Galinda’s bed didn’t come out for Popular. Kristin sat on the floor where her bed should have been, and started singing “I want my bed, I want my bed!” with the “My Fair Lady” melody. The scene didn’t continue until Idina asked her if she wanted to share her bed, to which point she (delightfully) agreed and continued with the scene.
Idina could barely get it together through the entire scene. :)
“I am so proud to be in a musical that celebrates women, that celebrates their strengths and their differences, and to be in the company of these women this evening is a dream for me. Thank you so much. And Kristin Chenoweth, you are the grace and the light on that stage every night. This is something we built together and I love you. And Joe Mantello has had the faith in me for three and a half years and kicked my butt into this role. And Stephen Schwartz for writing the most beautiful music someone could sing eight times a week and Winnie Holzman for giving the green girl a heart. And the producers Mark Platt and David Stone and everyone and Tanya Travers, my voice teacher, and Heather Reynolds and Bonnie Bernstein and Joby Horrigan and Joe Dulude and Al Annotto get me in and out of this silly green makeup every night. And the cast, Joel Grey, Carole Shelley, Norbert Butz, the crew for getting me safe up and down and on the flying machine. And my mother, my father, my sister Cara and my grandmother are here tonight. Thank you for taking me to see Dreamgirls and Annie and everything growing up. And my beautiful, beautiful husband who tells me he loves me every time I feel like the biggest loser. I love you so much! Thank you everybody!” —
Idina Menzel, Best Actress in a Musical, Wicked
Just in case someone forgot it happened….
Kristin talking about her favorite moment in ‘Wicked’ (2009)
Fan: “I just wanted to know what was the best part of your whole experience: opening night, closing night, in the middle, rehearsals?”
KC: “That’s a great question. If you think I love the process of rehearsals and exactly what we get to fail and not being embarrassed and that what we get to play and that what we get to succeed. Some of the best moments happen in rehearsals. I remember, I don’t know the wand trick that Glinda does with the fight, I think we were messing around in rehearsals one day and we say “wouldn’t it be funny to have a fight with the wand?”
But my favorite part of the entire experience with every single night getting to stand “For Good” with Idina. I think that song is about friendship and forgiveness and love.”
Guys, we’re in third place! I know it doesn’t make the difference but for those who wants to see Idina and Kristin performing together again, VOTE!
Just because I haven’t reblogged it in a few months.
“Change” by Kristin Chenoweth is a love/hate letter to Idina Menzel
Have you read the lyrics?
Someday when I’m over you And when I think I’m able to Well, I might try to be your friend again But your restless heart and rolling eyes My jealousy, these endless fights I’ve got to get out of your life Or I will never mend
I guess I’ll die a bit each day But I’m always dying anyway I don’t have the heart to stay And I can’t take the pain I know we’ve tried to no avail Our heaven now has turned to hell The same old hurt we know so well But something’s got to change
We both know it’s got to end The passion’s gone It’s just pretend One of us has got to make the move We might as well just give it up We’ve lost respect and there’s no trust And without this there’s no real love It’s just some sad excuse
I guess I’ll die a bit each day But I’m always dying anyway And there’s nothing left but walk away Ain’t this a crying shame A change of pace A change of heart The change of place A place to start And we’ll be better off apart Our only hope is change And we never will But something has to change
But someday when I’m over you And when I think I’m able to Well, I will try to be your friend again But I don’t want to see your face till then.
Two phrases catched my attention:
The first one, Someday when I’m over you and when I think I’m able to I might try to be your friend again, could totally be about some ex-boyfriend.
But when you read the last phrase of the song, I will try to be your friend again but I don’t want to see your face till then, she’s talking about Idina, because she keeps in touch with her ex-bfs, and Idina is the only person we know that she hasn’t spoken to for a while (2010 Tonys doesn’t count. That was promotional).
Besides she said that when something bad happened with a woman she cut comunication.
It HAS to be Idina. Any other argument is invalid.
“I have several favorite moments; it depends on the day. I love singing the duet with Kristin at the end because I’m always in awe of how different our voices are, and yet, when we sing together in unison, how wonderfully they blend. That’s an important statement for the characters and the people that we are in real life as well.” Idina Menzel.
YES! WE GET IT. YOU TWO ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT. I’M KINDA TIRED OF READING FROM BOTH SIDES HOW DIFFERENT THIS TWO ARE.
YOU CAN’T BE THAT DIFFERENT AND WORK TOGETHER SO WELL FOR SO MANY HOURS.
Sometimes I think that the only person Kristin Chenoweth is not following/talking to on Twitter is Idina Menzel.
