Tickets
IDINA MENZEL
Idina Menzel is a powerhouse multi-hyphenate: a singer, an actress in film and TV, a songwriter, a Broadway star and a philanthropist. She rose to fame for her role as Maureen in the popular Broadway musical “Rent,” and her career took off when she won a Tony Award for her role as Elphaba in the smash musical “Wicked.” Her voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney’s Oscar® winning “Frozen,” the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time. The film’s song “Let It Go,” voiced by Menzel, became an instant international phenomenon, winning the Oscar® for Best Original Song – where Menzel performed it at the ceremony – and the Grammy® Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Menzel can currently be seen in the Disney+ documentary “Idina Menzel, Which Way to the Stage?”, Disney’s “Enchanted” sequel, “Enchanted 2: Disenchanted,” alongside Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey and Susan Sarandon; as well as Amazon Studios’ “Cinderella,” for which she wrote and sang the song “Dream Girl.”
ALOE BLACC
In the years since Aloe Blacc’s last album, “Lift Your Spirit,” the global superstar spent time working on an even dearer project: his family. “All Love Everything (Delux),” his latest album, is the singer-songwriter’s first collection of material written as a father, a journey that expanded Blacc’s already heartfelt artistic palette. Raised by Panamanian immigrants in Southern California, Blacc grew up around the sounds of salsa, merengue and cumbia. He initially developed his own taste by throwing himself into hip-hop before trying out his soulful voice to other ends. This year celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the global hit "Wake Me Up," an anthem of our generation, co-written and performed by Aloe Blacc. The track's collaboration with the late Avicii resulted in groundbreaking fusion that broke EDM boundaries. Aloe Blacc is presently writing his next solo album and is expected to drop his first single in Summer 2023.
