Idina Menzel headed to the Wicked premiere with her 15-year-old son Walker over the weekend.
The actress, 53, who originated the role of Elphaba in the Broadway production, posed proudly with her teenager on the red carpet.
Walker, whom Idina shares with her ex-husband Taye Diggs, was almost as tall as her mother.
The teenager looked dapper in a crisp black suit paired with star-print platform sneakers.
Idina glammed it up in an elegant black off-the-shoulder dress that fit her like a glove. She paired the look with a sleek black clutch and hair full of shiny waves.

Based on a novel by Gregory Maguire, the 2003 Broadway musical Wicked told the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

The film will hit theaters on November 22, 2024 for Wicked: Part One and November 26, 2025 for Wicked: Part Two.
Meanwhile, Idina was married to Walker’s father, Taye, from 2003 to 2013.
The couple fell in love while starring in Broadway’s Rent as Maureen Johnson and Benjamin ‘Benny’ Coffin III in 1995. They later reprized their roles for the 2005 film adaptation of the musical.
Menzel and Diggs began dating sometime between 1995 and 1998.
