The Barefoot at the Symphony Tour was concert tour by American actress and singer Idina Menzel. This marks Menzel's first concert tour after giving birth to her son Walker Nathaniel Diggs. The tour featured Menzel performing a diverse repoitore of classic pop, musical theater favorites—including hits from Wicked, Rent, Glee, and songs from her third studio album I Stand—all accompanied by major symphony orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and more.
The show in Toronto was recorded live for a CD, DVD, and a PBS airing. Several shows on the second leg, the orchestra would be based on local musicians from the town Menzel was in.
