This is Idina Menzel being interviewed on opening night of Wicked on Broadway.

This is a press reel of the song “Popular” from the musical WICKED with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. The original video did not offer closed-captioning for Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences, thus we have taken the opportunity to add captioning for the viewing pleasure of the D/HH audiences. Disclaimer: We do not own this video – if you are the owner of this video, we offer the captioning file to be used on yours. Until then, the video stays.

Anthony Galde randomly offered me a backstage tour while I was randomly stage dooring befire WICKED on Broadway last year, and of COurse I accepted While backstage, I filmed Lindsay K. Northen (who was on for Glinda that day) and Nicole Parker rehearsing for the catfight scene… Cameras do weird things to my voice, so dont judge.
