Award winning singer and actress Idina Menzel stopped by a recent episode of ELLEN and practiced singing the chorus of 'Let It Go' in Japanese for her upcoming World Concert Tour. Menzel also shared stories about life at home with her son and discussed her recent 'National Anthem' performance at this year's Super Bowl. Watch the appearance in full below!

As BWW reported several months ago, Menzel is set to star in a half-hour comedy pilot titled HAPPY TIME from Ellen Degeneres' A Very Good Production and Warner Bros. TV. Written by 'Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return's Randi Barnes, the show is described as "a comedy about a woman (Menzel) in the public eye who's ready to stop pretending she's so damned happy all the time."

Menzel rose to prominence when she originated the role of Maureen Johnson in the hit Broadway musical Rent, a role which she reprised for the 2005 feature film adaptation of the musical. She received a Tony Award nomination in 1996 for her performance in Rent.

In 2004, she won the Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for originating the role of Elphaba in the blockbuster Broadway musicalWicked. She made her return to Broadway in the 2014 musical If/Then. She is currently a nominee for the 2014 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance.

Menzel is also known for her recurring role of Shelby Corcoran on the musical comedy-drama television series Glee, the 2007 Disney movie Enchanted and as THE VOICE of Elsa the Snow Queen in the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen, which is the highest-grossing animated film of all time, in which she sang the Academy Award-winning song "Let It Go". The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Solo albums include Barefoot At The Symphony (a live recording of her PBS special by the same name), I Stand, Here, and Still I Can't Be Still. She recently starred in If/Then at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre.
