"Wicked" Stage Door Yesterday (Aug 25th) — Page 6

Im not justifying Idina at all, but I think she is uncomfortable with fans. She not that outgoing or whatever and doesnt know how to react, which comes off as rude wether it is or not.

When I went to Wicked in april we waited and by the time she came out only me and my two friends were there and she came out and we asked for pictures and she took one with me then one with my two friends. Then she started to get into her limo with Taye (who didnt stop) and i was like "you are such an inspiration..."blah blah and she just got into the limo without saying anything.

But the first time I went to Wicked in Jan, there were like 10 people there and Kristin came out and talked to each one of us for a few minutes like we were best friends, then she left, and Idina came out with Taye (it was after his last performance) and they both looked at us and waved and smiled then I finally was like "can i get a quick picture" and Taye was like "Oh man! Im so sorry we are already running really late for a party! I am so sorry!" then Idina actually looked geniounly sorry they didnt stop and was like "Bye guys! Im so sorry!"

So maybe shes hit or miss

"ok while I really don't even want to comment on this again b/c it is so ridiculous I do have one thing left that is really irritating me. Just in case all you theatre goers are confused buying a ticket to a show does not give you the right to an autograph. It only guarentees admission! The stage door bit is a courtesy that the actors provide to be nice - not because they have to. I mean last time you went to the movies were the actors there waiting afterards to sign your ticket stub? How about sitting at home watching TV? I don't know about you but somehow Jennifer Aniston must have lost her invite to my Friends season finale party. Those actors get paid a h*ll of a lot more than Broadway actors and they never provide these services. So next time you go to a broadway show don't flatter yourself into thinking that you deserve to meet the entire cast. If you get to great - if not - well perhaps try getting a life!" While i agree that it is stupid to think that simply getting a ticket garuntees you an autograph there is also a feel that theater is a very personal experience and that you can go backstage and at least try. But this is not about having the right to an autograph!! this is about common courtesy simply saying "Sorry Sweetie, i'm really busy. Thank you for comming though" would have done fine. The girl would have been sad but it sure as heck seems a lot better than SLAMMING A DOOR IN A TEN YEAR OLDS FACE!!! think about it!!! really think how you would feel in that situation

That's what I am saying. She doesn't need an autograph, but I think that the door slamming itself was unacceptable.

How about "Later, sweetie" and run into the dressing room? Well, that's better than SLAM!

LOL!!

You know what, I bet you are right.

It's times like these I wonder if the actors, in this case Idina, ever reads threads like this. Damaging and yet hillarious. Keeps me entertained for hours!

dont you think shed have something better to do than post here under an assumed name? if she does, the least she can do is use her own name, like marc shaiman.

And what would make her that much "better" than all of us, Yankee?

---

i never said that. despite how high an adrenaline rush she may have, y would she read something like this, where there are people who may criticize her performance? now, ive never seen her in anything, so i cant make a judgement, but others can. there are the people who like her and those who dont. why would she want to see it?

Some people (and I'm not saying that she is, but for argument's sake) are quite narcissistic and would really get off on reading all about themselves, good or bad. Imagine what an ego boost it would be to see all these posts about YOU!!

Perhaps not Idina, but others...

And thanks notsovirgin for more laughter!

You know Rath, I hadnt exactly thought of that... but I wonder how many DO read these. Its true that they are usually up till 3 or so.
That could explain why she can be so rude at times.... she sees people trashing her attitude! I know I would be hesistant to be as friendly if people were ALWAYS talking about me or in my face.
