Idina Menzel's Tony Award Acceptance Speech

[jewey896]

I cant believe they lost their friendship over this :( its so saddd

[omnigeek13]

@jewey896 WHAAAAATTT?????????

seriously i have no idea what you are talking about, but the witches of wicked cant be over!

[BlueInfernian]

@jewey896 They didn't. Especially over a Tony. Kristin has her own Tony win from 'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown'. So I doubt any rift would be cause over it.

[sweetlollypoplips]

i think she sort of looks like the girl from glee lol

[krystenvance]

@sweetlollypoplips thats kind of funny considering she played rachels mother on glee. lol

[sweetlollypoplips]

@krystenvance hahaha..really?? yeah they're kinda similar hey..

[chrysteen]

taye seemed more happy and exciting about idina getting the award than idina herself! haha although that could just be her nerves and shock that she's feeling at the moment. either way, i love those 2 <3 truly one of hollywood & broadway's best and inspiring couple ever!

[ScribblesTheNinja]

That was so sweet!

[kirkyboipopoversion2]

She forgot to mention the author of Wicked, but other than that, she truly deserves it.

[omnigeek13]

@kirkyboipopoversion2 true, although there really is no connection between the book and the play, aside from names

[kirkyboipopoversion2]

@omnigeek13 Actually, most of the events in the play come from the book. They changed a lot of things, took out some parts, and decided on a different ending, but all in all, it was true to the idea of re-envisioning the Wicked Witch.

[omnigeek13]

@kirkyboipopoversion2

i honestly have a hard time seeing that, as they made nessa a powerless dependent personality disorder, actaully gave Glinda a great deal of depth, completely changed the Dillimond plot, removed the wizards and glindas power, gave elphie far too much power, completely eliminated Fiyero's family and actually made Elphaba humanlilke and likable. IN the book shes not wicked, but she's still a bitch. COmpletely different plot and story, just same charachters, but not really

[Singingmyheartout3]

she was the cutest thing ever receiving that award! Just sobbing all over the place and stammering. I love her!

[KellyLouiseYeahx]

ok, so i'm officially in love with her <3

[RozLaChimmer]

I love her little shout out to Kristin <3 No one deserves it more than Idina <3

[xxhalfbloodprincessx]

It's great how Tay's so proud he's crying.

[jmgarcia321]

i absolutely love that she bows after her acceptance speech

:)

[ANAsfee]

and how taye is reacting in the back :)

[Buttermonkey63]

[MariaGwn]

this is the cutest thing ever!

[jennie6789]

Taye is crying for her :) So cute!

[BwayDreamer1128]

I've never even seen Wicked or her before (i KNOW I'm so deprived!!!!!!) but oh my gosh she's so cute! She makes me wanna cry!

[Xno1X]

That was so amazing! I think everyone was like....OMG and stuff

And Taye had tears in his eyes

[Prolui]

Ohwow, that she seems very shaken, trying to get everything out while partially crying that looks like laughing - and her husband is like "WOAH THAT'S MY WIFE RIGHT THERE!" And then definitely some love for Kristen Chenowith. Haha, this was very touching.

[artsgirl07]

that has got to be one of the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard, GO IDINA!!!

[redlipstickx3]

I seriously watch this all the time. She totally deserved this! I love her speech, it's so touching and when she thanks Taye, oh god, you feel the tears

[HANNAHlovesBROADWAY]

I'll re-phrase that, I was crying the whole way through...

[Raven9940]

it really brings tears to your eyes when you know she deserved this. And to see her so happy is enough to make anyone fall in love with her. I'm so jealous of Taye!!!

[HANNAHlovesBROADWAY]

My god.

I had tears in my eyes when her name was read out..

I LOVE HER!! Arrrrghh :D

[SebastiansWickedGirl]

*Tear* *Tear* *Tear* *Sniff, Sniff* I am so proud of her! She has worked so hard to get where she is, and she is finally getting the recognition she deserves! She deserved that Tony the minute she stepped onto the Gershwin stage that opening night in October 2003! Good luck, Idina! We love you very much!

[pianogirl714]

i cry from happiness every time i watch this. she totally deserved that tony!

[redfoxfan]

Chenzel..

I can't find that anywhere...

[redfoxfan]

THANK YOU!

[beautifullytragic1]

Taye is so like "THAT'S MY WIFE!" And the whole way up there, Idina's just like "Keep it cool, keep it cool *gets onstage* OMG! THIS IS AWESOME!" Haha, I love you Idina. You are a hero worthy of high political stature.

[xxtinkerbell91xx]

[angelbcdef]

OMG, I love her so freaking much. She's too cute!

Go Dee! <3
