Idina Menzel And Kristin Chenoweth Reminisce About ‘Wicked’ | TODAY

[@Azi483]

Wicked: Idina and Kristin Frozen: Idina and Kristen **mind=blown**

[@emmabloom1793]

Glee as well

[@jellysso3255]

Kristin and Kristen both blonde, have sweet voices and their characters are very light and happy.

[@brooke.t.g.r5646]

Emma I KNEW IT! I never saw wicked before but I knew Idina’s voice was familiar.

[@blankeyed67]

Ooh, Idina has a thing with Kristens. Wouldn’t be surprised though, cause she also played a lesbian chick in Rent, lmao! 😂

[@elliotinit3626]

Different Kristens, Kristen Chenoweth and Kristen Bell.

[@spjw2566]

I still think these two should star in the movie version. I don't think they're too old, and most people going to see the movie associate Wicked with Menzel and Chenoweth anyway.

[@manuelorozco7760]

SPJ W It would be cool but I think it’s time for younger talent to take over.

[@spjw2566]

And they have....on Broadway, but let the real stars get a crack at doing the movie.

[@manuelorozco7760]

SPJ W But at least they still have a bit of their looks

[@dankhnw8]

Barrett for Elphaba!

[@shtl394]

I love them to death, but considering the entirety of Act 1 is them at college age, I don't think so.

[@Theloversconjure]

I know this is an old clip but man would I pay good money to see them perform together again. They’re both so beautiful and unbelievably talented.

[@nahbirdie4773]

I would sell anything to see them perform. Yeaaah

[@mxln2512]

"I sat down with the tony award winners..." Idina: *flips hair*

[@IamCurrentlyAscending]

Toss toss no hands.

[@disneydanny2]

3:50 for those that are saying " I thought the "Popular" dress was pink?" it is. the one you see in the photo was from the tryout in San Francisco before the line "pink goes good with green" even existed in the show script.

[@ceeeboleyn]

I don't think that was on Broadway probably a picture

[@njade18]

Chenzel! 💚💗

[@ceceangelin]

THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

[@danceballetacro]

[@BeeKee404]

2:08 Sorry. I hate to be one of those people but it's QUEEN Elsa.

[@neilpilapil1479]

Kee Leichtle true

[@neilpilapil1479]

Kee Leichtle true

[@ashleytriestodesign8697]

That bothers me sooo much. IT'S QUEEN!

[@danschannel2644]

So true

[@lisaa4446]

she is a freaking goddess now

[@broadwaymike92]

Love them so much. QUEENS OF BROADWAY!!! #ChenzelForever

[@alm6888]

Anyone else notice at 3:50 Kristen's dress was blue. They used the pre Broadway photos because her dress became pink after that run.

[@brandonhannon35]

So I guess the line was "blue goes good with green"? 🤔

[@hannahroberson783]

OMG

[@hannahroberson783]

I’m so glad they changed it to pinj

[@shtl394]

@@brandonhannon35 I think that line wasn't there yet.

[@alm6888]

No, that wasn't the line.

[@Almando]

Who is Princess Elsa? She is Queen Elsa.

[@brandonhannon35]

Of course Kristin would have on sparkly eye makeup. LOL.

[@erikandchristinepassionlov5194]

LOL I didn't notice. I was too distracted by their cuteness.

[@fan_girl21]

I love their relationship! I hope they stay this close for the rest of their lives💚💗🤟🏻

[@aying25]

I love how they look at each other after a question and Kristin answers for both of them, they’re so in sync, and because it’s an interview Idina goes “what she said”

[@jakeoconnor9410]

Awe I remember seeing them on Broadway!!!! Been in love with the production ever since

[@fan_girl21]

name a better duo? They compliment each other so well!! 💚💗

[@LadyPisces96]

The chemistry between these two is incredible to this day.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I will be looking forward to the special. Wicked partially got me into Broadway as a middle schooler. The Hollywood Pantages was where I saw the show at 14 with Eden and Megan as Elphaba and Glinda and now I’m 25. But sometimes I wish I took take a time travel to 2003 and see these two lovely ladies. That way I would have been even more excited five years ago for Idina as Elsa in Frozen. Even the cast album was the first one I listened to in its entirety even over a year possibly as I recall before I got to see the show. Also Idina if I were you I would wait until Walker is 14 or so to try sitting in the audience with him again.

