Special Announcement - 'Wicked' / 'Rent' Star to visit Platteville

The Center for the Arts Performing Arts Series University of Wisconsin-Platteville has announced a special performance by Idina Menzel November 3rd at 7:30pm.

Idina Menzel who reached superstardom on Broadway in two career-defining roles, her Tony Award winning performance in the musical blockbuster "Wicked" and her tony nominated performance in "Rent", comes to Platteville for one unforgettable night.

Idina is touring in support of her self-written album “I Stand”. The performance will feature songs from this album as well as numbers from “Wicked” and “Rent.

Idina Menzel's Warner Bros. Records debut album, "I Stand" is a powerful collection of exquisite new songs written by the Tony Award winning actress/singer/songwriter. With Idina’s one-of-a-kind soaring voice and the talent of legendary Grammy winning producer Glen Ballard, the final outcome is an album filled with pop tunes and heartfelt ballads, intimate yet universal stories of life, its challenges, relationships and of course - the subject of love.

Inspired by artists like Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand - triple threats who have conquered stage, film and success as recording artists, Idina Menzel stands poised to embark on her ultimate challenge, a solo artist singing her very own songs.
