  • Oh! And how she sings!

  • I love how she tells that story!

  • I knew as soon as she said the word "substitute" that SOMETHING was about to go wrong. lol.

  • No it was all the way down already so when she stepped there she fell

  • i don't understand, what actually happened, did the trap door go down too quickly?

  • I like the fact that Idina can get a case of sailor mouth.

  • my fave lines:

    "like we're doing fucking lamaze!!"

    "oh you dont look so good"

    "rip this fucker off.. i fell through a god damn whole! like i give a shit!!"

    "who fucking cares! these guys are making a shit load of money!"

    "heeeeeeey" :D

    L.M.A.O!!!!!!!! XD

  • "*ahem* Um...um, um, um, okay, what happens, so, so, so, I-I died, I'm dying in the show, and I-I'm melting in the show and I melted. That's how I describe it. I was melting and I melted." XD She is so awesome

  • Lol, love her xD <3

  • WOOOO

    at the end she says

    "and then i get to go in the rent movie"

    ahahaha i love her in this i always watch it when im in a bad mood and she always makes me laugh :)

  • haha oh bless the way she tells this story makes me laugh everytime

  • what did she say to jennifer? 2:48-2:51??

  • @megangalinda123

    she said "please whatever you do don't let them take a picture of me"

  • @megangalinda123 "Please, whatever you do, don't let them take a picture of me." Haha. She's so hilarious.

  • where is she tellling this story?

  • @berube4life A concert. Maybe Nashville or Atlanta.

  • That is uncorrect information...standbys have to be ready in costume in makeup the whole ten yards before the show ever starts. that's the point of a stand by. they are always there. that's the reason they get paid. shoshana bean was idina's standby she was ready to go. the reason they stopped for 45 min was to make sure that everything was safe for the actors and actresses to go back on stage. it takes a lot of things to prep for that show!

  • @btoolie Not exactly. Standbys aren't in costume & make-up unless there is an indication that the principal may have to leave the show. True, they are backstage waiting just in case, however they don't get ready unless there is a real chance they will have to go on.

    Most standbys usually leave before the show is even over to be honest.

    It took 45 minutes because of the fact that Idina had to go to the hospital.

  • @btoolie Actually that's incorrect, they have to be at the theatre or in a certain distance and in constant contact but they don't get dressed and do the green makeup on the standby every night. They are just always available to go on and that way they don't have to take off ensemble stuff they can go ahead and put the green makeup on her.

  • iv always wondered how that show kept going after she left that night. considering it takes over half an hour just for the green makeup i dont think they could have gotten her standby redy in time so if any1 knows plz tell me

  • i think that standbys are supposed to be prepared and ready to go on at any time. She probably had the make up on already. Isn't that the purpose of the standby ... to be prepared to go on at any time in case they have to?

  • that probs makes sense but i since found out that they actually had to stop the show for 45 minutes while they got the standby ready who was luckily nearby with friends at a cafe at the time.

  • really interesting i didn't know that! I thought they just had to be ready all the time

  • normally they have to be availale but not ther but they were being a little slack cause noone really expects anythin wrong to happen to the lead on her last couple of nights.

  • what does she say after don't feel bad for her that makes everyone start dying of laughter??

  • and dont feel bad for me

  • iamamzaing1234 -- they have a son.. His name is Walker Nathaniel Diggs and he was born Sept. 2

  • I laugh every single time I hear this.

  • She is great. Wonderful sense of humor and great story teller as well as being beautiful and a wonderful singer and performer.

  • No matter how many times I watch this, it's still funny! XD

    I love that "Heeeeeeeeey" at the end! XD

  • @rubyqueen808 all the time when im out somewhere i will randomly start thinking about the way Idina says "heeeeeeeeey" and i crack up all over again! she is wonderful =)

  • I

    Love

    Idina

    Menzel!

  • This is the most awesome story I've heard in forever!

  • people! please just stop being negative towards each other! i dont see why everybody feels the need to verbally abuse other people who they dont even know, just because they share their opinions and you have different ones.

    ~Jennie

  • who went on for curtain call????

  • i think sho?

  • Shoshana Bean did. Sho was the standby for Idina at the time and the show was halted for forty minutes so she could get into costume and finish up the last scene while Idina was taken to the hospital.

  • did her arms come off?

  • Idina Menzel is the only one who can make a serious story like this sound funny, haha..I love her soooo bad!!

  • hahahahaha i love her. "you don't look so good." ...yah like i never heard that one. =]]

  • "It's twenty thousand dollars, but who cares!? These guys are making a shit load of money!"

