In case you’ve forgotten why the world fell in love with her in the first place, above we bring you ten reasons to love Broadway legend, Adele Dazeem, er sorry, Idina Menzel. (Photo: WENN)
Idina has humble beginnings—her career wasn’t just handed to her. Before she was one of Broadway’s most beloved stars, she was getting by as a wedding and Bar Mitzvah singer. (Photo: Instagram)
She IS that girl. Idina has created some of the most beloved roles in musical theatre, including “Maureen” in Rent and the original green girl, Elphaba from “Wicked.” No Talk about a Broadway legend! (Photo: Release)
So you’ve watched your Blu-ray of Frozen dozens of times and have memorized every single word of “Let It Go”? You’ve got Idina Menzel to thank for that. Yes—she plays the vivacious magical queen Elsa. (Photo: Release)
Menzel is a woman of many mediums. You don’t have to travel all the way to New York City to see this diva in action. In recent years she’s appeared regularly on TV and movies too—including “Glee” and “Enchanted.” (Photo: Twitter)
She keeps her fans in the loop. Idina frequently posts to her official social media accounts about her day-to-day happenings. We sure love a star that cares for their fans! (Photo: Instagram)
When Idina isn’t treading the boards, she is working on “A Broader Way”, a charity that she co-founded back in 2010 dedicated to offer girls from urban communities an outlet for self-expression and creativity through arts-centered programs. (Photo: Instagram)
Idina identifies herself as a feminist, saying “I love that I play all of these strong women. But they’re not just strong— they’re women who have a really deep vulnerability and need to go through a journey in order to harness their power.” (Photo: WENN)
She’s forgiving. I mean, not everyone would be so cool if one of the most recognizable actor in the world butchered their name in front of Hollywood’s elite on one of the most important events in the industry. (Photo WENN)
