Who's up for Ten to the Top?
Broadway icon Idina Menzel selects her Tracks of My Years. Plus, there's Vernon's music quiz and two more contestants take on Ten to the Top.
Broadway superstar Idina Menzel chooses her Tracks of My Years.
Idina is probably best known for her performance as Elsa in the hit Frozen franchise, but before then she鈥檇 already established herself as a Broadway icon. She made her debut on the Great White Way in 1997 in the rock-musical Rent, and in 2003 she performed in the original cast of Wicked. Her performance as Elphaba, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West, garnered critical acclaim and led her to winning a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical.
A decade later, her role as Elsa in Frozen made Idina a household name, with her performance of the track Let It Go storming the charts and securing an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Alongside her acting career, Idina has had parallel success as a recording artist, and in August she鈥檚 releasing her fifth album, Drama Queen. The record is an ode to disco past and present, and sees Idina work alongside Nile Rogers and Jake Shears.
Idina鈥檚 next two choices come from Diana Ross and Duran Duran.
There'll also be more audio nuggets as we dive in to the 成人快手 Archive in Vernon's Vault, plus there's the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and a brand new Record and Album of the Week.
Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