    Hahaha. I love Idina.

  • I would love to meet her but when she cussed i was like O M WORD! I didnt expect that. yikes.

  • lmao i love her!:p

  • she's amazing. and she tells it so vividly. and she's hillarious. it was so great of her to make a curtain call at the last performance. she's amazing. taye is a very lucky man to have her. their perfect together. we love oyu idina!

  • haha the EMS guys were all "you dont look so good." hahha wow. thats the best

  • OK first of all, learn to spell Idina name correctly. It's IDINA not Indina. Secondly, it's OK for you to have your views and opinions, however if they are rude and discriminative, don't. If you don't like IDINA swearing, don't listen to it. If you don't like people playing lesbians in movies, don't watch them and if you don't like people being rude to you, don't be rude to them.

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! wow i love her

  • i feel so bad laughing, but IDINA MENZEL IS SO FUNNY!!!! i wish we could see the visuals!!! she's like superwoman!!!!

  • i love her shes so cool

  • <3 her

    :0]

  • AHHHHHHHH NO MORE RELIGION!

  • Idina. Is. A. Legend.

  • its funny okay!! lol LOVE YOU IDINA!!!!!!!!!

  • when did she fall through?

  • I wish I could have seen Idina! =( My mom went to see Wicked with Idina in it like 3 years ago, but when I went, it was someone else. Go Elphie! =)

  • Idina is SOOO FUNNY!!!!!

  • Funniest thing ever!

  • What does she say around 1.20, somthing about the woman being a substitute, doing the best she can...then in a small voice, it sounds like "i know her", but i cant figure it...

    anyone know??

  • i think she says something like "I dont feel bad for her"

  • yahssis : I totally understand why you would have difficulties with Idina using bad language, as Christian I also would prefer if people generally didn't swear, but they do. for you to bring Idina's character of Maureen isn't only completely pointless, but you're giving the impression that you are judging Idina and I don't believe you have the authority to do that. you may not agree with everything she says/does but you should love her anyway.

  • Amen to that!

  • Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    I would think as a "Christian" you would live this commandment of God rather than determining that those who use crude language have no "morals and values" or judging those who live alternative lifestyles than yours.

  • We are to not use unrighteous judgments. In other words we are supposed to judge potential actions for ourselves in order to live the word of God. It is not our job to judge the actions of others, that is entirely the territory of God. Again, "the poor language goes with the territory," pure judgment not only of Idina Menzel but of the majority of people in the world who are not bad or wicked or going to Hell. Might I direct you to Matthew 7:3.

  • by their fruits...

  • I think the same can be applied to you.

  • it doesn't often happen, but I cannot think of words to describe what I'm feeling right now. while you're having a go at Idina Menzel for not honouring God, it seems to be that you're not honouring Him either! yes as Christians we should be aware of what is right and wrong, but to make sweeping statements and to slight another person's character is hardly following in Jesus' footsteps.

  • U have problems. XD

  • Cuss words are just that: words. Take an "I don't give a damn" pill and GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While you're at it, think about how God would want you to treat Idina. It doesn't matter if Idina is born-again or not. God made her, and He still loves her, no matter what. He would want us to love her, too. You have faults of your own, but God still loves you. Think about that the next time you start to judge someone!

  • Take a chill pill bitch.

  • You go, IcePrincessG! Thanks so much!

  • U r so welcome. =)

  • ok when you're quoting that Scripture, apply it to your life. living out your faith isn't about judging people and putting them down, there is a way of compassionately encouraging in what you consider the right way to live. take the plank out of your eye. Idina has stated on other occasions that she's looking for something, and I'm praying she'll find Peace. but I also pray that negativity from people like you doesn't put her off.

  • I'm assuming that, despite some strange ideas that you're a follower of Christ. now, if you read your Bible you'll see that Jesus not only tolerated but befriended prostitutes, thieving tax collectors, and even had compassion on the man who he knew would be responsible for handing him over to be executed. while you shouldn't have to tolerate other people's rudeness, neither should they have to tolerate yours.

  • well I'm sure Idina didn't mean to be rude or offend you either.

  • Then let it go! U really need to chill out! U really can't do a good job of following what people are trying to say 2 u. Since when did religion become an issue here?! Just because someone swears doesn't mean that they will be doomed to eternal damnation! D=<

  • And this one. Therefore, they can do what they feel is right and not what someone else says is right. There is a little something called morals. Don't know if you've ever heard of it, but people use them to decide what is right from wrong. If you have certain views and opinions, don't express them in a rude way and please, be more open minded.

