Editorial Reviews

Idina Menzel has a diverse career on the stage, in films and television, and in music. The beloved Broadway star, best known for her work in the Broadway musical and film adaption of Rent, her Tony Award-winning performance as Elphaba, the green-faced Wicked Witch of the West in Wicked, and her recurring role in the hit TV series Glee, has spent much of the past two years crisscrossing the country, headlining with dozens of symphony orchestras. This past November, on the second-to-last stop on Menzel s 2011 itinerary, the star recorded her forthcoming PBS special Idina Live: Barefoot at the Symphony. On March 6th, Concord Music Group will release the accompanying DVD to that special.

The special was captured in Toronto at Koerner Hall, a beautifully modernist, acoustically blessed, 1,100-seat space literally carved out of the city s historic Royal Conservatory of Music headquarters. Menzel performs with the 52-piece Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, one of Canada s premiere symphony orchestras, under the direction of guest conductor Marvin Hamlisch (or as Menzel prefers to call him, the legendary Marvin Hamlisch) and her equally accomplished music director and pianist, Rob Mounsey (who has worked with everyone from Paul Simon and Steely Dan to Madonna, Usher and Rihanna).

With the PBS special complete, Menzel plans to go back on tour this summer. She also hopes to return soon to Broadway for "a brand new, original show that I am not allowed to talk about, but really excites me." In addition, Idina s exemplary work continues with A BroaderWay, the foundation she established with husband Taye Diggs in 2010 to help inner-city girls find outlets for self-expression through arts-related programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing concert February 10, 2012
By miss
Format:DVD
I was at the concert and have been waiting for the release of this DVD to relive that wonderful evening. Idina was funny, charming and very entertaining. Her singing was great and the song selection was perfect. What a nice surprise it was when her husband showed up to sing with her. This will be a DVD to watch over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Idina Magnifica March 12, 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I saw her as Elphaba I believed I was seeing one of the greatest performances I've ever seen on Broadway. I really like this performance. Her "reality" as a performer shows through. I am so happy that I now have a recording of this great event that I wish I had been at. I look forward to seeing her again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomonal February 22, 2012
By KendalW
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wasn't at this show but I saw Idina on the same tour in London, UK at the Royal Albert Hall and was lucky enough to meet her before the show. She was nothing short of phenomonal. She probably exceeded it. She will never put a foot wrong in my opinion. Her voice is out of the world, her stories are hilarious, just a true pleasure to watch perform. I'll definitely be booking tickets for her summer tour and I cannot wait to watch this DVD and re-live the magic of my evening through her performance in Canada. A must buy for Idina fans and anyone who knows what true talent is.

I really love this DVD! Idina's a powerhouse on stage. The voice, the commitment, the interaction between her and the audience, faboulous. And Marvin Hamlish doesn't hurt.
