Idina Menzel Instagram – When reflecting on her expansive Broadway career, Out’s May/June cover star @idinamenzel credits her past role as the original Elphaba in ‘Wicked’ for teaching her how to stay true to herself.
“I think as a woman who has always struggled with my loudness — being too big, being too much, maybe being too angry, all of those things that I have become self-conscious about or try to reel in, in order to make other people more comfortable around me — I think that Elphaba has taught me and hopefully lots of other people to embrace and harness what makes us fierce, beautiful human beings and to understand that that kind of power is what changes the world. And we don’t need to compromise that for anyone.”
At the link in bio, Menzel shares the LGBTQ figures who changed her life, a heartfelt message to her LGBTQ fans and more.
