Idina Menzel made Alphaba special and amazing because she is special and amazing. Wicked was just magic if she leaves Wicked the magic will leave too. She isn't just the worlds best singer and actress, shes my hero and always will be. love, Stephanie Frosch-age 11

When I saw Wicked in San Fransisco with my friends, I went to my mom and said that I loved wicked soooo much. And that Idina had the best voice I had ever heard. So we saw it two weeks later and said that it really was!!!

idina u r a great person. please come back after u finish rent it wont be the same without you. you r the only one who ca n do the job and have fun at the same time. you are my role model. Shoshana Bean is also a good actor but you are the best person to play the part. everyone will miss you. you are the best. I hope you are happy with your decision. Before i go i have one thing to say the enthusiasim on the stage is different with out you. iI hope u win the Tony award this time. i will allways miss u. it wont be much fun with out you on the stage you make the whole story come alive and you brighten up all the childrens faces even the parents faces. thank you for doing the musical wicked. many children will look back on this and think of you and how they felt. !THANK YOU SO MUCH! i will allways miss you

I love Idina Menzel! She's so full of life and just overall joyful! I am sad to see her leave Wicked but I was even more overjoyed to see her in the film version of RENT. (I also love the original Broadway version). But I will be sure to buy all her CD's.

OMG Idina has been so freakin' inspirational and i can't believe that she is leaving wicked because I didn't get to see her in it. Ever since i saw her in Rent in New York i fell in love and i just hope to get my hands on anything she has to do with in the future.




I LOVE YOU IDINA MENZEL!

I'm afraid you've had it then. Last Idina performance at London Victoria Apollo is 30th Dec 2006.
We saw the Matinee on the 20th, faultless and note perfect. She's a real star.

Idina is one of the best actresses/singers ever. She is my role model. In a couple years I want to be on Broadway, and my dream is to work with her someday. Idina was the magic in Wicked and will always be. Without her and kristen Wicked just doesnt have that 'sparkle' anymore. Idina please please come back!!!
