ABC is developing a drama series for Tony Award winner Idina Menzel, according to a report on Deadline.com. On the show, Menzel will play a single mother, who sings at weddings and bar mitzvahs in order to help make ends meet.

Menzel won the Tony for Wicked, and her other stage credits include Rent, Chess, and The Wild Party. She is expected to return this season to the hit FOX series Glee as Shelby Corcoran.

In addition, she is performing a series of concerts around the country through February 3, and will, as previously reported, make her debut with the New York Philharmonic on February 5.
