Idina Menzel — Let It Go (Frozen) — live at The Fox Theater (4K)

Idina Menzel sings the Frozen song "Let It Go" live in concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California on July 21, 2024. Before doing so, she entertainingly takes the audience back to that night at the Oscars in 2014 when John Travolta botched his introduction of Menzel: "There will always be a special place in my heart for the movie musical and for the songs that create their most memorable moments. Here to perform the Oscar-nominated, gorgeously empowering song, Let It Go, from the Oscar-winning animated movie, Frozen. Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only: Adele Dazeem."

Let It Go was written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez for the Disney animated film, Frozen (2013). It was performed in the movie by Idina Menzel in her role as Queen Elsa. Let It Go won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Song Written For Visual Media. It reached Number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has almost 800 million streams on Spotify.

Idina Menzel is a Tony Award winning singer and actress from Syosset, New York. This was the second night of her Take Me Or Leave Me Tour. Joining her onstage were Clifford Carter (piano), Akil Thompson (guitar), Sean Hurley (bass), and Rich Mercurio (drums).

Idina Menzel official bio:

Menzel is a Tony-Award winning, 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, 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 film 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–where Menzel performed it at the ceremony–and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. The track reached #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.

A skillful songwriter, Menzel’s prolific recording career includes multiple cast albums and the solo albums: Still I Can’t Be Still, Here, I Stand and Idina, which landed in the Top 30 on Billboard’s Top 200 charts upon its release in 2016. She’s released two holiday-themed albums, Holiday Wishes, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Holiday Albums chart and gave Menzel a Top 10 album on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and its 2019 follow-up, Christmas: A Season Of Love featuring duets with Ariana Grande, Billy Porter, Josh Gad and Idina’s husband, Aaron Lohr.

This past fall, Menzel released her electrifying dance project Drama Queen via BMG. The project is a departure from what she’s released in the past, as Menzel showcases her powerhouse vocals through disco-infused beats and soaring anthems. Idina worked with award-winning collaborators including Nile Rodgers (Chic, Diana Ross, Beyonce), Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Sir Nolan (Shawn Mendes, Carly Rae Jepsen), Jim Eliot (Elie Goulding, Kylie Minogue) and more.

Menzel has also released two children’s picture books alongside her sister, Cara Mentzel, called “Loud Mouse,” and “Proud Mouse” via Disney Publishing Worldwide. Both books center around self-acceptance and being true to yourself.
