Does anyone have a video clip of Idina's acceptance speech at the 2004 Tony's? I missed it and was wondering if there were any clips out there....
thanks!

Try the Tony's website. They have a lot of clips archived. I think it is www.tonyawards.org.
Cant find a video clip anywhere, but here is the text...
"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

Yeah, she always looked taller to me too. By the way, there are no video clips of Idina's Tony acceptance speech, but there are good ones of her being interviewed before and after the show at www.tonyawards.com
IDINA ROCKS!!
Lol, I imagined Idina to be this 5'10" woman, and it's funny to know I'm taller than her..
She's tiny...onstage she's wearing heels and she's standing next to Kristin, so you just don't notice. I'm not surprised at all to hear that she's 5'4.
