| • EXCLUSIVE Q&A WITH IDINA MENZEL • |
April 6, 2007
During the Spring of 2007, while Idina was recording her 3rd studio solo album, she took some time to answer some of her fans' burning questions on every topic!
The following questions were selected from hundreds of submissions in an attempt to learn more about Idina as a singer, an actress, and a woman.  Take some time and read through this insightful and fun interview, put together by fans like you! If your question wasn't included, don't be discouraged! With any luck, we'll have this opportunity again, so be sure to think of more questions for next time around.

Q: "See What I Wanna See is by far the most thought provoking piece I have experienced. How did you become involved in the project? What attracted you to a chamber musical?"
- Chelsea K.
A: Michael John LaChiusa.
|
Q: "What’s your most valued gift from a fan you’ve ever received?"
- Monica K. from Sydney, Nova Scotia
A: That's too difficult a question. I am in awe of the generosity and love sent my way. I have received a countless amount of cards and pictures and creative gifts. I do adore the really young kids that write their own cards in green crayon. I framed a particular drawing that said "Dear Elphaba, I thought it was sad that you thought you weren't pretty because I think you're beautiful". I keep that in my dressing room.
|
Q: "You were so great as Maureen in Rent, both on stage and in the movie, and I was just wondering, if they did a movie of Wicked, would you play Elphaba once again?"
- Beverly N. from Lakewood, Ohio, USA
A: Oh I would love to, but I'm pretty sure they aren't planning that in the near future.
|
Q: "You’ve mentioned you do yoga. What type of yoga do you do and how did you get into it?"
- Talya
A: I love Bikram yoga...
|
Q: "What intimidates you?"
- Salet C. from Mexico
A: Really brainy people. I tend to get a little quiet, not wanting to say something stupid.
|
Q: "Have you ever kept any memorabilia from the shows/films you’ve been in?"
- Claire from the UK
A: Yes. I always try to save something. I keep scripts with my notes in them. I have my Elphaba witches hat. I keep opening night cards and gifts. What else? Oh I kept my Act 2 Maureen wardrobe too.
|
Q: "What are you afraid of (i.e. spiders, the dark, etc.)?"
- Shanta from Washington D.C., USA
A: I'm a big baby when it comes to snakes and mice... and roaches!!!
|
Q: "What advice do you have for aspiring Broadway stars who are terminally shy? I love your work, because you seem so bold. How do you do it?"
- Erika from New York, USA
A: I think I take more chances on stage then I do in real life but you can't learn anything if you don't challenge yourself. And don't say "terminally". If you love to perform then you have no choice, just keep training and focus on the words or the music whenever you find yourself slipping back inside yourself. You're not doing anyone any favors if you withhold your talents from the world.
