Disney Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?

“Which Way to the Stage?” Documentary Coming to Disney+

October 11, 2022
idina:live, tv, Which Way to the Stage?

Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?, an intimate and inspirational film that follows Idina on her path to realize a life-long dream – to headline a concert at Madison Square Garden in her hometown of New York City – is coming to Disney+!

Featuring never-before-seen performance footage alongside raw and vulnerable interviews, the documentary follows Idina on an intimate journey as she juggles the challenges of being a working mom and wife on a grueling travel schedule while preparing to take the stage at the legendary arena.

Directed by filmmaker Anne McCabe and produced in partnership with iDeal Partners, Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage? makes its world premiere on December 9, exclusively on Disney+.

Through unprecedented interviews and footage, the beloved actress and singer, whose triumphant roles include Broadway productions of Rent and Wicked as well as the celebrated voice of Elsa in Disney’s Frozen, pulls back the curtain on her remarkable career, the incredible – and oftentimes laborious – moments that prepared her for her big breaks and the people who have supported her since the beginning. Additionally, Menzel reflects on motherhood, marriage, and the realities of juggling work and family. Throughout the film, she shares her personal experience with in vitro fertilization, an emotional process that runs parallel to her runway toward Madison Square Garden.
