The Queen of Broadway is taking her talents far and wide this summer.
From July through August, Tony-winning actress and “Frozen” star Idina Menzel will swoop into theaters and performing arts centers all over North America as part of her 20-concert ‘Take Me Or Leave Me Tour.’
And, while she won’t technically bring the show to Broadway, Menzel is going to get awfully close when she headlines at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 15.
“Super personal, intimate, lots of laughs, lots of stories, lots of great new music, old music,” the 52-year-old “Wicked” star shared, describing the show on Instagram.
For those that can’t wait to witness Menzel’s iconic mezzo-soprano vocals live — and maybe sing along to “Let It Go” — tickets for all shows can be yours as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 26, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Idina Menzel new music
Last year, Menzel released her seventh studio album “Drama Queen.”
Comprised of ten tracks, Menzel embraces disco and delivers a half hour of essential synth pop.
While there isn’t a dud in the bunch, we’d recommend the danceable “Dramatic,” funky “Make Me Hate Me” and anthemic “Funny Kind Of Lonely.”
Still, the second track “Beast” is the one to look out for; it’s perfect for the club, spin class or a shower singalong.
