Well you guys remember when the death threats went public and the first reaction was "Oh that's terrible" and the second was "I'm so disappointed! Why isn't idina signing autographs at hte stage door? It's not fair! We pay soooo much money to see the show, we deserve to meet her!"

ya, fredi...

it's like when she was receiving the threats (or when it was frst noticed, rather) and everyone was asking if she would still come out and sign....when i was at the door, this old guy came before the crowds and i was watching him....he looked suspiscious...then he left after a while (b/c idina was taking a long time)....

but i'm sure if (g-d forbid) something happened while she was signing, these girls would be pissed saying, "OMG LIKE she was thear and got attacked and like she didn't even finish SIGNING OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(i know that's really bad, but i wouldn't put it pass them)




CAM - my favorite color is red...but it also looks really good....

Ugh. Idina's "fans" (the teenybopper ones) BOGGLE me. BOGGLE. (Fun word, isn't it?)

Okay, I'm a fifteen-year-old who loves her work in Rent and Wicked. I supposed I would almost call myself an Idina Menzel fan. But I would NEVER act the way they do...

Its like, they don't really care at all about her, but they're like totally obsessed. They harrass her and paw at her for autographs and such. BSoBW2, that is EXACTLY what they would do. And now that she's hurt, all they care about is whether or not she performs, as opposed to her health. *shakes head*

Let's hope she's better for the sake of her being healthy and okay.

cam - i'd listen to bso (male perspective an all...)

but ellie's last suggestion also has merit..


i'm glad to know that you guys have your priorites straight when it comes to di's accident...

the same thing happened to me at RENT - the day after i got out of hospital - i quit...

Wait, what? Some kind of accident at Rent? I never heard about that. Were you ok?

I was really mad when people started asking about her signing after the threats.

I've heard all these horror storys about the stage door at Wicked. All these Idina "fans" that have a huge gruge against Shoshana.... Its kinda scary

idina said that she got started performing to get away from sex, drinking, and drugs...ok, so that's not EXACTLY what she said - but if you know what i'm talking about....n/m

damn, if i had talent i would use it to get away from the drinking and drugs - but i don't have any talent...

NTG, don't melt!

I'm so lost...

Fredi - What happened?

[broadwaystar2b]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:41pm

What bothers me is that not only is she hurt and her fans are lil beyotches, but this is the THIRD Broadway trapdoor accident I've heard of in such a short period of time
Nathan Lane was hospitalized during Frogs
Fiddler's been having issues
They need to make some new regulations or more people are going to get hurt

Emcee, come on, you melted too!

The shirt had me giggling a little too much...oy...

[Staci1818]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:43pm

Yeah. Didn't Nancy Opel get hurt at Fiddler? Its been less than 6 months between the three, right?

[JoAnne1]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:43pm

nia - no - had a serious collision backstage and was carried out in an ambulance while my cover (shayna!) finished the show..

heard her doing TMOLM as they wheeled me out... too surreal.

suffered a concusion - was back in 4? days... gave notice...on my birthday

that was 10/02/97...

[N0tThatGirl213]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:44pm

Wow...

[broadwaystar2b]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:44pm

Shayna Steele was your US?!?!?!?!
She's so awesome in Hairspray!

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:44pm

OUCH.

Can't say I blame you...

[Staci1818]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:45pm

Ouch...

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:47pm

All right, not to spoil the conversation...but I have to ask this before I get kicked off because it's been bugging me for ages and I keep forgetting.

When you all recorded the OBCR, did Adam play the guitar parts that he played in the show?

[broadwaystar2b]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:48pm

EXACTLY adamized
people are like, But she's gonna sing tomorrow, yes?
SHE BROKE HER F****** RIB AND THAT'S ALL YOU CAN THINK OF?!?!?!?!
sorry guys, pent up anger's gotta come out sometime

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:48pm

fredi, a concussion is NO excuse - you had fans out there wanting to see ONLY you and wanting to get your autograph afterward. You let them down by leaving that show....

(so, that's how it would be if idina were to read some of these posts)


Yeah, sorry if I am sounding like a hyporcrite, but is Nancy Opel still in fiddler? I thought she left - then i heard about the accident....so is she back now?

I love her - Updated On: 1/8/05 at 10:48 PM
