"A mammoth, embarrassing disaster"? Um, no, actually, but thanks for presuming. Avenue Q is doing just fine. It's a word of mouth show -- it was on Broadway, and it is in Vegas.

I ran across this today and decided I had to leave the land of the lurker. (Note to Grinch: Avenue Q has costume changes! Lucy alone has THREE costumes! But to each his own). I'm the bookwriter for Q, and I just wanted to note a few things we found while developing the show.
