Last fall, she stayed in Auckland, California, when she was not in New York last fall. In the bandaloop studio, she learned to be hung on the end of the rope and dance … and this is a word from a woman that she is not so. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” She shouted.
But if you accurately understand why she did this, everything suddenly understand the meaning.

In the new Broadway musical “Redwood”, the audience was taken to the center of the forest of Sequoia and as if it had entered the trees. This work was inspired by a woman named Julia Butterfly Hill, who lived for more than two years in Sequoia, a thousand -year -old, to protect her logging in the late 1990s. Her effort was successful and the tree was saved.
And now, Menzel and screenwriter and director Tina Lando are trying to boldly execute the ideas that have been warming for over 10 years.
When asked if he was worried that the experiment would fail, Landau said, “Yes, I’m still worried. I don’t know, but this is a project that poses passion for me and for Idina. One of them was just like “Let’s try it.” Just believe what happens will happen. “
“Redwood” is a story in which a mothers of poisoning of work, who fled from everything, get lost in the forest of Sequoia, where life changes forever.

One of the themes of the show is based on the fact that Sequoia, 300 feet, actually supports each other. Landau said, “Their roots are only 5 to 6 feet in the ground. The roots extend to the side, not below, reach the roots of other trees, and are intertwined with them, so all trees are the last. We will support each other. ” 。 “

This musical, which is currently being previewed, is completely new, but it is a familiar stage for menzel. She is performing at the Nada Lander Theater, and the theater is the same theater that opened in Rent in 1996. It was my first professional job, and it was a Broadway show. So I was very lucky. It was a wonderful time in my life. “

It was beautiful. She was 25 years old and gained attention in the performance of “RENT” and was nominated for the Tony Award. “I was able to get a record contract that I had always wanted to get,” said. “I signed a contract with a record label and wanted to make my own album, so I did it, and it came true, but I only sold about three albums, so I was removed from the label. At that time, at that time, my momentum to become an actress nominated for the Tony Prize in the hit musical “Rent” disappeared, and then I had to keep running on the pavement again. It was “the worst” that the situation began to turn around again. “
Menzel, who played the original bad witch Elfaba in Broadway Wicked, won the Tony Award and contributed to changing the show to a mega hit, but it was not always easy to be green. When Elfaba asked her what she gave her, she answered, “My rest is a green ear!”
Idina Menzel will play “Defying Gravity” of “Wicked” in “The Late Show with David Letterman”.
She became an animated princess in Disney’s “Ana and the Snow Queen”, and millions of princesses singing a song that had never left his head. “The relationship between” Let It Go “and me is wonderful,” she said. “This is one of the best events that have happened to me. People always say:” Would you like to get tired of such a song anymore? “Maybe they are lying to you. It may be, but not.
In “Ana and the Snow Queen”, Elsa Menzel, the role of Elsa, performed “Let It Go”.
“If I was a kid, I dreamed of singing such a song there, I wouldn’t have believed it. Or, no, I believed, because I was really cheeky at that time.” So, in fact, I believed in myself and thought, “Absolutely will happen to me.” “
However, the job of writing the next Omagari of Menzel was entrusted to a person who had never written for Broadway’s big star (or others). “Redwood” is the first show of composer Kate Diaz, but you will not know that. Diaz was asked what to write for Idina Menzel, “It’s wonderful. I’ve never written it to others, so it’s the best place to start! I said.
I asked, “Is there a part like” Let’s try this “?”
“In other words, she can usually do it,” said Diaz, “So it’s not.”
And she can do it on demand, as she has revived and demonstrated her classic vocal riffs in the new movie Wyikid.

Her new show provides an environment -friendly method of immersing in the green forest of Sequoia. The newly renovated Neder Render seat is also green. For menzel, it is almost irreblable. “It’s very rare to see it after this long period of time, and while we are talking, they are literally loaded things in the Netherlands. But I don’t forget that feat.
And now she wants to be against gravity again. “But it’s literally a metaphor, whether it’s green and expensive, I think that I have to react or attract in my life and roles.” I laughed. “And I’m a little satisfied with it!”
