Hello there,
Just like to say I wish Idina all the best of luck for today as she is leaving WICKED tonight in London. If anyone from the USA goes tonight, can you please tell me how it went and was she very emotional?
From what I read from the west end board is that Idina might be coming back to London next year to star in RENT as Maureen. I'm not sure if it is official or not but I wonder what she'll do next after WICKED.
If you like to put your reviews on what you've thought on Idina's performances since September have been, then you are more than welcome to.
Those who are seeing her tonight, enjoy!
So what...I sing

Posted: 12/30/06 at 5:23amShe would really go back to rent after all this time? Wow and I would think she is a little to old to play a 20 year old though she has always looked great

Posted: 12/30/06 at 7:24amIt's about time. She needs to move on from "Wicked" and "Rent" already. I still don't get her but one thing I do know is she is way too OLD for "Rent". She was too old for the film so she would be wise not to play the role again on stage.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 7:24amDo you think she just might turn into the next Carol Channing, when shes in her 60's she will still be doing just Rent and Wicked?

Posted: 12/30/06 at 8:11amO could you image her up there at 60 singing defying gravity as a teenage, how comical

Sounds like a national day of tragedy.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 11:33amOh please. Why can't any thread about Idina be positive? Seriously.

Goodbye Idina.. for now.
The second Wicked starts losing money, I'm sure Ms. Menzel will be getting a call.

I really, REALLY hope that's not true.
I mean, Idina, you were great in RENT once, but it's time to move on.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 4:34pmIt's sad that so many people bash Idina. I would be willing to bet that many people don't actualy dislike her, but they take out their anger on the crazy fans love for Idina, on Idina. On any note, here's to a fabulous last show!
#21re: Idina Menzel's Final Performance
Posted: 12/30/06 at 4:40pmIts her fan base that,sadly, makes people bash her. Plenty of people are faking on not liking her. She is listed as the number one performer on the *Showcial Network" here on BWW.

I heard she's going to try to have a baby after this.
It's about time she stopped being the green girl.
All the luck to her.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

To those whom have loads of questions saying 'are you kidding me', this link below shows where I saw this info shared.

Also, I've been looking at some previous comments & I really wish people would stop bashing Idina. She's an incredible actress with a lovely personality and I hope she has a night to remember tonight! I love Idina!

Wow, you'd think that Idina was Jesus himself due to the controversy she sparks on these threads.
Best of luck to her. I'm thinking that she should venture into yankeefan's producing prospect. A little reading of the yellow pages with Hugh Jackman sounds like a smash to me.
