I had a thought about Idina Menzel, our OG Broadway Elphie.

Recently, I watched Tick Tick Boom on Netflix and of course since then, I’ve been listening to that soundtrack and then of course I HAD to listen to Rent, because, duh.

Anyways, obviously our OG Elphie, Idina Menzel was also the OG Maureen in Rent. While I was listening to “Take Me Or Leave Me,” I thought it is kinda funny that Idina played Maureen - who is much more similar personality wise to Glinda (albeit a bit sluttier, LOL). Joanne is more similar to Elphaba, but a bit more uptight.

It’s just a fun connection my brain made recently.

Thank you for coming to this random brain dump of mine on a random Thursday.
