Q: "What do you plan to do after leaving Wicked’s London production? Do you have any plans to return to Broadway?"
- Elizabeth Werner from Nebraska, USA
A: Of course. I can't wait to get back to Broadway. I'm focusing on the album for the next few months but as soon as I find something I'm passionate about I am right there.
|
Q: "I saw RENT 10 and it looked like you guys were having so much fun, and to be honest, it was my favorite time seeing the show on Broadway. With that said, how was your experience doing the anniversary show with those amazing guys one more time?"
- Ashley from New Jersey, USA
A: UNFORGETTABLE. Surreal being back on that stage. What a great night.
|
Q: "When you have time, do you like to read? Do you have some favourite books or certain characters from books?"
- Marian from Toronta, Canada
A: I love The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. All the women in her books are forces of nature.
|
Q: "Years back, you did a show called The Wild Party with another future Elphaba, Julia Murney. What was it like working with her? Also, what song from that show was your favourite, either to perform, or just personally, and why?"
- Georgia F. from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
A: Julia Murney is beautiful. She is a great loyal supportive person with an incredible voice. And I loved performing "Life of the Party". Kate was so irreverent. I love jazz influenced music.
|
Q: "How do fan sites like this one make you feel? Do you like to see things about yourself online?"
- Debra G. from London, England
A: This site is awesome!!!! And everyone who participates is so supportive. But I try not to read too much online. People are brutal. And for every good thing there is something really hurtful out there. So I'm staying away!
|
Q: "Now that you’ve experienced owning both cats and dogs, do you consider yourself a cat-person or a dog-person? Do you have any funny pet stories?"
- Jenna
A: I'm like a proud mother and cannot choose between my children. I will say, the cats are not happy about the dog taking over the apatment. And I spent all of last night cleaning up dog poop on the bathroom floor. Apparently he ate something weird in the park.
|
Q: "Hope you enjoyed London! In my experience, English and American English are two completely different languages! Have you picked up any interesting British words or phrases? And in return, have you passed on any Americanisms to the rest of the cast?"
- Jess H. from Worcestershire, UK
A: There's a wonderful old saying; a term of endearment that they use "Darling Heart". I love that.
|
Q: "What is one of your biggest pet peeves?"
- Marissa
A: When people screw up and they don't admit they are wrong.
|
Q: "Hey Idina! Just wondering how you keep your nerves down and stay calm for auditions? I’m a dancer and it seems like I get more nervous for the auditions than the actual show!"
- Megan from Indiana, USA
A: I don't get rid of my nerves. I just try to embrace them and channel them and focus on the person in front of me. Sometimes nerves can get the best of us but sometimes we can do the unexpected and have a real spontaneous and idiosyncratic moment. Oh and I have that syndrome of thinking I have to pee when I really don't. That's annoying.
|
Q: "What made you cut your hair? It’s adorable on you! Was it a spur of the moment decision, and what does Taye & your family think of it? It is very chic!"
- Jamie from Lynchburg, Virginia, USA
A: Just felt like a change. I've had the same haircut forever! And yes of course my family and hubby love it, but they have to say that right?
|
Q: "What is your favorite thing to do in NYC when you have free time?"
- Alison
A: Go to the theater.
