Idina Menzel - July 17, 2015 ‘Frozen’ Superstar Idina Menzel known for singing “Let It Go” is coming to Jones Beach on July 17! T here’s absolutely nothing frozen regarding Idina Menzel’s current hot streak (except, of course, that Disney smash she brought to musical life). The Tony Award-winning actress/singer announced today she’ll be trekking the globe in a 2015 tour, with more than 40 stops in North America alone. The multi-talented performer, who voiced the lead character Elsa in Frozen, has made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting. Menzel earned her first Tony nomination as Maureen in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent, and won the award for her performance as Elphaba in Wicked. Other notable roles include Rachel Berry’s mother, Shelby Corcoran, on the hit television show Glee as well as starring opposite Susan Sarandon and Amy Adams in Disney’s Enchanted. Menzel was born Idina Kim Mentzel in New York. She grew up in Syosset. Her mother, Helene, is a therapist, and her father, Stuart Mentzel, worked as a pajama salesman. She has a younger sister named Cara. Menzel’s family is Jewish; her grandparents emigrated from Russia and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. When Menzel was 15 years old, her parents divorced and she began working as a wedding and bar mitzvah singer, a job which she continued throughout her time at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Menzel, however, did not have a bat mitzvah after she quit Hebrew school. Menzel attended Syosset High School. 1 / 1.

I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S. Beavers – thank you all so much for your help. This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Foreman 3 In Memory Of… Lauren Tuck May 14, 1990 – September 2, 2010 “It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you.

Production Notes
PRODUCTION NOTES With the clock ticking and less than a year until the world premiere of Frozen 2, the filmmakers, artists, songwriters and cast open their doors to cameras for a six-part documentary series to reveal the hard work, heart, and collaboration it takes to create one of the most highly-anticipated films in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ near-century of moviemaking. For the first time, cameras were there to capture an eye-opening - and at times jaw-dropping - view of the challenges and the breakthroughs, the artistry, creativity and the complexity of creating the #1 animated feature of all time. The series follows director/writer/chief creative officer Jennifer Lee, director Chris Buck, producer Peter Del Vecho, songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, actors Kristen Bell (“Anna”), Idina Menzel (“Elsa”), Josh Gad (“Olaf”), Jonathan Groff (“Kristoff”), Sterling K. Brown (“Lieutenant Mattias”), Evan Rachel Wood (“Iduna”) and the talented artists and technicians of Disney Animation as they race against time to finish the film, with both creative breakthroughs and frustrations along the way. The 6-episode docuseries, “Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2,” is produced by Lincoln Square Productions and Walt Disney Animation Studios, is available worldwide exclusively on Disney+, June 26, 2020. In 2013, Walt Disney Animation Studios created Frozen, a feature that went on to become the #1 animated film of all time. Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven became household names. The soundtrack broke records. The song “Let It Go” became an international anthem. Frozen was a cultural phenomenon. When “Frozen” filmmakers Jennifer Lee (writer/director), Chris Buck (director) and Peter Del Vecho (producer) decided they had more story to tell for Elsa and Anna, they knew they needed to make Frozen 2.
