IM SEEING IDINA IN CONCERT AGAIN TO CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF BEING A FAN AND SHE LIKED MY TWEET FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ABOUT SAID CONCERT

[thecitykeepsevolving]

July 14 was my 20th anniversary of being an Idina fan, and on Thursday night, I got to celebrate that milestone by seeing her in concert at The Beacon Theatre in NYC. Anyone who has followed me on this blog since 2014 knows what a journey I've been on. I basically grew up with Idina, becoming a fan at 11 years old when I saw her in Wicked. As my life was changing, she was always the one constant thing that remained the same.

The ride wasn't easy over the years, as there were many times that I was frustrated with the fandom and even Idina herself. I constantly questioned myself as a fan and whether I was doing enough. Recently, that changed as I got older and even during COVID when I figured out what was really important in life. A year ago, I actually got to meet her properly and have a conversation, and her authenticity and kindness made all of the difficult moments worth it.

When I saw Idina in concert on August 15, I was in awe. It was so clear that she had changed in a positive way and showed growth about her perspective on life. I watched her talk openly about mental health issues such as anxiety and panic attacks, and told a story about giving a speech. These are all topics that I relate to right now, and it felt like I was meant to be there watching her at this moment in time.

On stage, I saw a genuine person who was so grateful to be performing live for her audience. When I heard her sing songs like Defying Gravity, Brave, No Day But Today, Take Me or Leave Me, and You Learn to Live Without (among others), it took me right back to certain memories I had with each one. Unlike previous Idina concerts, I was able to take it in, look around me, and appreciate the experience. I always say that every time I see her live I love her even more, and that was 100% true on Thursday night. I'm so glad that like Idina, I was also able to grow and evolve and become a better person. I think it made me a better fan as well, and I will never forget this concert. I am still not over it and wish I could relive it a million more times. Next stop, Redwood in March!

PS: My shirt is from eBay, sorry to Idina's merch team!

So.. I'm seeing Idina in concert tomorrow. I haven't seen her SING anything live since 2017. This is a PROBLEM. I'm glad to be getting my fix again!!!!!!!

When I first saw Idina in Wicked, I knew she had a unique talent. It’s been amazing to watch her career grow over time, and her journey was perfectly captured in the documentary, Which Way To The Stage?

[thecitykeepsevolving]

Just watched Idina Menzel’s documentary and I CANNOT MOVE.

Which theater website will let me write a review about this???

[thecitykeepsevolving]

BRB GONNA BE ON A ZOOM CALL W/ IDINA MENZEL IN APPROX 45 MIN

[thecitykeepsevolving]

I thought I was cool for meeting LaChanze last week, then Idina had to go and one up me on insta stories....

[thecitykeepsevolving]

I have some thoughts about Idina on WWHL, but I’m grateful that it happened again. Maybe next time put her on by herself or with someone who has a bigger personality. I thought she bonded really well with Rachel Bloom last time so I was a little disappointed.
