So let me just start this post off with saying that Idina Menzel is one cool girl! :) And for those of you who do not know, she has the most beautiful voice I think I have ever heard. I am currently obsessed with the new Disney movie Frozen and she plays Elsa. It's absolutely stunning the emotion she brings to the character.
The story line itself is definitely not something familiar with Disney. Here's a link I can share with some of the many reasons why... and I completely agree, it has been nominated as BEST ANIMATED this and that...

In addition, how can you just not love a good Disney movie... whether it be a classic tale as old as time or a new tale you can't help but fall in love with?
What makes it even cooler, is that Frozen is rumored to be going to Broadway and is airing a special Sing-A-Long version in select theaters across the nation! :)
Additionally, Idina also played the original Elphaba in Wicked. Though I never saw that show, I did however, have the honor of seeing the show (whilst on tour) at PPAC this past month. The cast was brilliant and I fell in love with the set and the story (by Gregory Maguire) I once read.
It takes place in Munchkinland far before Dorothy arrives and explains the friendship between Glinda (formerly Galinda) and Elphaba. It really changes your perspective on things. Is Elphaba really as "wicked" as they say she is?
Here's a review of this years tour:

Both are a MUST SEE!!! :) Friendship and sisterhood definitely stick out in these modes of entertainment and touch your heart.
