"Hey Joey McIntyre, is there a balcony in Madison Square Garden? Joey knows his venues a little better than me. That's okay...I have a bigger part on broadway...:)" -Idina Menzel
She has freaked me out from day one with the Idina Hands. And the way she does it at the end of Defying Gravity (this sudden stretching) just creeps me out.
I think the Defying Gravity hands are really an 'Elphaba thing'. I saw Shoshana yesterday and I was worried about my health, that's how she threw her hands around.

'He really wasn't good as Fieyro. Is it just me or does he sort of come across as a pimp? Just...the hand motions I've seen him do and the attitude..not that Taye is a pimp.' - SallyBrown on Taye Diggs as Fiyero
haha very cool!Shes got her own thing going on thats what makes her so original!You're right some things never DO change...
"I?ve been singing since I was born.
It?s something I do everywhere I go.
In the shower, walking down the street.
I don?t need any impetus to do it.
I just sing." - Idina Menzel

Okay, maybe you jews do use your hands to speak, but it seems that Idina uses them to make up for what she's lacking in the acting department. *here! if I put my hands out like this and move them around it shows intensity!*
"If you are going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy."-Charlie Manson
Lots of Maureens wave their hands. I wonder if they do it because they picked it up from Idina's performance and it just became a Maureenism, or they do it because Maureen's just nuts.
