Idina Menzel is getting bigger than she already was previous to "Frozen" and the recent "Adele Dazeem" incident.

The "Frozen" star has made another spectacular career move with her new Broadway musical "If/Then."

According to the LA Times, "If/Then" brought in $909,159 on its first week of preview performances at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

The musical was written by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Next to Normal."

"If/Then" follows the parallel-universe adventures of a thirty something woman who moves to New York.

The show reportedly played to more than 95% audience capacity, which is an incredibly turnout for a musical that is still in it's preview stage.

While Idina Menzel enjoys her successful career and growing fame, she has John Travolta to thank for the exploding media attention surrounding her name.

For those that don't know, Travolta referred to the "Let It Go" singer as "Adele Dazeem" at the Oscars before she performed her successful hit.

Slate Magazine reportedly created the "Travoltified" tool, which allows you to put in your name and see what John Travolta would call you if he were to butcher your name.

A fake playbill was made for Menzel's recent conquer "If/Then" notifying viewers that Adele Dazeem will be substituting for Idina Menzel.

As fans joke about John Travolta and his inability to pronounce Menzel's name, "Frozen" is still keeping its spot on the Billboard 200 Chart.

The soundtrack has been No. 1 for five weeks and counting, recently beating the record set by the "Titanic" soundtrack, according to ABC News.

The hit song "Let It Go" won best original song at the Academy Awards while the track sold close to 1.5 million tracks and is a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"If/Then" is scheduled to officially open on March 30.
