PHILADELPHIA -- Broadway superstar and Disney Legend Idina Menzel is now starring in a new feature bio-documentary called "Idina Menzel: Which Way to the Stage?"

"It was a dream come true when I found that I was going to be playing at Madison Square Garden," said Menzel. "For a New York girl, a Long Island girl, this is just the epitome of all places to play. I just wanted to take it in and embrace it."

The Tony Award-winner also un-vaults never-before-seen performance footage, and gets real about real life as a working mom.

"When the cameras started rolling, I realized this wasn't going to be your quintessential tour documentary," said Menzel. "It's going to be a documentary about a working woman, trying to be a good mother, who gets on stage, puts some makeup on and sings some songs, and keeps her sanity."
