wicked, Idina will arrive in the UK following a sold out US tour. Backed by a 60 piece orchestra, Idina will perform a diverse repertoire of musical theatre and classic pop favourites for her many British fans.

Idina recently joined the cast of Glee, playing the coach of rival Glee club Vocal Adrenaline. She is best known for originating the role of Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway, for which she received a Tony award for Best Actress in a Musical, and a Drama Desk Award nomination. She subsequently reprised the role in the West End, for which she won a Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers’ Choice Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

Marvin Hamlisch’s life in music is notable for its great versatility as well as its substance. One of only two people to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, as well as the Pulitzer prize, he is one of Broadway’s most celebrated composers and musical directors. Marvin composed the music for Broadway’s They’re Playing Our Song, as well as the groundbreaking A Chorus Line. He has composed over forty motion picture scores, for prolific movies such as The Way We Were, The Sting, and Ordinary People.
