Heads up: For those of you in Chicago, and maybe elsewhere, Idina (with Josh Groban) will be on Soundstage on PBS tonight at 9 pm central time.
Here's the info from the PBS website: Tony Award-winning actress-singer Idina Menzel ("Wicked," "Rent") performs selections from her 2008 album "I Stand," duets with Josh Groban on his hit "Awake" and is also joined by saxophonist Ravi Coltrane. Included: "Better to Have Loved"; "Brave"; "Gorgeous"; "My Own Worst Enemy"; "Perfume and Promises."

ok, so this is still her stuff from her tour, right? Its just that they filmed her stop in NY, right? if so.. did she do a Julia Roberts tribute sorta thing? if so, it was HYSTERICAL live!
it was funny actually.. thank GOD there weren't many fanzels at the concert here in Richmond, infact, there were a TON of middle aged women there
but basically, she did this stint where she talked in her New York accent, had this awful 80's prom dress, sang some songs like that, and said something about Julia Roberts? I don't know, lol it was just funny
I have a feeling that they would not put that on. And wow... Ravi Coltrane made "Perfume and Promises" sound SO much better. Not that it was a horrible song before, but he made it sound better.

I am very surprised that its not airing in SF until Sunday at midnight. Of all the city with a bunch of theater queens I'd assume SF would be on top of the list. On the plus side, in place of it tonight on KQED they have the Great Performances South Pacific @ Carnegie with Brian Stokes Mitchell.
I thought she was great. It's too bad they didn't include all of her little stories. That would have made it more than an hour, though, so I understand. I really liked the song she did with Josh Groban.
