Idina Menzel

On stage 4 productions, 18 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Worked with more than once12 names

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 6 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

• Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth) had a bouncy first-act number, “Popular.” Elphaba (Idina Menzel) got a dynamic first-act closer, “Defying Gravity,” which became so entrenched in Broadway’s consciousness that even the creators of Shrek had their evil Lord Farquaad sing that no one “is ever gonna bring me down.”ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
• Galinda flashbacked to the exposition on how Elphaba (Idina Menzel) was born green. Holzman condensed Maguire very well here and throughout the show.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
