This live act is their first in 27 years. They are going to play in England and fans of all ages are ecstatic to see them. There is a frenzy [...]

Considered by many a talented actress,  unbeknownst to many, the Tony award winner Idina Menzel (those of you who follow Broadway shows religiously, will undoubtedly recognize her from “Wicked” or “Rent”) is a very talented musician as well.
