[angelannarocks]

Did she finish the show? I never heard about this before! Such an interesting story!

[Sheblet]

Her voice <3

[CrepesSuzetteGirl]

That awkward moment when you FINALLY realize that Idina has her arms wrapped around herself.

[KieraJessicaMarchant]

RIP THIS FUCKED OFF <3

[girgirl99]

[Hanniekinz]

[dougabc123]

Idina Rocks!

[wicked4564]

[Columbiabaybee]

[Thriller0404]

aaahhhhh i love her voice!!! aaahh im melting lol

[Thriller0404]

aaahhhhh i love her voice!!!

[assilemisawesome]

Loved when she said that Taye said: 'what clothes? she came in a witch's costume?' roflmao. 14 people disliked this?! Did they not like the story? the pictures? or they meant they dislike that this happened to her?

[TheIlluminatus503]

I did an audio double take when she said "fucking Lamaze!"

[zunnibug23]

in the first images it looks like she has no arms..... that kinda freaked me out.... is that real?

[EllaForTheAges]

HAHA I love her!

[Jellyapple67]

Happy birthday, Idina

[AllStar1224]

Where did she told that? It's hilarious!

[CheekyThrill]

LMAO. Does anyone know where we can see the video of this?

[MsSamCam13]

when did she say this?

[Ariskere]

how dare you dislike

[TVBProductions]

14 people have had this happen to them.

[SMurphy810]

And I go "Ahh melting"

[DharmaLady15]

Hhahaha she's fucking hilarious

[KristinandIdinagirl]

This is the best video on youtube. But I do hate trapdoors.

[dibbydibby2x4]

wait so because of this accident she's never doing 'Wicked' again?

[TVBProductions]

@dibbydibby2x4 no, she had already decided not to do it anymore, and it was supposed to be her second last performance.

[Tippy2forU]

The reason why the ‘black’ women in the hospital ignored her is that she is married to Taye Diggs. If she were black I think it would have gone different. She is the typical ‘non black’ to marry a black man; black women don’t care for that too much. Taye Diggs is attractive to black women. I don’t care for him but he is well like by black women. Why does the nurse have to be the ‘black nurse’? Beautiful she is not.

[DanieXJ]

@Tippy2forU I don't know, I think that there are a boatload of not black women who woulda totally ignored Idina for Taye Diggs... heh... Course, there are an equal number of women or men who would have ignored Diggs and been like 'Ms. Menzel, what do you need, blood, an organ' ;)

[pilchard96]

stunningly beautiful, exceedingly talented and fucking hilarious? Jealousy...

[Iloveorliandwicked]

She's got part of Elphaba in her

[purgurl91]

@Iloveorliandwicked There's an interview where she says that since she got to be such a big part in the construction of the character they reflected parts of her in Elphaba. I think that's true, they both seem to be strong, talented and intelligent women.

[pertty247]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! OMG I LOVE HER!!!!!!

[teenprincezz]

ahhhhh im melting!!!!!!!

[peacelovetheaterxoxo]

Shes so damn cute:)

[PhillyGirl1]

wait she fell in a hole, right? and hurt her ribs? I cant tell exactly what she is saying.

[Fabala1246]

@PhillyGirl1  Yeah the trap door thing went wrong

[CurvesRsexy08]

@PhillyGirl1 she fell through the hole when its the melting scene and broke a lower rib

[maryalice111]

What clothes she came in a witches costume??! XD LMFAO

[drygravity795]

omg she tokd this story at her concert on nov. 7 not planned at all it was so funny:)

[GorgeousDee100]

" And I'm just like heyyyyy! " ;D

[xopinkmoonxo]

rofl okay all of you - if you are going to be true Idina fans you have to know that she swears A LOT. It's part of her charm.

[jls302]

"Just rip this fucker off!!!"...""So she saved the dress, over my broken back" xD I LOVE Idina so much, she is just Hilarious!!!!!

[EntertainmentAddams]

did they have to bring on the understudy or stop the show????

[briestoll]

@EntertainmentAddams well, that nights part for Elphy what over but the next night was the understudy .

[leftofcentrstage]

@EntertainmentAddams they brought on her understudy 

[AeriaGl0ris]

If she's naturally this peppy, I SO want to get her to OD on caffeine and see what happens. Because I bet the results would be comdey gold!

[Jellyapple67]

Happy belated to her son

[JedediahForeverMD]

wow listen to her go...i dont even know what lamaz is...

[abbyrocks100]

@JedediahForeverMD lamaz is the breathing exersises a woman uses when she is in labor

[JedediahForeverMD]

@abbyrocks100 sorry i asked...

[JesusSaves017]

her voice is soooo cute!!!!

[sportsgirl000]

I had the opportunity to see Idina as Elphaba three times on B'way (AWESOME!) including her last show in which she suffered the injury. I was in the orchestra about 13 rows back and it was a bit of a surreal experience. You could hear Idina and then the stage hands yelling things like "is there blood?" and poor Jennifer Laura Thompson was stuck out on stage in front of the curtain for several minutes. Crazy.

Thankfully, I got to see her about 15 months later in the West End (London) tour!

[KristinandIdinagirl]

@sportsgirl000 I have a question. I'm not trying to be mean but why did you stay to watch the end of the show instead of going to the hospital? Besides that if I was there I would have been scared as if it was my mother I really love Idina.

[Shadowlongloner]

@sportsgirl000 haha sounds like it. Poor Jennifer Laura Thompson…

[JamesDurbins1stfan]

@sportsgirl000 You lucky Booger!!!!!! The first time I saw wicked was when it came to my town during broadway across America, with Mamie Parris playing Elphaba. She was amazing, and I will always have a place in my heart for her, but I would have LOVED to see her live!!! LUCKY!!!!!!!!!

