[@Yumirix]

This is the most comfortable I have ever seen her in an interview!

[@shannoncrawford5812]

She's so tired poor girl needs some sleep.

[@kassiesabourin6494]

He was so nice to her and didn't cut her off or ask her too many repetitive or rude questions, and i think that's why she was so chill. Plus she seemed exhausted haha. I love seeing her so calm haha

[@AnarchistPoop]

It's that cat pillow.

[@Sophia-bv3ze]

Show Yourself has been on repeat since I watched the movie

[@owenchuarbx]

Same here

[@j.conwayphillips]

Is it funny that I just now realized that 2 of Idina Menzel's most famous co-stars have been named Kristen and Kristin?

[@Frozenfan1965]

Jenna Conway-Phillips and Kristen Anderson Lopez

[@littlecheetah47]

Jenna Conway-Phillips and they are both short blondes. Small but mighty I should say.

[@lb6536]

I think "Show yourself" changed me.

[@xxxnagisugar]

im in love with this song after i saw the movie

[@lynellesuan7168]

I agree. I think it has transformed me.

[@1man_l33]

It did, emotionally

[@simpleambitious]

Same 😭

[@ottudo]

L B frozen in general changed me and helped me succeed.

[@leahmarie5079]

“Do you wanna go get a beer after this?”😂She’s so funny

[@rogue7723]

That sounds like a song Anna would sing to Elsa after parties when they're adults.

[@ItsBritneyBitch1]

It makes me so mad that the producers refuse to cast Idina and Kristin in the live action Wicked movie because "they're too old"! Espcially since Idina is fighing so hard for the role and actually WANTS to do it again, I know Kristin would do it in a heart beat as well! The magical, powerful chemistry they have, NO ONE can even come close to it. They truly had something rare and beautiful and it would be ICONIC to see it again on screen! Their chemistry beats any young actors they might find for the movie!

[@breeze5459]

its not that the producers refused the role for them, Even Idina and Kristin already discussed it themselves that they're too old. Kristin ask idina about the role, but idina shouted surprisingly (they were calling each other) that they're too old for the role themselves

[@breeze5459]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5u4Yp9micx2ppo this one

[@ItsBritneyBitch1]

@@breeze5459 they might have jokingly said that then but in this interview Idina literally said that she's fighting for her and Kristen to come back to Wicked and that the producers want someone younger.

[@diegotorres8379]

@swevicki well kristin said she wanted ariana grande and dove cameron to be casted as them cuz they’re too old and she wants to pass on the characters to them

[@PabloTheGreat1]

Being too old doesn’t matter. Idina and Kristen still sing, act and dance as if they’re young and CGI exists so they can make them look as if they were in their 20’s again.

[@makenzymaness5408]

Her voice is so calm. it’s making me sleepy. I love her so much.🥺

[@dec23]

This guy is an amazing interviewer. You can tell he is truly a fan of Idina and is excited to talk to her. I really appreciate him asking her interesting questions and letting her speak without interrupting her. Great interview!

[@kassiesabourin6494]

Yassss i agree!!!!

[@angelat4512]

Yeah! So many people always cut them off and ask boring questions, this guy is the best

[@helplessoverthinker8640]

I think she got Elsa not just for her singing, but her actual voice goes really well with the character. Her voice is very calm and commanding but it can be full of emotion it's amazing!

[@AliceBz]

I love Show Yourself a lot more than I love Into The Unknown, I love how the phrase "Show yourself" turned from asking the other to show themselves into her showing herself.

[@yiacrazy]

I usually don't leave comments, but this was a terrific interview. So many good points discussed. I saw her in Wicked and fell in love. I actually had no interest in Frozen until I found out she was the voice of Elsa. She seems so powerful and yet so personable. Not to mention I saw her in rent when I was coming into my own. Love you woman...

[@patrickcleary6315]

yiacrazy oh my god you are so lucky to have seen her in Wicked and Rent, she is incredible

[@newelizad4776]

I'em kind of envy of you but so happy that you could see her in both. C'mon! This is amazing! And she is down to earth and funny and soo talented. Love her.

