Early Life
Born in New York City and raised with her younger sister, Menzel's parents divorced when she was fifteen. Around that time Menzel began singing at weddings and bar mitzvahs, which she would carry into her college years at New York University where she studied drama. Menzel changed her original name of Mentzel to Menzel, due to pronunciation issues while auditioning for her first big theater gig. It was in 1995 when Menzel auditioned for a show called Rent that her life would change. -
A Life on the Stage
When Menzel was cast in Rent it was an off-Broadway show at the New York Theater Workshop. Due to its popularity, the show found itself on Broadway at the Nederlander Theater. Menzel was nominated for a Tony for the show and moved to a variety of other roles, starring in Aida and in 2003 appeared on stage with Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked where she won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. -
