Idina Menzel: Taye Diggs wanted to marry me!

During a recent appearance at New York City Comic Con, Idina Menzel shared a surprising anecdote about her ex-husband, Taye Diggs. Menzel recounted that Diggs expressed a desire to marry her immediately after hearing her sing for the first time, a sentiment he voiced when they first met. The couple's paths originally crossed in the mid-1990s while they were both involved in the original Broadway production of the musical Rent. Menzel recalled the experience of originating roles, noting the unique gift of a composer writing music with a specific performer in mind. She described the supportive atmosphere among the cast during rehearsals. Menzel also touched upon the challenging period following her separation from Diggs. She credited her work on the productions 'If/Then' and Disney's 'Frozen' with helping her navigate the emotional difficulties, finding joy and a sense of forgiveness. The immense popularity of 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen,' famously sung by Menzel as Elsa, occasionally led to humorous situations for Diggs, who found the song playing ubiquitously.
