Alright this might be long because this is going to be an honest post of how I feel on this topic.
1. All these really really crazy Idina people-why do you fixate on her? Is it because you are not happy with your own life and so you feel the need to live somewhat vicariously through her?
Also, I do not think going "OMG you're Idina Menzel" qualifies one to be in this category as that is just excitement. It's fine to love someone a lot and be their fan and be excited to see them-just don't revolve your life around theirs.
2. In regards to all performers @ the stage door, I think it sucks as* if people aren't gracious enough to appreciate their "fans" and just indicates a lack of respect for the people who support them. (extenuating circumstances excluded, obviosuly) No one owes anyone anything but I would think performers owe it to themselves to act diplomatically at the stage door just like they would have to every moment of their lives if they finally achieved the celebrity status many of them yearn for.
In stage door interactions it is both parties duty to act respectfuly, however I see more leniency on the side of the fan b/c they are just a fan while the performer supposedly is a professional.
"I guess she is one very confident girl who feels if you see it, it shall be.
I hope she sees a room with a piano player and a bunch of scary middle-aged queens sitting behind a table, talking to each other as she auditions!!"
