Idina Menzel gave a very unusual piece of advice to his new replacement in the musical of Wicked on Broadway.
Talia Suskauer will play Elphaba, originally played by Idina, starting on May 24 in the show, and the two met at the The Kelly Clarkson Show this week to exchange stickers on paper.
Idina warned that if Talia drank too much water, she could end up peeing in pants. So that this doesn’t stop her, after all in the theater the show always has to go on, the star advised her replacement to wear very dark tights:
“Make sure you’re wearing some very opaque black tights underneath everything, just in case you’ve had too much water and someone makes you laugh, and you pee your pants. That will hold everything and then you can just get on stage and rock it.”
Idina asked Talia, “Do you feel you have a legacy to honor?”, and the emotional actress said that she feels empowered by all the stars who lived the witch before her:
“What I really feel is the strength of all the women who played my role before me.”
