From what I've read, she hasn't even been coming out after evening shows through the stage door. I'm in a LiveJournal Wicked Community, and people post all the time about seeing the show recently. None of the posts for last few months have mentioned her coming out. JLT always shows, though.

She came out on Sat Nov 13th at night. But the girl was out for 2 minutes max before she ran into her car. She did sign like 5 autographs though. Maybe she just picks and chooses the nights she comes out depending on her mood.
As for matinee.. i dont think she comes out between

She's got to be sick of screaming middle schoolers by this point in her run so it's understandable.

Adoring fans...hm.

You think it'd be flattering.

Was Actor asking about matinees?


Also, the behavior and antics on the part of many "fans" of the show at the stage door make me really admire Idina's composure so far. If I had to put up with autograph hounds and pushy mothers demanding my signature and picture, I'd kick them hard in the face, too.

I went this past March. I was lucky enough to get an autograph but she obviously just wanted to go home. If you get the chance to meet her she is not the most social person alive but maybe she was just in a bad mood.

How much would you put up with for $30,000 a week? I'd put up with a lot more than signing 5 autographs once every couple of weeks or so.

Even if you had Taye Diggs waiting for you in bed?

If I had Taye Diggs waiting in my bed, I would hack through that crowd of little girls with a machete.

It's me, Tiff. Taye Diggs waiting in my bed would only make me want to sleep on the couch.

I think she normally doesn't come out for matinees because she doesn't want to come out in green make-up, etc. Or else she heads to yoga or something (according to some post on here a while back).


Good point, Rath. I forgot. But you can understand Matt_G and my rationale, no?

im pretty sure she does yoga in the mornings. ive heard of times when she has been walking to the theater and there are a bunch of kids waiting at the stage door wanting pics and idina telling them she doesn't want to take pics because she just came from the gym

When I went, she started at one end of the line and went down the line rather quickly, signing maybe 10-15 autographs, but no posing for pictures. It was an evening performance, tho.

Amen to that. I'm not sure 30K a week would tempt me OUT of Taye's bed in the first place.

^^ tiff, i read somewhere (i don't remember where) that she gets all new makeup for the evening performance because the makeup is darker in the second act. i know she doesn't take a nap cause "her voice falls asleep" so WHAT does she do in between??

[BroadwayGirl107]

She probably calls for Taye to come up to her dressing room.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 5:52pm

30K a week would be enough for me to keep Brenda waiting an extra half hour or so.

Then you are a much, much nobler lady than I, Rath.

Bwaygirl, nothing like a between-show booty call behind the scenes at Wicked! Green make-up and all. "Oh Kermit! THAT's the spot, Jolly Green!"

lmfao I bet Idina and Taye have intermission sex all the time!

No one comes out between shows (after matinees) but she might come out after the show... who knows.

TIFF...LMAO.

TIFF, i seriously started laughing out loud, scaring the crap out of my roommate.

And Idina is really random. I met her in September, and actually got a picture with her, but it was BEFORE the show, and there was really no one else at the stage door.
