Hey Kid: Backstage at "If/Then" with James Snyder, Episode 4: Idina Menzel Interview!

[@amelianomura]

I actually want to watch a 3 hour long video of Idina talking about herself

[@joshietoshie]

Litteraly

[@GilmoreGirl1607]

Idina's laugh is my life.

[@2moodlenoodle2]

"Let the people who can't sing have their moments" omfg Idina you're hysterical

[@Jabroniville]

Hah- when did she say that? I missed it.

[@johnstriker1545]

Jabroniville When she was talking about Karaoke near the start of the "interview".

[@JLe3HCa1SLa2]

Could they please post a vlog with them just sitting and talking about their lives for 3 hours?!?!?! I have a little free time right now and I would love that!!!

[@johnstriker1545]

You and everyone else :)

[@Kat-oh1cs]

I was thinking the same thing lol😆😆

[@Mia_M]

She has the most adorable laugh. I would totally watch for three hours with them just talking about themselves.

[@ryantbo28]

love these inside looks. Idina can come across as very serious and seeing her like this is GREAT.

[@drewjoshua3638]

I saw her on her most recent solo tour... she came out on stage bare foot and just seemed really intimate with the audience... she was very down to earth! People are very intimidated by big Broadway actors and actresses but a she isn't a stuck up "im so talented" actress.... she was awesome! I think (if you haven't seen it) would have loved to see her solo tour!

[@ryantbo28]

Drew Joshua not intimidated at all Drew - Im an actor too and been around a few "divas" Idina is a diva but in the best sense of the word! Have seen dvd of her barefoot tour. What I was saying was that this def showed a playful side of her that most people don't think of when they think of her. Cool to see how playful she is with James :-)

[@drewjoshua3638]

Awe this dang technology can make things sound different than intended! I understand what you mean now and agree. BTW I hope all is and/or will work out in your acting career!

[@Beautifullytragic6]

They all seem like such sweeties.

[@rachelschannel16]

Idina is such an amazing person.

[@oliviaratts1739]

I'm one who loves her for her, I wish she could know that so many people watch her shows and smile when she smiles, because we know she's happy, or watch something solely because our favorite person (her) is in it.

[@Marisol1711]

For a second at the beginning of the interview when he was introducing her I thought he was gonna say Adele Dazeem omg. I love Idina so much, she's so real haha

[@NateGH36O]

Lol, Ramin was carrying the If/Then CD in that interaction in the alley. They must've done that take again. xD

[@David2moon]

Idina's green chair lol in honor of her being elphaba ~ xD I love these vlogs!

[@bolindai9327]

I keep forgetting that Idina Menzel is actually a real person.....

[@tayleywilson8291]

me to

[@marcusgraham5724]

If they did a vlog of just the two of them talking about their lives, I would watch it a thousand times and still enjoy it!

[@AJKoehler]

"Oh sh*t thats right!" XD I LOVE IDINA

[@paristheripper]

James + Idina =

[@KatieT97]

I just watched one of Ramin's vlogs and saw him and James in the hallway between the theaters and I just had to see this one 😂

[@Luisina08]

That whole part with Ramin was insane xD pretty awesome though! Gotta love Anthony! So expressive even while brushing his teeth! Hahaha. Can we get him to talk more next time please? :) Wonderful interview with Idina! And yes it's definitely great that these are longer now :)

[@baileybieganek2446]

Omg! I freaked out when he started walking into the alley way (I've seen Ramins vlogs at least three times, but this is my first time watching this one!) I was like, ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!

[@aur0rab0realis]

This episode was perfection! ^^ It was so funny to see James as Idina's dresser and that vlogception with Ramin was too much to handle! :D I think these types of vlogs are at their best when they are around 20 minutes long. Just saying... ;) Btw, you haven't uploaded episode 3 of this series onto KZbin, right? o.O

[@rover8783]

".... I don't want people to hear (sing a number from "Carousel"), because they're gonna wanna start casting me as a soprano." - 20:00 LOL!!

[@katere6893]

Idina you could wear a bin bag and would look amazing!

[@edelweissangelita9964]

i miss if/then!

[@maddietillem6778]

"I thought they just live together like Bert and Ernie" Oh come on we all know Bert and Ernie don't just "live together". Also shaving your legs on a baby chair is genius. I gotta start doing that... And the Ramin vlog interaction! This episode was pure gold

[@Greengirl01]

Idina’s eyeroll is so cute!!!🥰

[@jessholden3989]

I am listening to if/then right now! I love it so much! I went to see it on September 26th!

[@anrina]

I don't think you guys can be any more adorable

[@becaroni17]

Thank you so much for asking Idina my question, James! Was just teasing with the Twitter comment about Ramin's vlogs being longer! -@becaroni17

[@Bubbleguppy123]

BEST VLOG YET!

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

I agree with you, Idina! I think its harder to be a belter than a soprano!!!

[@rebekahbutler2238]

This part that "collided" with Ramin Karimloo's Vlogger 24601 is how I found this vlog :)

[@cori512]

I just went to find Ramin's vlog as a result of watching this one! 😂

[@beneddiected]

cori512 it’s easier because the title to that vlog is “Vlog-off” 😂

[@britishbeauty1016]

"I feel very underdressed for this interview. BOOBS" -come on, who couldn't love this girl

[@leilanihanaike]

I didn't really realize that the quick changes were out of order. Now that I have seen the show I realize it. LOL.

