Idina Menzel is one of my absolute idols. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and yes there is some general banter but she is very witty and charming and her anecdotes put some of the songs into context and for some of them - "No Day But Today" for example - it gives the songs a whole new emotional context and gives them far more of an impact then the songs on their own :D. It is also lovely to hear Idina in her element and how much fun she is having whilst performing, a moment that sticks in my mind is when her husband Taye Diggs appears on stage and the two perform a duet.
All in all I feel my money was very well spent :D x
