Beloved Tony Award®-winning actress and singer Idina Menzel’s many triumphs include iconic Broadway roles in productions of “Rent” and “Wicked” as well as the legendary voice of Elsa in Disney’s “Frozen.”
Yet one dream goal has evaded her grasp: to headline a concert at the world-famous Madison Square Garden in her hometown of New York City.
Filmmaker Anne McCabe follows Menzel on a national tour over the course of 16 shows as she juggles the challenges of being a working mom with a grueling travel schedule, all preparing to finally realize her dream.
Anne McCabe directed the doc, which will feature footage of Menzel in her most notable stage performances, Rent and Wicked, as well as interviews with family, friends, co-stars and creatives. It will also chronicle her personal experiences with in vitro fertilization.
“We made this documentary
to show firsthand how important it is to pursue your passions
and lean on those around you in times of hardship,”
said Menzel.
“This documentary was a joy to make, and I hope it resonates with my fans and new audiences alike who find themselves balancing motherhood, work and marriage while chasing their own dreams and inspires others to keep pushing forward.”
The first screening (Nov 13 – 12:00pm SVA Theater) will be followed by a Q&A with Anne McCabe, Idina Menzel, Rachel Cohen.