[@samuelbrown112]

Manuel Orozco Eden and Megan were my first too! In LA! Would have loved to have seen Kristin and Idina but the LA cast was phenomenal

[@manuelorozco7760]

Samuel Brown Even almost every time recently that my mom and I went to a show, she mistakes the cast for the OBC. That was the only time I sat foot at the Pantages. Mom prefers to see a show in Costa Mesa. Wicked is such a beautiful but occasionally scary show. I knew what to expect in terms of music and story but nothing else when I came to the show.

[@samuelbrown112]

Manuel Orozco I'm looking forward to seeing it in LA in December. Heard great things about Jackie Burns as Elphaba

[@manuelorozco7760]

Samuel Brown I wish I could go. But I am seeing Waitress next month with former Elphaba Christine Dwyer as Jenna and her husband Matt DeAngelis as Earl

[@elisam.2896]

Ah yes the good ol' days of #chenzel. Gosh i feel old but i still love this sooooo much

[@t.marieking3239]

I saw it when it came out with the original cast, amazing..

[@ajsandiego9580]

QUEEN ELSA

[@manuelorozco7760]

Mermaid a.j I spiritually connect with Elsa because of how I was almost 21 like her when the movie came out five years ago. Also because I have autism which I think is an intellectual blessing but as well as an emotional curse. Luckily I never lived in fear

[@JLCosslett]

Mermaid a.j lol I yelled that too! I was like “SHE’S A QUEEN!!!”

[@pip1278]

I was lookinf for this comment 🤣🤣

[@adolenefowler5699]

WE LOVE KRISTIN CHENOWETH AND IDINA MENZEL!!

[@gatoxjr11]

2:09 Omg is Queen Elsa, not Princess

[@KidsInnocence]

Jenna is a moron, what do u expect?

[@bethliotta3752]

Rude

[@lr3565]

I LOVE THEM !! Can't wait for this 💚💗

[@jenniferargerake8298]

I love this video because I love Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Mezel!

[@envy_mafia]

Omg love those two ❤️

[@emilycalles623]

I love Kristen Chenoweth so much

[@kristintrisha2616]

Ah my Musical Theatre heart just exploded 💚💚💚

[@broadwaymike92]

Seeing Idina on tour with Josh Groban next Sunday at Madison Square Garden. So excited to hear them sing together!!! Already starting to have the CHESS In Concert album on repeat!!!

[@hellstar7814]

I remember seeing them when I was in I believe 8th grade, my first play and it blew my mind.

[@sofialagerqvist9922]

OKAY IM CRYING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH😭😭💚💚💖💖 #CHENZEL4EVER

[@landry2611]

Perfectly casted roles in an amazing musical

[@selfhelpmyway9254]

How nice ☺

[@kgal1298]

It's so funny watching this I remember when the show first came out and they performed Popular on Today incredibly how much time has passed since then.

[@selamdestaaa]

QUEENS OF THE STAGE.

[@underdgs_4111]

Guys you know what’s weird is idina Menzel was Elsa and Kristin was maleficent

[@sydneyella493]

i want them in the movie so badly

[@maggier.5008]

Idina is coming to my town Rochester NY with Josh Groban! I'm so excited!!

[@joycxj]

Oh my god, I'm from Rochester NY too 😂😂

[@maggier.5008]

That's so cool! What part do you live in?

[@joycxj]

I'm between Rochester and Syracuse, but I'm currently going to MCC for college

[@rolandomontenegro4130]

Adele Dazeem........

[@ruby7226]

0:57 BLUE?!?!

[@envy_mafia]

So inspiring.

[@danceballetacro]

Please have them back on the show for anything!!!

[@edie8931]

i hate it when people say they hate each other, why is it only women that get those rumours spread about them? they don’t have to best friends

[@caramellocabello34]

Kristin is so funny 😂

[@E_M_M_A_]

Okay can we talk about the fact that both of these Queens were on Glee at similar times and so was Adam Lambert and Josh Groban

[@annapg.4626]

The best Elphaba and Glinda ever.

[@knpickles5538]

All I can see is Rachel's Mom and April from Glee lol

[@tristanbeacham412gma]

great video guys

[@cjbrew34]

I know they should star in the movie version...........................

[@et5895]

I LOVE THOSE GLOVES. Does anybody know where to find those?

