Asthma's no picnic. It's incredible the heights she has reached even with asthma, so lay off! I wouldn't have noticed it if THERE WEREN'T SO MANY DARN COMMENTS ABOUT IT!!!!!
Over and over again about her and her asthma.... I have seen her several times - this was the wrongdoing of the sound person - because this was and has been the only time I have ever heard the gasping..... She is incredible, why cant people just watch and listen to the videos and if you dont enjoy it - MOVE ON !!!!!
You know, I get that this is a hard song, and their being wached by millions. But this is the Tony's the best of the best, stage fright is no excuse for hyperventilating with every breath you take. Oh and ya my spelling sucks deal with it.
@cats2234 i don't think it has anything to do with stage fright...she is in character who has jut been pronounced a wicked witch and is terrified and has seen her entire life just come crashing down around her
Well when singers have asthma they are able to calm it down by running and working the lungs out...she was fine for the shows....it's just think if you are under all of that pressure being watched by millions.....and this was HER nomination she was soooo excited yet scared......I would be too.....it happens to everyone...she is still amazing
I never wanted to see Wicked until I sang "For Good" in 8th grade in chorus. Then I saw it in 8th grade with my chorus and it was SO awesome and I wanted to see it on Broadway but Idina and Kristin were no longer in it!
@seandeaon That's only because Wicked is easy to cast for. Avenue Q requires people who are able to sing, dance, act, Muppeteer (puppeteering is different), and play at least 3 characters simultaneously. Unfortunately, many people with those kinds of talents can only be found on Sesame Street (which is where all the original Broadway puppeteers came from for Avenue Q). And not all of them want to do 8 shows a week in NYC. Wicked only requires people who can sing, dance, and act.
@seandeaon Plenty of incredible musicals that have one Best Musical Tonys are not on Broadway for as long as tourist attracting shows like Wicked are. How long a show runs for really doesn't in all cases make it a better show than shows that don't run for as long. In my opinion Avenue Q deserved Best Musical in 2004, and I'm glad that it beat Wicked.
@cheerleader5293 That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But for me, the greatest musicals are the ones that run the longest and are remembered by the most people. And as far as I’m concerned, Wicked has already reached this goal and is known by more people outside of NY than Avenue Q is. Wicked will one day stand with other great musicals like Cats, Les Miserables, and the Phantom of the Opera, where as the memory of Avanue Q is already beginning to fade away.
@seandeaon A show's quality can't always be determined by its run-time. Most of those shows you listed have only run so long because they're tourist attractions (and 3 of them were written by the same guy who everyone associates with Broadway). True, the crappy shows usually close very quickly. But there have been plenty of shows that have closed before their time (usually suffering death by movie release/pop star). BTW, Avenue Q didn't close; it just moved off-Broadway for a little while.
Because of Idina and this Broadway play, I have made it my life goal and dream to be a broadway actress and hopefully someday perform as Elphaba, I would love to meet Idina just to thank her for all the ispiration she has been for me and for her just being an amazing person in general... GO IDINA KEEP DEFYING GRAVITY!!
My personal opinion is. Really! I love Idina Menzel! I do! I like her! She is good. But not for Wicked. I mean to get someone that has asthma is not a clever idea. And the "Wicked" songs are until now, one of the hardest songs to sing in the musical repertoire. I love the musical. I've seen it 12 times. But Idina Menzel is not perfect for this rool. I feel bad for her to. Getting an asthma attack almost every night. Look at the germans, Willemijn! She is a healthy (strong) sinnging elphaba!:)
@mikespik1 The sad thing is that, when performers get casted, they are perfectly healthy at the time. But just like the case of the wonderful Tonya Perkins performance of Caroline or Change (which competed with Wicked), Tonya was casted when she was healthy, but damaged her voice singing weeks of sung-through dialogue. I don't believe Idina had the sickness when she was casted. Belting high notes 8 times a week is bound to damage the voice within months.
Idina Menzel is incredible. I'm totally in love with her. I hope when the movie version is made that Idina and Christin play their roles together again.
i love this vid, its so hard to find actual footage of wicked, and god knows that i might never ge to see kristin and idina in wicked, being a 14 year old in pennsylvania. I absolutely love it. One quick question. what is on kristin's forehead? there's this bmp or somethin and it's driving me crazy
@naatanpink Not nervous- she was having breathing problems before the performance but went on stage anyway. Speaking as an asthmatic, that's an asthma problem she's having. It's very distinct when you inhale like she was.
