Idina Menzel To Perform "Star-Spangled Banner" At The Super Bowl In Arizona

Idina Menzel is set to perform the US national anthem at the Super Bowl.  








The "Let It Go" singer will follow in the footsteps of legendary divas such as Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce to take on the Star-Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XLIX at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona on February 1.

Menzel is an iconic Broadway star but she will be taking the same stage as the late entertainer Whitney Houston, who sang the anthem at the American football event 24 years ago and whose performance is widely considered as the best ever.

Idina wrote on her twitter account: "It was 1991 and I remember it well: Whitney sings the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Almost as glorious as her voice was her huge radiant smile. I am so humbled and honored to be asked this year. (sic)"

John Legend is also going to sing "America the Beautiful" at the annual NFL event.            

The two stars will be joined by fellow artists Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz.


Actress Treshelle Edmond will also hit the stage to perform both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful" in sign language in front of the 63,400-strong audience.