[@toplaycool21]

Elphaba was Idina's preparation for Elsa in Frozen.

[@marypk9258]

3:50 omg the popular dress was BLUE?

[@Melisblessed]

Wish I could I saw them on Broadway together.

[@darlingmelancholy]

Lmao and they were both in glee together too...

[@emusaurus]

I can't believe wicked is like 20 years old now. Feels like it just came out.

[@Tarikkb]

I wish they could do the movie but its passed their time but they still canve have them as other, side characters to tribute them

[@ariannaseusankar7116]

I am going Friday night to see it in Greensboro Steventanger arts center

[@cimfam3762]

Will the "wicked haloween" be on youtube?

[@svenwouters9547]

I heard someone is posting it on reddit

[@sassypants7536]

it looks like Kristin Chenoweth has posted clips on her Facebook page already. Popular and For Good :)

[@sillystarshine22]

it's on hulu and the NBC youtube channel uploaded i think all of the performances

[@Katherine-lb2ut]

If you go to NBC's website, I think they have the full 43 minute performance (without ads) on there. :)

[@ForeverWinterandHope]

2:58

[@kinggoose3910]

My favorite character from wicked is glinda

[@ajbgbuildburg3542]

2:09 princess elsa 🤡 really? Its QUEEN elsa😗

[@Carriehammer718]

Yesss

[@sanasana-ig3bo]

Sorry but she's a QUEEN

[@MegaSoulHero]

I’m seeing Wicked in San Diego on Friday

[@euniceannelubuguin6663]

I still see them as Glee stars though

[@joshuad937]

Elsa is not a princess. She is a queen!

[@Tswifter4ever]

Also love how they both were on glee

[@jimmjr2]

I like that all performers were listed except for Ledisi

[@ohheyLeighannn]

OhhhoHHohhoOHHH!!!!!! -"Defying Gravity" from "Wicked"

[@ElectricLegend14]

I find it hilarious that even though Idina plays Elphaba and Kristin plays Glenda, their animated characters are swapped in terms of hero or villain. Gabi from Rio 2 and Elsa from Frozen.

[@antmagor]

One of these days put someone please get a recording from the original Broadway Company from an archive or something and release it on PBS. Asking for a friend.

[@Gabezilla437]

Idina Menzel was a wicked witch before she became Elsa????🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Silyah246]

I really hope Adam Lambert will sing Dancing Through Life

[@tillyboos]

That's right -- he was playing Fiyero in the Los Angeles company of Wicked until he auditioned for American Idol. 👍

[@princeorii7815]

So Elsa is a princess now?

[@manuelorozco7760]

JaKoB Martin Broadway royalty is more suitable

[@silvermoonstar2263]

Kristen still sounds like Glinda

[@bigdezol]

Only watched because Chenoweth looked so...interesting...in the thumbnail.

[@krazykittymatt]

Injections lol

[@reng935]

She got dso thin.

[@vangoghsnight4268]

@@krazykittymatt I think she needed it because she damaged her skull

[@casper189]

It’s actually *QUEEN Elsa*

[@Jackoreossss]

why was glinda popular dress blue?

[@metalgrinch]

I saw this play back in the day around 2003 and saw it with these two, and unfortunately had seats way up top and some annoying kids and moms making a lot of noise. BUT at least I can say I did in fact see these two.

[@rose-sz5lo]

Just realised how pointy Elsa's face is...it's like a beautiful upside triangle with rounded edges

[@beckysmeilus3276]

Omg I love this but they need to sing

[@aggu5477]

glee was insane to get them holy

[@GloryInWonderland]

PRINCESS Elsa??? Triggered

So glad idina is doing defying gravity and not ariana 😍😂

[@cosimamaly1242]

India Looks like a mix of demi lavato and Lea Michele

The fact that idina keeps playing a role of a girl who isn’t accepted

[@maiawong9703]

U mean QUEEN ELSA

[@fckyoudidntask642]

All I'm hearing is Elsa and Maleficent from Descendants. I need to stop watching movies..

[@BradleyWong_]

What happened to Kristen in the thumbnail

[@MikeA15206]

The blank look in Jenna s eyes is odd - like her smock, I mean dress

Glinda’s wigs are better in the original , the new ones are very tacky and not brushed out so the curls are just right and ugly