This is one of the greatest musicals ever created. I usually prefer the rock musicals but this is one of the first musicals I ever loved. LOVE YOU IDINA!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the worst performance of Idina I've seen, but it's still not bad. She just needs to go with the music more (You can tell that either the pit is trying to keep up with her or vice versa)
oh god....that performance was not very good. i LOVE Idina, but she really doesn't fit that role. like i saw Eden perform a bunch of times and she was way better than at Idina was, at least at this performance. i don't know if she was nervous or something, but.....no.....just no.
@jbw612 She was sick this year at the Tony's. But I agree, I've loved everyone that I've seen play Elphaba....Eden, Shoshana, Lisa, etc....they are all fantastic! Better than I could sing it!
@Arroyo2099 because glinda knows she does not have power like ELPHABA. and she thinks she has to stay for fiyero as well. she is scared to become "wicked" and is affarid peoupe wount love her anymore. but she relises twords the end that the only person who really loved her was Elphaba
shes very good and I do not think anyone can comment but this is an amazing performance she is so talented and such a good singer and actress I have the album and adore her and Kristen they are amazing and I live in Australia
This performance has inspired me so much through out my life it taught me that i could change what people thought of me, as some stupid special ed kid, into one of the biggest brains ever in middle school that's right and i have to thank Idina and Kristien for it. I plan to thank kristien in purpose in a couple weeks.
Go Idina. Not even an asthma attack can get her of stage. :)) It´s amazing that she can even sing, I´m very impressed!! And sing VERY good too. All thumbs up.
good lord this song makes my heart race every single time. love it. Idina and Kristin were my two favorites to perform this song, ever. The other girls who followed are good, don't get me wrong...but I'll always have a soft spot for these two.....
Oh the real version is always better. People who like this song on Glee should hear the Wicked version. I never got tired of this song. Number one on my iPod!
I'm just throwing this out as a possibility, but I don't think Idina had an asthma attack. It might be possible that the microphones were too good of quality and it picked up every little thing Idina said and did. You have to think of how she has to really sing out to get all those notes out there to everyone. You really have to get in big breath to power your way through those notes. I dunno, I could be just saying stuff, but oh well. :}
She had an asthma attack about fifteen mintues before the performance. I have seen the production seven times, twice with her and she has a much better voice than that. She has an incredible talent, and who can sing a song of that calliber after that?
to be honest i did'nt the gasps until you commented it, i just love idina menzels voice, almost wish they'd make a wicked, the movie - starring Idina and Kirsten :)
@dwea89 From what i hear and have read your wish is coming true next year with Idina and Kristen taking their rightful roles.
Here in Aus we finally got this musical at the end of last year although id been in love with it since it first came out on broadway.I had to wait years for it so i really cant wait for the movie.yay.
@Skelington48, the gasping was because poor Idina was sick, I think she can be excused for beeing a little off form. She still gave a brilliant performance given the circumstances.
You can see her struggle to hit those high notes at the end but w/e. The rest is amazing - especially when her and Kristin sing together it's just magic.
does she always make that sounds when she takes breaths? I understand it takes a lot to sing like that, but I dont know if she does that all the time???
I agree. I never understood why Idina has such bad breath support, she has a vocal coach so her teacher should have taught have taught her about support lol.

The reason she was gasping like that was because she had and asthma attack before she was supposed to perform

to be honest i did'nt the gasps until you commented it, i just love idina menzels voice, almost wish they'd make a wicked, the movie - starring Idina and Kirsten :)

@dwea89 From what i hear and have read your wish is coming true next year with Idina and Kristen taking their rightful roles.
Here in Aus we finally got this musical at the end of last year although id been in love with it since it first came out on broadway.I had to wait years for it so i really cant wait for the movie.yay.

@Skelington48, the gasping was because poor Idina was sick, I think she can be excused for beeing a little off form. She still gave a brilliant performance given the circumstances.

@masterscruf I don't know that I agree.
You can see her struggle to hit those high notes at the end but w/e. The rest is amazing - especially when her and Kristin sing together it's just magic.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
A lot of singers have asthma, it's no excuse to gasp! I'm in love with Idinas voice extremely but not the gasps in between lol.

I agree. I never understood why Idina has such bad breath support, she has a vocal coach so her teacher should have taught have taught her about support lol.