[@millangullehag4138]

Can Idina please make a podcast. Her voice is sooo NICE

[@叶泓睿]

I just closed my eyes and listened the whole interview. The only I remember is that Elsa went second base in the basement........😂

[@lydiadeters4348]

"Those were the days!"

[@najrenchelf2751]

Idina looks so cozy. 🥰

[@carlygwitt]

her laugh is so adorable ahahah

[@moviereelness7527]

speaking as a mexican who has listened to the spanish dub, NO ONE can be Elsa but Idina.no matter how good a singer they are

[@natalia-ji3kh]

“two people of the same sex singing love songs to one another” when i tell you i started crying. i love her so much edit: 17:15 >

[@iyaahchesca1154]

HER LAUGH IS FREAKING CUTE

[@_heretique]

I loved every second of this interview. I think Idina felt comfortable around the interviewers--she was very open and honest throughout. (I mean she always is in interviews but there was this aura of vulnerability in this one.) I especially liked the bit where the interviewer asked Idina about one of her Christmas songs, the one about acceptance. I can feel Idina's gratefulness through the screen, and I felt how important that song is for her. Ugh i lovd this so much

[@Poetic_Justice1962]

Idina: beautiful eyes, beautiful soul.

[@zoragryffin9000]

Zach: Yo! Beautiful human!

[@exiles4527]

Yea

[@ysabellac.1309]

beautiful voice!

[@ellegaddi5232]

before i die i want to meet her so bad pls 😢 i need to hear her in person i love herrr

[@emmawallace8424]

Rielle Gaddi me tooo❤️😊we need to meet her🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@angelat4512]

Same!

[@verityjude2269]

Sameeee

[@susanalima1676]

im starting to look for ur comments in this interviews lol

[@marga_mld]

I could listen to her and her stories for hours and hours

[@azrabasaruddin5859]

Another great interview Zach! I’m glad you pointed out that Idina’s voice sounds better/stronger. I’m not sure if a lot of people picked up on it, but the fact that you did shows that you really study your guests beforehand. Thanks for interviewing Idina. A dream come true for a musical theatre kid I’m sure!

[@melozanob]

Idina talking about how the movie can get to you regardless of age made me feel so much better. No wonder I could not stop crying from "Show yourself" all the way through the end of the film... something there must have hit lmao now I don't feel so bad about it knowing there are many many layers to it.

[@Soul.14159]

Oh I’ve cried over show yourself every time I listen to it. I’m 22 and it struck deep for some reason.

[@julia_mariee]

Idina is sooo talented, not enough people realize that! I've listened to her voice live and it's just one of the best voices ever!!

[@mariam786_]

Idina is so polite n soft.... N love her powerful voice 😍😘

[@marialourdesdiocera8525]

I like these interviews. It doesn't fish for controversy, it just flows which is nice. It's relaxing. Thank you for this.

[@kay.smi2424]

You know you've fallen into an Idina Menzel rabbit hole when on the same day as watching this you end up coming accross the interview where the interviewer said he saw her in Wicked at the Pantages.

[@if3359]

Which one was that? Sounds super awkward

[@mall0rysmith]

her accent really came out in the interview lol

[@ztswift]

what accent?? it's just American accent

[@Mj0Skyver]

@@ztswift To the untrained ear, it's just American in general. But more than several states and even areas per state has a distinct accent. Someone from California is different in how/she talks and sounds like when speaking to someone from Texas and how both are different to someone from Massachusetts, Long Island and/or New York.

[@KOT-br3tk]

@@ztswift 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@ctluvr-lq9ws]

One of the purest souls, ever.

[@Anonymous18531]

To quote Josh Gad, "I love this Jew from Long Island"

[@helli7368]

when did he say this?? 😊

[@sanikilian123]

Helli 101 an interview with james corden I think

[@jennaye8142]

I love her sas and the subtle shady-ness she throws haha I like watching these/having them playing while doing other things and you get to see the guests getting more comfortable and the talking flows easier. Thanks Zach! Still one of the best interviewers.

