She kicked off her theater career appearing in the musical Rent, where she starred as Maureen Johnson. Menzel would then go on to star in Summer of '42, Hair, Wicked, and Skintight.
The musical follows the unlikely friendship between Elphaba and Glinda and tells the story of how they become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch, respectively.
Menzel has been wholly supportive of the adaption and trusts that it will be beneficial to help people explore the world of Wicked further.
