dissapointed idina @ stagedoor — Page 6

I just wanna say that I think that some people here are rude and at times can be mean. I'm not saying anyone or anything in particular, but reading some of these messages makes me wonder why do we even have these boards if people are just gonna be mean and just shot down other people and their views. People need to just calm down and not attack someone for their views nor mistakes...like misspelling of someone's name or correct info. We are all here to express our feelings and love of musical theatre, pity little things shouldn't matter.That's all..i'm sure I'll get something about this....

If slightly garbled, poorly written and using a childlike vocabulary with very little insight into the situation.

Other than that though, well done.

I think that was sarcasm before, actually.

But you are right.

i just want to add that idina is a person! if she is pissed about something before the show and goes on and does a great job - there's good acting (and that is what costs 100 dollars)! if she is still pissed after the show - then let her be, she's only human. From 8:07 - 10:47, Idina is Elphaba. Before that and after that, she is Idina. She owes nothing to the world and does give autogrpahs and takes photos because she is a nice person.

People seem to confuse the fact that, an actor can innatley (ummm?) be a b*tch. But when they are on the stage, they ARE the character.

With that said, i got an autograph from idina because some one yelled out her name as she was getting into her car (the group was kind of off to the side). She got out and signed the autographs.

I think my main point is that her life is in question and by subjecting herself to strangers on the street she is subjecting herself to her hypothetical murderer.

Now that was well said! I've been here a year and a half and I must say I have seen a lot of your kind come and go.

If you want to stick around here you're going to have to learn to adjust to what the present climate is.

It isn't going to change due to the simple fact that people don't suddenly do a one eighty personality wise without medication.

No dear that was not for you. That was basically open to anyone who fits the description.

...do I know you? (no offense)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I remember now! Hey, sorry about that! Tell me in PM's how that worked out for ya.

Belterboi, check out every post from every WICKED fan and you'll see where a lot of people are coming from. Actually, just look at the TO ALL NEW BWW MEMBERS thread - it explains a lot.

Mainly, people are just pissed off at the following:

1) WICKED fans' unquestioning adoration of the show and its stars, which in many cases is bordering on serious obsession.

2) Said fans' refusal to believe that anything else could POSSIBLY be as good as WICKED, despite never having seen/heard another show & being unable to give sane reasons as to WHY nothing can compare to WICKED (only reason given being along the lines of "Because it's the best!", which is swiftly followed with childish rantings when we point out that isn't actually a reason).

3) Linked to 2 - said fans' refusal to actually EXPERIENCE any other theatre, despite them claiming to now be huge musical theatre fans.

4) The fact that 90% of these questions and discussions (esp about Idina & stagedoors) have been posted 100 times before but no-one seems to know how to use the search function.

5) (And this is me being petty. but I think it's allowed as I know a number of dyslexic/partially-sighted people who are affected by things like this). The APPALLING grammar & spelling used by lots of WICKED posters (this is probably in direct corrolation to their ages), which in many cases is the result of either pure laziness or the refusal to use anything other than text language.

Good point In the Money, thanks

I love it when people do not recognize sarcasm...yet another sympton of the Wicked affliction...

Thats cool!
