Can't Get Enough of Idina Menzel? Let’s Worship the Frozen Diva with These Six Videos

Look, we know you know Idina Menzel. Like us, you have been obsessed with her since way before Frozen took over the world. OK, maybe we’re a weensy bit older than you and (like Andrew Rannells) think of her more as Maureen than Elphie or Lea Michele’s mom or whatever. No matter what your gateway Idina vehicle was, we can all agree that she just made a zillion new fans by blowing the roof off the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre with the unstoppable Frozen song “Let It Go” at the Oscars. So let’s all hold hands and go beyond “Defying Gravity” to introduce everyone to the lady who makes jaws drop while she rocks a fancy frock. We YouTube spiraled for you, so you can sit back and revel in six other times the diva dressed up and did her thing. You’re welcome. P.S. Want to see the goddess in person? You got it.


SINGING AT THE WHITE HOUSE? NO PROB
Menzel, wearing Wicked green, tackles "What I Did for Love" from A Chorus Line accompanied by composer Marvin Hamlisch at the White House about 10 feet from the First Family. (No sweat!)


A VOICE LIKE BUTTAH
Dying is easy, comedy is hard and singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" in front of Barbra Streisand as she is being honored at the Kennedy Center is impossible. Did Menzel pull it off? And how.


THE WORLD'S HER OYSTER
A classic example of Menzel looking gorgeous and delighting a gigantic crowd with her powerful voice. In this case, it was the Chess concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. Man, can that woman hold a note!


GAGA FOR A GLEE STORY
Fabulous gown, full orchestra and a fresh take on a pop hit. Oh, and Menzel shows off her sense of humor by highlighting some of those questionable lyrics. ("Love-glue gunning"?) Eat your heart out, Gaga.


THERE'S ONLY RENT
A vision in blue, Menzel wows with her beautiful rendition of Jonathan Larson's Rent anthem—sharing the essence of the show that transformed Broadway...and launched Menzel's career.


WORLD, MEET WICKED
One of the first times (if not the first time) Menzel sang a Wicked song in public. OK, so she's not dressed up here, but she's glam all the same. Thanks, Idina. You make us so happy, we could melt.
