Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter and Tony Award-winning performer, Idina Menzel today announced that her “Take Me or Leave Me Tour” will stop at the Charleston Gaillard Center on Saturday, August 3rd.
The tour will feature fan favorites from throughout her career, showcasing iconic hits from Wicked, Rent, and newer music from her dance album, Drama Queen, which was released this past summer.
Menzel is also 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, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the smash musical Wicked.
Her voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney’s Oscar-winning Frozen, the second highest grossing animated films of all time, with more than $1.2 billion in worldwide box office revenue. The film’s song “Let It Go,” voiced by Menzel, became an instant international phenomenon, winning the Oscar for Best Original Song. The track reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Menzel the first artist with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting. Menzel received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award at Billboard’s annual Women in Music event in 2014 and performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLIX.
Tickets for her Charleston show go on sale on Friday, April 26th at 10 am at gaillardcenter.org. Gaillard Center Members receive presale access. To learn more about the Membership program, contact our Advancement Office at info@gaillardfoundation.org or (843) 718-1578.