[@twentysvn]

Ugh what a legend 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

1:35 she has a Long Island accent naturally While Elsa is more neutral and needs some work 22:13 what goes into training for Elsa 4:20 when saying in a lot of those area like churches and whatnot, you build a thicker skin cus people dint really listen to you And so instead to sing for yourself, = and thus focus on trying different things with your style and develop your own mood 6:30 idina is able to change things up at lives without too much rehearsal because of her days where people didn’t really listen to her Because she welcomes mistakes and enjoys them - While other sings don’t like them and so rehearse a ton in order to change things up at lives 9:25 when younger she was more confident But nowadays prob because of success it makes you feel like you have more to lose so more anxiety 12:00 when vulnerable you can connect with audience better and being comfortable in vulnerability Is hard cus well you’re vulnerable 12:50 ways to get out of her head 14:20 realizing what’s important in life Gives perspective in success and live performances 15:28 perspective on how fleeting the idea of success is 26:35 3 years to make frozen 2 out of the 6 years hiatus 3 years just living life 41:40 her vocals get stronger even as getting older if she sings ALOT with good technique It’s all about singing a lot

[@Emma-nw8xu]

I love Idina 💚

[@owenchuarbx]

I had been playing Let it Go and Show Yourself in tandem

[@Amakiseul]

I've never watched an Idina Menzel interview but she is so calming and genuine. I need more of her now haha

[@rose_quartz_loveandlight]

Wow she has such a beautiful energy ✨✨✨✨

[@Mj0Skyver]

This was a fantastic interview, Zach. Idina seemed so comfy and down-to-earth throughout the whole segment. It's a shame that I used to live in San Francisco when Wicked debuted and I missed out on the Broadway magic Kristin and Idina gave the world. I did see her in the film adaptation of Rent which she's fantastic. From Maureen to Elphaba to Elsa, I'm pleased that Idina got to work on a pivotal role (still doing so for Elsa) per project.

[@pip1278]

One of the best interviews with her I have ever seen ! loved it, and her voice is so smooth, I love listening to her

[@lexx.stormm]

I’ve been a fan of Idina since Rent on Broadway

[@jennaye8142]

I saw her in Wicked a while ago before I even knew who she was. It was my first (and only) Broadway show I've seen and she was just incredible.

[@ashut0ast23]

So calm and sweet voice 😀

[@chanilerner6410]

No Day But Today was the song that made me drop out of university and commit fully to my music dream. And I now have been making a living from singing for over a decade ❤️❤️❤️ love all the way from Israel 🇮🇱

[@angelat4512]

Idina is such an inspiration. I’ve always wanted to go into music and broadway, and even though I’m good (not that great though) Idina just makes me feel like I could do that. I absolutely love how she doesn’t care what anybody thinks about her and sticks with her stride no matter what she’s doing. I absolutely adore her and I really hope I’ll be able to see her preform live one day!

[@wiktoria2281]

Ah the amazing Adele Dazeem❤️

[@foxtatertot]

The Wicked-ly talented, Adele Dazeem.

[@verityjude2269]

That joke is so old 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@usernameinserted]

yessir

[@Agpals]

I love her so so much!! Honestly such a pure person. And Zach is a great interviewer!!

[@yozoaki]

Just imagine Idina is an animation of Elsa. Just imagine she's Elsa.

[@foxtatertot]

I just always imagine that she's Elphaba..

Idina Menzel!!!

[@mariam786_]

From 38:48 to 39:02 ....she looks sooo cute.... N d way she said "no, u didn't "😍😘

[@slider2754]

NO WE NEED WICKED THE MOVIE WITH IDINA AND KRISTIN!!!

[@carterwatson1715]

Zach I’ve watched all the interviews that I’ve watched all the way through You have like one of the best shows today!

[@jocicalese]

I love how she said that she gets to connect with boys AND girls thru going on tour and singing Let it Go because it's true; Elsa is a hero. and she should be seen that way to both boys and girls because Elsa did something we can all look to. she stepped into courage and broke out of the bad place she was in. that's an example that kids of all kinds can look to and admire. even adults and old folks. anyone.

