MUSIC MADNESS: Win tickets to see Idina Menzel at the Mann Center -- WE HAVE OUR WINNERS

Holy giveaways, Crit Massers! We've been going hot and heavy with the free stuff this week but there ain't no stoppin' us now. We want you to go see the one, the only Idina Menzel performing with the Philadelphia Orchestra this Thu., June 24 at the Mann Center. Menzel is a powerhouse of musical theater, originating the role of Maureen in Rent and winning a best actress Tony for her work as Elphaba in the crazy popular Wicked. Most recently, Menzel could be seen as Rachel's (Lea Michele) bio-mom on Glee. So how can you go see Menzel? The first two people to answer the following question by e-mailing molly [dot] eichel [at] citypaper [dot] net get the goods:

How did original Wicked Gregory Maguire author come up with the name Elphaba?

Congrats to Ariel and Leah, who answered that Maguire came up with the name of his heroine by combining the initials of Wizard of Oz writer L. Frank Baum.

Idina Menzel with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Thu., June 24, 8 p.m., $10-$50, Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Avenue Fairmount Park, 215-878-0400.
