Idina Returning to “Skintight” in Los Angeles!

July 15, 2019

Following its successful 2018 run in New York City, Joshua Harmon’s play Skintight is heading to Los Angeles’s Geffen Playhouse’s 2019-2020 season.

Idina will reprise her lead role as Jodi Isaac. Joining Idina in the cast are Will Brittain, Eli Gelb, Harry Groener, Kimberly Jürgen, and Jeff Skowron. Daniel Aukin directs.

“Hanging on by a thread after her ex-husband gets engaged to a much younger woman, Jodi (Tony Award winner Idina Menzel, Rent, Wicked) retreats to her dad’s swanky Manhattan townhouse. But rather than the comforts of home, she instead finds her aging father’s new live-in boyfriend, Trey—who is 20. In his new comedy, Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other) brings neurotic family drama to the forefront as father and daughter contend with the age-old questions of how to age gracefully in a world obsessed with youth and where love fits into it all.”

Performances begin September 3 at the Gil Cates Theater.

Pre-sale tickets are available to Idina’s fans now at GeffenPlayhouse.org with code IDINA.

Single tickets go on sale to the public on July 22 at 12:00 pm PST.

A Stage Return in “Skintight”!

November 17, 2017

Idina will be returning to the New York City stage this spring in Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Skintight!

Skintight is new scorching examination of beauty, youth and sex from writer Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other) and director Daniel Aukin (Bad Jews). Menzel stars as Jodi Isaac, a woman reeling from her ex-husband’s engagement to a much younger woman. She turns to her famous fashion-designer dad for support, to find him wrapped up in his West Village townhouse with Trey. Who’s 20. And not necessarily gay. But probably an adult film star. At least, according to Jodi’s son. Who’s also 20. And definitely gay. Skintight assays the nature of love, the power of attraction, and the ways in which a superficial culture persists in teaching its children that all that matters is what’s on the inside.

Performances begin May 31, 2018 at the Laura Pels Theatre in New York City. Tickets are available now with codeword IDINA.