[lilsis]

the reason she stopped playing Elphaba was because of the injury??? :( I'm so sad that I wasn't/won't see her in Wicked :( i love her

[MsFranfan]

@lilsis she didnt stop because of the injury

i think its cu she got cslled back to rent

[icheyennelove]

potty mouth

[hearingisoverrated93]

@icheyennelove

during her call back when she was auditioning for wicked, her voice cracked on the high note for 'defying gravity' and swore in the middle of the song. the directors thought it was a very 'witchy' reaction

[JedediahForeverMD]

@hearingisoverrated93 WOW is there a vid of that??

[KristinandIdinagirl]

@hearingisoverrated93 That is so cool. I already knew that so why am I commenting.

[DarkAmbellina]

goodness I didn't know she had a potty mouth!

[ilovelorraine]

What does she say at 3:00?

[TheMegatwilightsaga]

@ilovelorraine She said something like "The stupid paramedic guys were cracking jokes like "Oh, you don't look to good""

[leftofcentrstage]

@ilovelorraine "the stupid EMS guy said "you dont look so good"

[carlyndegreat]

I love her. Shes awesome!

[NathanMan100]

I laughed sooo hard during this. She tells good stories.

[Seagazer81892]

Rip this fucker off! XD Who cares about a $20,000 dress?

[luvhelmet]

This is so great! Where was this when she's telling the story?

[opticalworld]

Aw. it's soo sad that she left wicked :( i guess i wont be able to see her anymore.

[SarahMcCourtxx]

I love her !

[hmksprouse]

What is this from?

[oElphabao]

Hahaha she's fuckin hilarious. If it's possible, I love her even more now after listening to this.

[Me2unique]

lmfao!!!! idina menzel sounds sooo fucken cute when she sais "it feels like im doing fucken lamaz!!!!" "i flipped this fucker off!!!!" "who cares he makes a shit load of money!!!!"

[Avyiaon]

Yes it was already down under the stage they have different buttons, for the lifts they have one for when people are getting on from under the stage and one for when they are getting off from the top of the stage, the sub pussed the wrong button so the lift went down faster then Idina had expected and she landed kinda half on the stage and her legs were in the hole.

[EVILCHEESE56]

Ok. Was it already down, so she fell in the hole? I don't understand

Erica

[moviefreek234]

[Jules8894]

[nerdygirl33]

OMG I would LOVE to see Idina high on morphene!!!!!!!! (sp?)

[xoTossTossxo]

who fuckin cares those guys are making a shit load of money!!

[Disneydanny]

I think they should have a protocol in place for the trap door where it can't go down unless someone is standing on it

[TaylorJonasLover]

who's her husband?

[travismikel]

taye diggs

[Emilycandyflossxx]

LMAO!

[gluebottlehorses]

[valleyboi12]

ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[fallenrider304]

hamilton burnt her hands bad

[Broadwaymusialzz]

ok so what? lol- the lift wasn't completly closed and she feel halfway down?

[TalulahCarmichael]

Sounds like the trapdoor was opened when she stepped onto it, and she grabbed onto the side as she was falling.

[mrchristkngo]

Does she have the stutters

[gaoqiao101]

how did u get this?

[MissAnnahhx]

Oh my good

I'm laughing my head off

[SarahPuckett]

i love this video. it cracks me up.

[SarahPuckett]

1:05 that picture cracks me up!!!! aha.

[beautifullytragic19]

I just watched a video about margaret hamilton who played the wicked witch in the mgm oz film. The first scene she is in, with the munchkins and she disappears in a puff of orange smoke.... there is an elevator there too, and it dropped too fast and she was injured!!!

[bookworm1138]

no, it didn't drop fast enough and her face was burned. (face-burn is worse than a broken hip; menzel has nothing on hamilton)

[EABchannel333]

Isn't that what happened to the woman playing the Witch in the Movie? lol, I think you have them mixed up.

[bookworm1138]

no, i think YOU've got it messed up.

see, the trap-door didn't open in time and hamilton's face was burned

whereas the lift dropped too soon and menzel broke her hip

(imo, face burning is more serious)

[EABchannel333]

oops, rewatched the special features...sorry, I admit I was wrong!

[Snonks]

I heard different, I heard that in one take her cape caught on fire, and she got badly burnt because there was copper in her makeup.

[megsftballgrl11]

@Snonks that was the witch in the movie

[Snonks]

@megsftballgrl11 I know, I was replying to what someone said about that. c:

[musicalmad1996]

i didn't even know tyhis happened til like last nite!

[Nerdfighter21]

And the stupid EMS guy is like "Oh you don't look so good." Like i haven't heard that one before!

Kimberly from Wisconsin

[Kari166]

T___T It's too late?

[PiHexe]

what happend? i don't really get the story...

can someone tell me?

[KilamajaroKen]

When Elphaba "dies" at the end of Wicked, a trap door opens under the actress and they are lowered under the stage by a small elevator. This time the elevator was already lowered, and when the trap door opened, she fell all the way down. That's how she got injured.

[PiHexe]

thanks :)

[runswithcoyote17]

she fell through a trap door on stage while singing "defying gravity". she went to the hospital but the whole audience stayed for an extra thirty minutes for the understudy to put on the green makeup and finish the job. she also said in another video, at the hospital, the nurses got distracted by her husband and left her in the xray room.

[insane4DK]

it wasnt defying gravity it was at the end durring the melting scene

[runswithcoyote17]

oh crap,lol i was typing it when i heard her say "it was my last time singing defying gravity"