[@alexdeleon7829]

I’m so glad that I wore my not Adele Dazeem shirt to the gym today! I’m surprised that there was even a video uploaded of her! Not that she doesn’t deserve one, but it’s kind of cool! 💚

[@Soul.14159]

Zach I’ve never come across your videos before but after watching this, the tone of this interview, the respect and care you show to (Idina) guests is amazing! You’ve earned a follower.

[@yanirav9814]

I love her! Loved her in wicked. No disrespect but I did not care for frozen. My daughter absolutely loves it. But I’m glad I took her to see Frozen 2 it’s truly great. Way better than the first one.

[@rubymangum3030]

literally my favorite person on earth!

[@honeycakeszzz356]

I absolutely love her

[@ztswift]

So sadddd that Idina cant be casted in Wicked like WTFFF SHE IS LEGEND AS ELPHABA

[@johnjohntawan1490]

This is a really great interview.

[@gisellea.6764]

43:02 No actually Brendon would probably say, “Idk man I just sing and see what comes out” Lol

[@mileyice13]

I love her 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@rogue7723]

I remember how badly I wanted to see her at Carnegie Hall, but the concert was on a Wednesday and I had a final first thing in the morning. I got a very good grade on it, but I still wish I could've gone. First World Problems, I know.

this is a really good interview. i dont know who this zach guy is, but i'm subscribing

My fav radio show👏💕

[@edie8931]

i have so much respect for her, she’s incredible, i loved frozen as a kid and then discovered wicked and went to see it in london a few years ago, and loved rent as well, she’s a legend

It‘s better than the first one she says, woah - that‘s some PRAISE! 👀

[@brejnhardt]

She is so beautiful inside and out... Living in Denmark, she is unknown, until Elsa is mentions, then people knows her, but not WICKED, I fell inlove with Wicked after I stumpled over it on YT, while I was digging after more songs from "Elsa" .. I am sure glad I did that...

[@mirandaschermerhorn5264]

Love her!

[@hmayefsky]

Hi I’m a big fan of you Idina Menzel

[@if3359]

Jackie Burns was Elphaba at the Pantages. She looks quite a lot like Idina Menzel, it's not just the green makeup. She was also the cover (standby) for Menzel in If/Then.

[@unknownlyn750]

comparing idina menzel interview to Liz Gillies u see that Idina is kind and genuine with her words while Liz is like a bff of Zach so she like roasts him 24/7 and she is super funny

Whyyyy did i just discover this now

yeaaa Idina is right, it is a Disney movie, A DISNEY MOVIE, they can make CGI on Nick Fury in Captain Marvel...so why cant they make CGI on Idina Menzel😭😭😭

Seeing frozen two tomorrow second one is going to be interesting what’s your favorite part of playing the character of Elsa?!!! her powers are wintery magical!!!

[@elizabethmcfly935]

Omg Zach you got Idina on your show!?

[@Wolf-Man88]

I feel I'd be like Dan, asking all the Frozen questions haha.. As a trans man and coming into that later in life (at 26), I really identify with Let it Go in the way of letting go of what people want you to be and becoming who you were always meant to be inside and also embracing that. I get so emotional when I hear the song because it hits home for me in that way and is just beautiful.

I want that pillow

[@threethej_rock]

OH MY GOD. AAAAAAA 💙❄️

[@EmmaHernandezL]

Its such a shame that the producers of Wicked don’t want to recast Kristin and Idina for the movie. Sadly it won’t be the same with any other Elphaba or Glinda. And the weird thing is that some of the people who’ve played them in broadway have the same age as they do. Hollywood is always ready to exchange wonderful things for ‘new’ and ‘fresh’ things and in the process they lose the authenticity and essence that made these things special. I personally can’t imagine what it would be like when people who can’t go to broadway and haven’t heard the original cast recordings, see and hear the magic of wicked in the big screen with someone other than these wonderful women. The least they could do is find people who have similar vocals. Personally I would have Brendon Urie play Fiyero cause his range is very similar to Norbert Butz’ and because he has experience being on broadway. (Idina must know Brendon Urie because he made a version of Into the Unknown and was invited to the premier of Frozen so I’m just saying 👀 it would be amazing to see that happening)

[@moyun2645]
