Idina Menzel

Attending my first concert, Idina Menzel was my first live performance to ever attend and experience the music live. Menzel performs a selection of songs from her Broadway career, along with original songs from her various solo albums, and her Pop and Rock covers. The group that performed for Menzel was a local Los Angeles band and they played very well for the choices of songs she sang. The performers that played for Menzel was very impressive and seemed they had no problem playing and following the beat of the singer’s voice. There were times when Menzel would stop singing abruptly and they would stop with her at the same time. When she began to sing again they all played at the same time and didn’t even go off-key when it happened. The…

Have you ever listened to the song “Let it Go” by Idina Menzel, also known as the song featured on the popular Disney Movie, Frozen? Some people would say this song relates to the illustration being analyzed, because of the fact that the picture as well as the song displays a theme of letting things go and not getting held back by what has occurred in the past. Often events that happen in your past can hold you back from opportunities that have yet to come, but in this picture, they are…

Two of Broadway’s most talented voices emerged from the hit musical, “Wicked.” Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth both had been in broadway shows long before but wicked was the one that blew them into stardom. The musical displays numerous singing acts that tell the story of a girl who grew up slightly different from the rest and a stereotypical popular girl that tried to help her gain her confidence. Idina and Kristen’s voices are like no other in the musical because their voices bring our…

Hidden Eggs are not just for Easter – find them year round If you have small children you know that movies are made to be seen over and over. The only thing better than watching an old favorite movie is catching a new tidbit the second, third or fourth time around. That tidbit is known as the “Easter Egg” described as a shot or line of dialogue that clearly references another film. That may be easy enough, but sneaking in a clever little nod that rewards viewers who pay close attention – without…

The co-director, Jennifer Lee, has indeed been innovative in her use of camera techniques, special effects, music, lighting, etc. Jennifer Lee use a mixed of 3D and 2D camera effects to bring the film the way it is. The studio also developed several new tools to generate realistic and believable shots, particularly the heavy and deep snows and its interactions with the characters. The need to create new tools take a serious action of creativity and dedication. The use of special effects such as…

Music can be a very important thing that gives a person identity. I like mostly clean songs, and ones that have an amazing melody and lyrics. I think some songs that define me are Fight Song by Rachel Platten, and Let it Go by Demi Lovato and Idina Menzel. Some songs I like include Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson, Neon Lights by Demi Lovato, Sugar by Maroon 5, Style by Taylor Swift, and 22 by Taylor Swift. The genre of these songs is mostly pop. Some are pop and rock(Style), or a Disney…

The show that begins this upcoming chapter opened in at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on May 28, 2003. It received countless negative reviews and was deemed too much of a special with flaws in the score and plot. It ended up breaking box office records around the world, surpassing $1 billion in total Broadway revenue, and becoming Broadway's second highest grossing show just after The Lion King. Wicked’s success was unlimited and its fan base is huge and committed. The leads of the show,…

with an enchanting and dynamic setting, . . . you believe this place exists and feel its magic,” (Zahed). Frozen also features poignant, humorous, and gripping Broadway tunes, embellished by an impressive Nordic score. Robert and Kristen Anderson-Lopez—“[two] of Broadway’s greatest, funniest composers”— penned songs full of life, throwbacks to the Disney Renaissance. “In Summer” has Olaf, the irrepressible snowman, daydreaming of summer, and he spouts absurd lyrics about his dream: “A drink in…
