| I love Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's newest score, and these are two of my favorite and loveliest tunes from ''If/Then.'' I think that Beth/Liz has more stage time than Elphaba, so I'm guessing ''If/Then'' is the tougher show to sing. I also don't know how Idina manages to belt ''Always Starting Over,'' her knockout 11 o'clock number 8 times a week. She's amazing. On ''Today,'' Idina also talks about her Billboard cover, John Travolta and singing ''Let It Go'' at the Oscars. It's so rare to see a Broadway musical-theater actress achieve this kind of success on-screen, onstage and CDs. Brava! | |

| She appeared on screen in Enchanted, Glee, and Rent (among others). It's not like she was a total unknown before her voice work in Frozen. | |

| Sure. But her level of celebrity is much higher now. Nothing she had done before allowed her to open a Broadway musical (where she's the principal draw), perform at the Academy Awards and make the cover of Billboard magazine. | |

| Is that necessarily true? She was the Tony-winning star of WICKED a show that is so popular (pardon the pun) it is said to be the most profitable venture - movies included - in the history of Universal. Sure FROZEN and "Adele Dazeem" only raised her fame factor but it seems that Menzel was definitely poised for this next step. | |

| I'm not arguing with that, I'm just saying that she didn't achieve her success without appearing onscreen. But maybe I misunderstood the post I was replying to. | |

| My point is that this her breakout performance she was NOT onscreen. Yes, I knew about her previous onscreen work. | |

| I agree, I am not sure why this argument is taking place. Anyone have any thoughts on her performance today on tv? I was surprised she allowed James Snyder to appear with her (pandering to the mid-20's ladies who remember him from those awful tv shows) -- he is so carefully blocked in If/Then as to never upstage or pull focus from Idina...probably why they have no chemistry together on stage.... Those are my thoughts... | |

| Can't disagree more. They have chemistry and sound glorious together. And they look like they enjoy each other's company. I seriously doubt they included Snyder to appeal to fans of his one-shot TV sppearances (i.e., ''Without a Trace,'' ''Cold Case''). He's probably there to plug the fact (to the largely female viewers) that there's a love story in ''If/Then.'' | |

| Totally agree. Their chemistry is palpable and the song is sexy and winning. She sings it to him, even on TODAY. | |