  • I'm carrying this on from the last message. I am a Catholic so I know that there are certain things in that some religions are against, like swearing and being a lesbian, but there are different religions and different cultures. You have to be a bit more open minded and think about all those who don't have a religion.

  • Ok fine. You're not religious ("but I spend my time reading and quoting from the bible") Whatever. Why don't you just stop wasting your time trying to argue with everyone. I'm not going to reply to anything else that you send me so don't reply.

  • lol I totally agree!!

  • Not everyone is super religeous..

  • Well, someone really got the message that RENT was trying to send, didn't they? You shouldn't apologize for your opinions, but some things in this world are not worth worrying yourself over. Believe me. Loving people is a lot better than criticizing them and getting all upset over one little flaw.

  • i would have loved to have seen her telling this story...great story

  • i just had a really sucky day and i just watched this.  im laughing so hard. I love idina! i feel a little better now

  • love idina!<333 she is my idol,no doubt!

  • She is SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! Idina is awesome!!!!!

  • I know you don't like cussing & I respect that, but get over it. Idina is who she is & she likes her cuss words. That's one of the things I love most about her. She doesn't try to be perfect & she doesn't try to be someone she's not. She is who she is. She's a human being. She's allowed to have some flaws. Let the woman be herself. Don't criticize her. If she met you, she may not particularly like some of the things you say and do. Life is better when we learn to love everyone for who they are.

  • U go SebastiansWGirl! =D

  • dude you take yourself wayyyyyy to seriously! so what if idina swears...its a part of her character and shes obviously not ashamed of it...shes in the eye of the public and she still swears...shes just being true to herself! and the story is fucking hilarious! just get over yourself!

  • Hilarious (after the fact, of course)!

    ~Jennie

  • she's so cute! i love her

  • That is pretty damn funny...god I love Idina!

  • they told everyone what happened when she came out because her and her standby came out... they let everyone know what was going on. :D

  • i wish that we could see what you were doing but i loved it some parts were so funny i love you idina

  • who cares if she cusses dude....shes freakin awesome!!! foul language builds character! i absoutely love this story. i laugh everytime...idina is without a doubt my absolute favorite broadway actress. she's my idol!! lol

  • it most certainly does! and i love that she isnt ashamed of her potty mouth! it takes confidence to do that especially when youre in the eye of the public!

  • Guess what? U r a bastard! Gonna complain about me 2?! Huh shitbag?!

  • U r so immature. U seem like u r like 8 years old. At my skool, kids swear all the time and NO ONE CARES! Look around Youtube. There's swearing everywhere. Live with it.

  • Whoop de doo da da. Whatever. U mother fucker. =P

  • well nobody finds you entertaining or humorous at all! they just see you as an uptight prude!

  • haha how pathetic its just a swear word

  • omg i think its hilarious. Theres nothing bad about it.

  • now your making me seem like the bad person.

    NO i dont use any of that "Foul Language". and NO i dont hang with people who do.I dont think so. I think it adds to the humor. I didnt say it was funny she fell. It was funny how she told the story. dont give me that "Sheesh" its so...And by the way yes I have. Im actually very clumsy.

  • Dear, you're living in a dream world. In this one, like it or not, we swear. I don't encourage it but critising and judging everyone who uses "foul language" isn't going do anything, as IcePrincessG has demonstrated.

  • Hi! =D

  • I applaud you for writing what you did on a place where there are hundreds of Idina fans. I'm all for limited cussing...I've cussed once in my lifetime and that was when I was singing Hairspray. Anyway although in every interview I hear of her she is cussing, she's an adult and it almost makes her more "humanized." Meaning more personable...and more like you and me.

  • she can swear if she wants to! shes idina menzel for fucks sake!

  • That sucks!

  • My fellow Ozians,

    I LOVE IDINA MENZEL!!!

  • Where was she saying this?

  • this is so fucking funny i love her

  • but was she still green when she left hospital??!!! :p

  • haha. that'd be SO FUNNY!

  • haha. that'd be SO FUNNY!

  • if they were smart they would hav her do her last preformance formally!

  • Well Shoshana Bean (replacement and standby for Idina) took over the role of Elphaba the day of her last show. She played the part mostly and her last scene she was onstage was when she melted. When Fiyero opened the trap, Shoshana didn't come out. Idina came out in a Red Track Suit. At Curtain Call, Joe Mantello made a very special speech for her and went out the Stage DOor for the last time.
