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.
