Idina Menzel, KC Symphony interview by Ruth Baum Bigus

These days, Idina Menzel is “defying gravity,” bringing her powerful voice to Helzberg Hall of the Kaufmann Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday evening Nov. 12. Perhaps best known for playing the role of the green witch Elphaba in the long-running hit Broadway musical “Wicked” (written by Jewish composer Stephen Schwartz), Menzel will appear with members of the Kansas City Symphony for a 90-minute, no intermission performance.
