Did Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel like each other?

There have been rumors to the effect that celebrated actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel have some animosity between them.

This was after Gregory Maguire’s “Wicked”, published in 1995 was adapted into a Broadway play in 2003.

The roles of Elphaba and Glinda were brought to life by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth.

Rumors that the pair’s feelings for each other were less than amicable were heightened because Menzel took home one of those Tonys for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical (via ET Canada).

However, speaking to Entertainment Weekly back in 2013, Menzel and Chenoweth insisted that the rumors about a feud between them is untrue.

Menzel said;

“We were like sisters, together constantly. Kristin and I have the ultimate, utmost respect for each other and admiration for what each of us can do.

“When you work together for a year and a half, you bite — I bite my husband’s head off nightly — but we were real advocates for each other and tried to protect each other and stand by each other.”

Chenoweth who was in agreement added;

“We’re very different actors and we don’t see each other very often, but that doesn’t mean there was drama.”

“Those rumors are hilarious to me. We’re very different performers and different people but we made magic together and nobody can take that from us.

“When we did the 15 year reunion, we just hugged and cried. What can I say?”
