Emmy, actually. The Tonys are on TV.

Testing, I've done better acting like that before pretending to like someone. If you watch closely, Idina mouths "Wassup now, beeyatch" as she goes up to the stage.

I thought she was saying, "Watch out, Blondie!"

No, Joel Grey told me what she really said.

Oh then it's probably accurate.

Rath,

I think people knew what I meant.... Emmy, Oscar... whatever... point was that she did a great job of acting if they really dont like eachother.

What's sad is the fact that so many of you find this hard to believe. While I agree that Grey is out of line, on what planet do you think women, in the entertainment industry, vying for the same level of fame and status and insignificant gold statue, *would* automatically, get along? That, in my opinion, would have been the far more interesting and unbelivable page 6 item. It also doesn't help that Cheno is highly delusional and has serious entitlement issue's (as I've said many times), with and about her "place" in the fame game. And before any women get on me about perpetuating bad stereotypes about how women do or don't get along, history speaks for itself. This isn't the first time and it certainly won't be the last.

I was going to say the same thing about her name. Sad, how they couldn't even get the spelling it right.

AL dente;
Only the fact that you have posted would make me ver read a Wcked thread. I have missed you.

Al's blushing.

Posted: 8/8/04 at 2:47pm

Blush all you want, but you are completely right.

"Blush all you want, but you are completely right. "


If you don't like Wicked and all you do is put down it and it's fans...why DO you read the Wicked threads, Matt?

[Al Dente]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 2:50pm

Now my ears are turning red.

[Matt_G]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 2:50pm

Honey, when did I say I don't like WICKED?

[Al Dente]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 2:53pm

OhsoWicked, you might want to re-read this thread and this time put your reading *comprehension* glasses on. This isn't about Wicked, it's about the page 6 article about the ladies that formerly starred in the show together and the dynamics of their relationship, on stage and off. there, you feeling better now? WICKED RULES!

I think it's true to a certian extent...

I've heard from people who have been in show's with Idina that she can either be a beast or a doll...nowhere in the middle of the two.

Kristin on the other had seems to be able to get along with everyone, and everyone that has worked with her raves about her.

I could also see Kristin overshadowing Idina a bit when it was supposed to be Idina's show and I could see Idina being less than happy about that.

I don't think it was 100% hostile like that particular article makes it seem. A lot of you mentioned Idina's tony speech...I think if you watch it again that it seemed almost like an apology, maybe that's just me though?

Whatever, it doesn't really matter...MattG is right, a lot of the people who like Wicked think it's the most flawless show to ever hit Broadway and that nothing can go wrong because Wicked's perfect...not true. Not true one bit. The show has plenty of flaws but you just gotta love it (or hate it) for what it's worth

OhsoWicked, as the original poster of the story, let me just say I'm a huge Wicked fan. But the fact is, it doesn't matter to me whether or not Kristin/Idina got along offstage, so long as they did their roles justice. I always assumed they didn't, just from the comments in various articles both have made. I don't know if they were clawing each other's eyes out or anything, but given how very different their personalities are, it doesn't come as a huge shock that they didn't gel.

Having seen the show numerous times, the first time with Kristin's understudy Melissa Bell Chait and now with her replacement Jennifer Laura Thompson, and also Eden Espinosa in place of Idina, the show is completely different with each dynamic. I was actually kind of shocked at how different the show seemed with Kristin/Idina together and I actually preferred it when they weren't together, because I didn't feel like it was two people trying to outdo each other.

No kidding. I can read, thanks. I just think that some people on this board continually (and im not referring to anyone in particular) jump automatically to sarcasm whenever a Wicked topic is mentioned, and its often unnecessary.

And yes, when the two leading ladies of Wicked are featured in an article, that makes the thread Wicked-related.

And no, I'm not one of the fans that are like OMG WICKED RULES YAY!!! (although I've seen very few of them here). I can handle people's differing opinions, I dislike the consistent sarcasm.

/ end rant.

Absolutely. Even in interviews when asked about their relationship or how they felt about working with the other, they would say "Well I have a great RESPECT for her..." not necessarily that they're the best of friends. I myself think they were friends, after having to play best friends for over three years...and they looked geuinely happy at the Tony's and such...but yes they are actors so it could be fake...but I choose to believe it isnt :) heh. They were great together in the show, and thats that!

They are obviously trying to manipulate good goosip out of Kristin and Idina's relationshiip by overdramatizing in a big way. So they argued? So there were ups and downs in their relationship? So there was tension? So everything might not have been perfect between them all the time? That just about describes my relationship with my best friend of almost 15 years. Sometimes there are arguments. Sometimes we need a break from each other. There have been short periods where we weren't friends at all. That doesn't mean there is some deep rooted feud between us and that doesn't mean we don't care about each other or have wonderful moments in our friendship. The same could be true for Kristin and Idina. I'm sure the article had truth to it but it's only true for the moment. I don't know about any of you but if a journalist were to publicly document the rough times I've had with friends, it would appear that our relationships were disasters, when in fact those arguments are long forgotten to us. A private dressing room fight that happened to have become public between Kristin and Idina doesn't have to forever define their relationship. Not to mention the supposed fight happened quite some time ago and not a few weeks before the Tonys like the article said, implying it was more of a recent incident. I tend to believe Grey when he said they ended up adoring and respecting each other. That's what I've always observed. They spent a ridiculous amount of time together so if they didn't have some rocky moments I'd have been worried. Updated On: 8/8/04 at 03:28 PM

If they were or are friends, it's professionally. Somehow I don't see Kristin and Idina talking to each other on the phone every night. The ladies are the complete opposite of one another. One's a prissy princess and the other's a more laid back, humble being. So them being "best friends" is highly unlikely. They were paid to act like best friends. That doesn't mean they are in reality.

I wouldn't call a Broadway workday (approx. three hours at most except on matinee days) a "ridiculous" amount of time to spend with another person. Most people spend a lot more time than that with their coworkers.

Though still significantly less than normal coworkers (lol), it is a bit more than three. If you figure they show up for the show a couple of hours before it begins, if they don't leave directly afterwards, the show itself is at least 2.5 hours...plus public appearances, interviews, etc etc...it's a good chunk of time. Plus the fact that they're in the spotlight together all this time...
