Idina Fans Wearing Red Track Suits — Page 6

"And now I wonder if, had Idina come out wearing a t-shirt and jeans, would the hysteria be lessened? There's not much to freak out over something as indistinct as a t-shirt and jeans.."

I'm sure the psycho Idina fans would have found some way to keep up the hysteria. All this nonsense is making me really sad, because I feel like I can never wear my red tracksuit (purchased long before Wicked was even a glimmer in Stephen Schwarz's eye) again.

Well at least maybe teenyboppers in jeans and Old Navy t-shirts would have been less distracting.

Oh come on Fosse! She had a broken rib and was doped up on pain killers!

this is what that girl had to say about her experience at the book signing:

anthony seemed bored with being there.
it wasnt the best experience, he was a bit of a diva.
i expected "mark cohen" and i got... a rude anthony.

"what did he do that was so dickish?" you may ask....

well, they gave us post-it notes to write our names on so he could ONLY sign our stuff and not talk to us. it was just like a huge line of people with books and post-its that were ushered along while prince anthony sat there and scribbled "hi *your name* anthonyrapp" it was way too impersonal and he didnt look anyone in the eye and i just got a weird rude vibe from him.

I've gotten post its with my name on it at every book signing i've ever been to.

And to address the track suit issue, I personally would rather wear a track suit then be stuffed into fancy clothes with a broken rib.

That post-it thing does sound a LITTLE un-Anthony, because I've so many reports about how personable he is...that being said, I'm sure the book signing was a madhouse. They had to do something to keep it moving.

If loving track suits is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I don't get it either, downtown. Anthony was a sweetheart when i met him (at the Virgin Megastore signing- you want to talk about CHAOS.)

---

Does your worship consist of mooing at the altar? I just want a clear picture.

---

Yeah that is a little odd for idina freaks to do that. I respect Idina, I think she rocks but I would never wear a red track suit to show that... Poor Idina- some of her fans are nuts.

I don't know about you but my tracksuits stay on the soccer field. Though I do find it highly amusing that I got the top of the tracksuit a couple of days before the whole incident. (Hey, Bloomies had a crazy sale and I think I paid like $20 for it...)

Honestly, the post its do sound more like a venue thing then Anthony. On the couple of occasions where I've met him, he has always been really personable and sweet. (I even asked him about Wax Lion at the Virgin signing, and he called Tracie and started asking her, too cute. <33) To be honest you can't really expect something that ideal for a signing. You know it's going to be mobbed, and often times full of enthusiastic fans.

What had to be the most amusing moment was when I got in a little argument with someone there who was complaining about Idina leaving the signing earlier than all the other cast members... Oy. Then some little old lady got all interested and wanted to wait for Idina at the stagedoor after SWIWS. *head thud* "Um...well she doesn't come out that often, especially when she's uh, tired and has to errrrm, do stuff before the show." In hopes that everyone and their mother wouldn't go flocking there with their huge ass RENT posters. (Okaaaay, I'm still bitter that I didn't get one.) But then Taye got bored without Idina, and it was just waaaay too funny. <33

Wait...Idina fans in red tracksuits...yea, that's the topic.

It is indeed tacky, but it could have been worse.

They could have been mooing.