[@kkstar1297]

Ill only see it if the original cast is touring including Idina Menzel. I only want to see it if shes going to be in it!

[@beneddiected]

I’m just here from Vlogger 24601

[@alexaliona]

i saw ramins vlog in which he meets james!!

[@foodisdelicious9473]

This video is basically 22 minutes of fangirl.

[@FeelingLikeOctober24]

the karaoke thing is so true haha I hate going to karaoke with my friends, you don't wanna be that asshole who can actually sing lol

[@10maduda]

“let the people that cant sing have a moment” the queen letting the peasants have their moment bless her heart

[@HstarBallet]

This was an amazing episode!!! Coming to see you guys on my birthday :D!!!!! Can't wait!!!! You are so inspiring :)

[@samiam1451]

I liked it when he was wearing the follies pouch cuz not a lot of people know about that show, but I love it :)

[@pugster111415]

JACKIE BURNS!!!!!!

[@Karoljna94]

Whaat?? James speaks Polish????? This is.... just beautiful ;___;

[@juliabielinska3844]

Girl, I feel just like you

[@earlgaytea]

Anthony is adorable

[@kimberlyallyn_]

sighhhh 2020 anyone?

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

They should do a weekly (or daily) vlog for the tour!!!

[@theatreandbeautylover2489]

He said he's working on it! 😊

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

+theatreandbeautylover24 YAY!!! Thanks for telling me!

[@foodisdelicious9473]

Is it weird that I fangirled more for Jason Tam than for Idina Menzel? XD

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

That baby chair kind of reminds me of wicked.

[@kimberlybowers145]

Yes, I am rewatching this 9 months later.... but did anyone notice that James isn't wearing pants when he mimes shaving his legs during Idina's interview?!

[@avlad195]

In the end I am heard "до свиданья", "да"? Is it true? Russian, polish ... I like James Snyder more and more.

[@SuperNikkilala]

I tought Idina would of said Funny Girl

[@jocelclark]

WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE?????!!!!!!!!!!!! 10:45 LOL

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

+jocel clark I LOVE JACKIE!

[@andrewdavid4709]

I can't believe how slow some of her changes are. They had a lot of time. Sometimes it's on and off in two seconds.

[@sarahmiller5268]

Anthony is the cutest

[@lulamae507]

I'm not a fan of James as an interviewer to put it mildly. But Idina's fantastic as usual.

[@lsw734]

LOL, that moment you realized James played the creepy/weird guy on "She's the Man". Also, at 3.08 that guy is literally shaking his head the entire time...wut?

[@Misswtfudge]

what was that wink in the end my god

[@pugster111415]

Jackie says " and i don't have one… *sad face*"

[@122991000]

God bless Joby ❤️

[@TripleAin4K]

she plays an Elizabeth in a movie & on broadway

[@andrewdavid4709]

What happened to episode three?

[@andrewdavid4709]

Anthony is cute.

[@2moodlenoodle2]

Was there a 3rd episode? I can't seem to find it

[@2moodlenoodle2]

Thanks! I found it :) wonder why they didn't post it here too...

[@calle1758]

Cool

[@abrahamdavidlavitt]

WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT IS IT GOING TO TOUR

[@caitlimay]

Some shows go on tour, it really depends on the popularity. I think that this probably won't tour, not because it's not popular or good, because I've seen it and It's amazing, but because if it were to tour, the original cast probably wouldn't be touring. They will probably go onto different projects. And as amazing as the show is, most of the audiences go for Idina. I think the show was written for Idina and If Idina isn't touring, it wouldn't rack in as many people or earn as much money. I could be wrong, but these are things that I've just noticed and learned by doing theatre and seeing shows.

[@johnstriker1545]

***** I agree with your assessment

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

I would have suggested saying soda or diet soda (diet soda's worse) for the drink, since soda is kind of poison, since it's really only liquified and fizzed up sugar. But aspartame is totally bad for you, in fact I heard that diet soda consists of the stuff found in ant bite venom and the stuff used for preserving dissecting animals for school projects. I probably didn't have to put down EVERYTHING, but I'm just saying.

[@klausthevamp]

WHERE IS EPISODE THREE??

[@meluu8808]

[@lighthouse-lh3ci]

At 17:25 was he humming the theme song of I Dream of Jeannie?

[@000euMJ]

Yes!! :D

[@mgfoster9197]

Kristen Kim look it's Ramin!

[@mgfoster9197]

I fangirl really really bad when I see Ramin.

[@linknluv4eva]

Hoooooooly crap listen to jenn sing happy bday my ohhh my

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

Is milk really bad for you if you're a singer? I'm just wondering.

[@Isabella-od8wm]

Sandy Karpe. YES milk causes flem to build up in your throat near your vocal cords

[@estelaramos9478]

Um, Jadina much?

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

I wouldn't really suggest wearing a tuxedo with cargo shorts, or any pair of shorts in general. They just don't go together.
