Idina Menzel

Tracks Of My Years

Available for 27 days

Another chance to hear Broadway superstar Idina Menzel taking Vernon Kay on a 10-track journey through her life in music, for Tracks Of My Years, first broadcast in 2023. Idina is probably best known for her performance as Elsa in the hit Frozen franchise, but before then she’d already established herself as a Broadway icon. She made her debut on the Great White Way in 1997 in the rock-musical Rent, and in 2003 she performed in the original cast of Wicked. Her performance as Elphaba, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West, garnered critical acclaim, and led her to winning a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. A decade later, her role as Elsa in Frozen made Idina a household name, with her performance of the track Let It Go storming the charts and securing an Oscar for Best Original Song. Alongside her acting career, Idina has had parallel success as a recording artist, releasing seven studio albums.
