I was wondering if anyone here saw saw Idina as Amneris in Aida? I've seen her broadway on broadway version of My Strongest Suit, but I was wondering what people though of her as Amneris.
Q:What advice do you have for aspiring Broadway stars who are terminally shy? I love your work, because you seem so bold. How do you do it?
A:"I think I take more chances on stage then I do in real life but you can't learn anything if you don't challenge yourself. And don't say "terminally". If you love to perform then you have no choice, just keep training and focus on the words or the music whenever you find yourself slipping back inside yourself. You're not doing anyone any favors if you withhold your talents from the world"- Idina Menzel

I saw her several times. I was disappointed at first because she had brown hair and I thought the part required blonde. Anyways I didn't know who she was, and when I heard that she had been chosen for Wicked, I looked at her a little differently in the role. I wasn't really that big of a part, she was fine.
i have a recording of her doing My Strongest Suit, and the end is an obvious disaster. but the faces she made to try and get on pitch were quite funny.......
It doesn't matter what color hair Amneris has. You guys just think they have to have blonde hair because of Sherie. There plenty of Amneris's who did not have blonde hair.

I don't think people are thinking of Amneris having blonde hair because of Sherie as much as Amneris is very much a character that fits into our modern-day "blonde" stereotype. I agree that it ultimately doesn't matter too much, though.
I actually loved her as Amneris. She had a beautiful voice, and actually acted the part very well. She was funny in the comedic scenes, but very powerful near the end. Her "I Know the Truth" was amazing!
^^ Yeah, I've heard that no one can beat Idina's "I know the truth"
