Posted: 12/28/04 at 4:18pmI 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.

Posted: 12/28/04 at 5:20pmMy whole point is not to be rude. I don't care too much about poor spelling or grammar. I would love to meet Idina. If I had the opporunity to go see Wicked, I would definitely wait outside to get her autograph. But I would wait politely. I would not scream. I would act like a rational person. And if, for whatever reason I din't get an autograph, I'd say, "Well damn" and go on about my life without thinking Idina had personally wronged me. Fans are great. Stalkers are not.

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.

Posted: 12/28/04 at 6:14pmI 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.

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.

You peple are all wrong.
Wicked IS the best show ever. All myfriends say that too. So maybe you just don't know. And why should I see anything else when Wikced is the best? Why mess ith rest when you have the best, right?
So w/e you all are just jealous
oh, yeah, and, like, when is Idina gonna start signing autographs? And who do you think should replace idina? and isn't Defying Gravity the best song ever> I like nominated it be my class song, but nobody else had ever heard it and they wanted something else, So I was all like w/e.. you guyz just don't know. And after the vote was taken we had picked Defying Gravity and I ws soo happy and all my friends said that it was because evrybody could see how much I loved theater (esp WICKED)!
So later losers..

I waited for Idina when I went to NY and saw the show...in fact I waited after the show TWICE and to no avail. I wrote a letter to her instead and yesterday received a nice 5x7 color signed picture of her in Defying Gravity. Yay!
I would have loved to meet her, but what's better, getting crushed with all the screaming fans and attempting to get a picture with her with a silver bar planted against your chest, along with a scribble of an auto, or getting a cool picture with her signature in the mail?
Well, some people would rather meet her, but I'll take the consolation prize anyday. :) Hopefully she'll be in another show soon where I can try again.
