Garnering huge critical acclaim, MENZEL reached superstardom on Broadway with her Tony Award-winning performance as Elphaba, the misunderstood green girl, in the blockbuster Wicked and in her Tony Award-nominated role as Maureen in the revolutionary Rent. Beginning this September, MENZEL reprised her role on "Glee," FOX's smash hit television series, as Shelby Corcoran, Rachel's biological mother and the coach of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline.
Constantly amazing audiences with her captivating performances, MENZEL has a diverse career on the stage, in film, television, and in music. Performing a diverse repertoire of classic pop and musical theater favorites including hits from Wicked and Rent, as well as songs from her album "I Stand," MENZEL demonstrates why she is one of the great performers of our time. "I Stand" (2010) is a powerful collection of pop tunes and heartfelt ballads produced by legendary Grammy Award-winning producer Glen Ballard.
In 2006, MENZEL premiered Wicked in London's West End to rave reviews and received a Theatergoers Choice Award for Best Actress in a Musical. MENZEL's talents also garnered a Drama Desk Award nomination, as well as a Drama League Award nomination for her role in See What I Wanna See directed by Ted Sperling at The Public Theater. MENZEL also recently appeared in ABC's television series "Private Practice."
MENZEL's film credits include Disney's romantic fable, Enchanted (2007) where she appeared opposite Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams; Rent (2005), in which she reprised her role as Maureen; and a co-starring role in Robert Towne's Ask the Dust (2006), opposite Selma Hayek and Colin Farrell.
