OMG Joby still works for her in If/Then. Talk about loyalty for the two of them. Speaks volumes in their character.

[@jcmt88]

I saw it when it first opened. She was sick and singing "No Good Deed" she forgot the words but just brushed it off and totally kicked the songs ass. It was an amazing moment. She's a true professional and inspiration!

[@avatriceforever]

Aww.. Idina. In the dressing room. Back in the day. I love her. She is the greatest Elphie ever! Always will be the best. Can't wait to see this full movie in a few weeks! YAY!

[@vegishishkabab]

I love the "knock on wood" -*knocks on her head* (: She's funny!

[@bumumu]

i love her she seems so sweet!

[@kevinoes]

I know she was very tired and stressed out during that period of the Broadway run. I tbink this is also pretty close to the time she and Taye were getting those stupid threats. So glad she got a chance to rest...

[@EponineWannabe1]

This gave me ideas for my dressing room at my dance company. my dressing room roommate has already decorated her side and i haven't had any time to decorate mine and i've been with the company for almost a year!!!

[@beautifullytragic1]

"Sometimes you just don't know how you're gonna make it through and you just need some twizzlers." Hahaha. That's why she's fab.

[@Clarinetist0409]

I love Idina!!!!!!

[@ammie4lifelove]

That is the dressing I was just in! I've met Idina and had a tour with Katie Rose Clarke and Teal Wicks a month or so ago! :)

[@4545sarah]

[@bumumu]

I LOVE IDINA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justinwalker91]

I love her so so so so so so so so much.

[@Diehardwickedfan]

oooh myy goooood [chills] i want to do that with my life [sing, dance, and act] sooo badly its insane!!!!!

[@c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

I wonder what she did once she did leave Wicked and the Gershwin with all of her stuff from her dressing room; especially since she doesn't like pics of herself in her house and such.

[@avatriceforever]

Have you guys seen the ShowBusiness DVD yet? This clip is on there in the special features, but it's not as long or as cool as this one. They cut a bunch of stuff out, like Idina talking about the absinthe and the first tech rehearsal pic and stuff. I'm glad I have this one to watch because it's way better.

[@DefYingGravIty81]

She is SO cute. I absolutely love her!

[@DefyingGravity36]

ok so i have this DVD and some of the stuff shown here is cut out of it on the DVD...like her showing the pic of her flying in tech or the illegal stuff and the tony nomination...it's all been cut from the DVD.

[@broadwaymike92]

I'm seeing Idina in New Brunswick in April 1st.

[@ilovewicked303]

hun, you really dont know what your talking about saying she cant act. idina is an amazing actress. id like to see you do even a quarter as good as her.

[@Wicked8DefyGravity]

hahah Idina is so funny, shes has illegal stuff in her dressing room! Idina has a seriousss sense of humor. Gotta love her!

[@beccatongue]

I know right!!! She totally proved her normalcy there. That was not a preplanned comment.

[@jonxgames1485]

Susan Hilferty always gives presents to show that she costume designs and it is always a costume design of that person. She did that for the 2012 revival of ANNIE. View Hard Knock Life: From script to stage for that part.

[@wickedphant0m]

She's so cute.

[@beautifullytragic1]

Clunkers are days where you don't do quite as well you're capable of doing. It's basically what theater people call a dud of a performance where it just drags because you're having an off day. And I think she's just really laid back and relaxed.

[@bronco090]

Where did you see the movie?

[@RubberDucki12]

OMG you're so lucky!

[@Clarinetist0409]

@Kylouch She does look like Kate Walsh.. I never noticed that before.. wow...

[@cierra6940]

she needs a daughter.

[@david_2364]

i always thought the flying part was fun. she makes it sound to challenging.

[@lianacrebbin]

@kieracye the last bit says "what a pair we'll be", the lyrics from the wizard and i, but not sure about the first bit...

[@xoTossTossxo]

the WILD PARTY LMFOO I love you idina or shall i say Kate lol "give my a bottle of bourbon and half a chicken and i'll conquer the world!!!"

[@erri13]

HAHAH. I ate twizzlers during Wicked when I saw her, HOW FUNNY IS THAT? WOW.

[@bubblygirlnz]

"knock on wood" seems to be *knock on head* in idina's book.. oh Idina, why must you make me squee so?

[@jenalicerose]

i do laugh at people clearly she can act and sing otherwise she wouldnt have been chosen to originate the roles of Elphaba and Maureen idiots Idina is amazing end of.

[@ladodgerschick]

lol when she says knock on wood she knocks on her head

[@keikokuriyama324]

2020?

[@kieracye]

@lianacrebbin Cool, thanks. Was just curious...

[@CarolanIvey]

She is so beautiful at ANY size, but wow, she looks frightfully thin at this time in her life!

[@c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

i knew at least that much; i meant did she just pack them all up and put in storage or did she pack them and display them in her house.

[@kieracye]

What does the pic Joel Grey gave her say?

[@landinglight]

Flying is a HELL of a uncomfortable too, believe me!

[@pjcp97]

whats the name of idina's spell book there?

[@pjcp97]

the green buddha is also in dee roscioli's dressing room

[@iloveoneillclothing]

@lalalachachacha0123 Absinthe! it's a very strong spirit! don't know why its illegal in US you can get it in the UK.

[@DawgDish109]

[@pjcp97]

Who says she looks like Lea Michele? She kinda looked like Diana Agron here.

[@beautifullytragic1]

Licorice. It's an American product. They're DEE-licious! Hahaha!! -blushes- I'm such a nerd.

[@xxtinkerbell91xx]

yea its bad luck if ya don't don't touch wood when you say that line. If theres no wood available you touch your head

[@pjcp97]

what does she mean ''clunkers in front of eighteen-hundred people?''

[@Diehardwickedfan]

.. that was random..

[@patricia_armstrong]

she was doind=g a joke saing like knock on wood

[@trav0041]

"So I can act..." She has never acted a day in her life. Well - if waving her lifeless arms around, counts - well I guess she does.
