"It was a human moment of wanting to protect Elphaba"

Bestie you made it all about u, not the character lol

This. Her saying now that she's protective of the character makes no sense. The character on the original musical poster is revered and Idina Menzel didn't throw a fit because you couldn't see her eyes.

Lol it's not even Idina or Kristin on the poster. Just a drawing. They didn't care they weren't on it.

Really? Because I was at the first preview in San Francisco and that was the Playbill cover. Kristen had been in the workshop the year before, and Idina joined after Stephanie Block.

"This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen" girl look around, it's october 2024 and the world is a mess, a fanmade poster is the most offensive thing you've seen?

"I said what i said.
You don't have to like what I've said, but i said it, and I meant that shit."

[frelling_tralk]

I’m not sure how it was meant to be about protecting the character exactly, didn’t she specifically talk about how offensive it was ‘to me’ for the fan edit to erase part of her face from the poster?

[prdarkstar]

She must be so insufferable

[cheerspinkears]

And that’s exactly why she and Ari seem to get along so swimmingly.
