Avenue Screw — Page 5

"I have never loved a musical this much ever (I love Millie but Q is in a different league you could say i relate to KATE) " - Corine2 Cohen

Well won't Forbidden Broadway light a candle in mourning over that.

Hey Jack,
Forbidden Broadway is my favorite review of all time.
Avenue Q is my favorite Broadway show this season.
The Normal Heart was my favorite play. Any other questions?

What is going on here? What am I not letting go? In my last post I said why I thought AVENUE is probably the better show but it's small size is causing it to be overpowered by WICKED because WICKED is a bigger show. You guys need to learn that when I'm not kidding around, I make very rational comments outside my opinon. What's wrong with the PHANTOM logo? Is the rule that if you have a show as your photo then you are "one-show-minded?" Should I change it to a cartoon or a bad photo of myself to fit in better? For the record everyone, I like everything by Wildhorn, Lloyd Webber, Schonberg, and Stephen Schwartz.

I would like to thank J. for making me laugh my ass off at his many extremely immature posts on this thread. Especially the very unfunny joke of "Avenue Screw". Different people have many different thoughts on what show is better than another, but I mean, common. If youre 19 you could have probably done a little better with addressing the issue rather than acting like a 10 year old.

Oh, by the way, you're welcome.

"In my last post I said why I thought AVENUE is probably the better show but it's small size is causing it to be overpowered by WICKED because WICKED is a bigger show."

You never said why you thought Avenue Q is probably the better show. You just said it was, but didn't say why. Obviously, its size had nothing to do with it because it beat the bigger show for Best Book, Best Score and Best Musical. Huh.

"AVENUE SCREW may be the better show and it's possible that the size and callibur of WICKED is deluding people into thinking its better even though I still think it really is IMHO. "

What a copout! Are you one of the deluded? Or is Avenue Q the better show? If you think Wicked is better, that is fine, but don't say you think Avenue is "probably" the better show, but you think Wicked is actually better in the same sentence. It's wishy-washy madness.

I haven't seen the shows (yet), but I tend to skip over about half the Wicked CD, but I don't skip over any of the Avenue Q CD. Hmmmmmm.....

>> I find the music beautiful

You should. A good chunk of it is ripped from Puccini. :)

And part of Millie was apparently ripped from Pirates of Penzance. The music is still good is it not? Caroline or Change uses Christmas songs and different variations of traditional music, but that doesn't mean it's any less of a show.

I am glad that J. and WiCkEdRoCkS have finally found each other. The two of them can have secret parties and douse themselves in their apparent brilliance.

How long do you think Avenue Q will run? honestly?

and how long do you think Wicked will run?

anyone who disagrees with "Wicked deserved best score and avenue Q didn't" must've skipped over defying gravity when they listened to the OBCR.

I love Avenue Q and I love Wicked. Wicked's music...not comparing to Avenue Q's lyrics, just the music...is REAL. It actually has form and structure and complication unlike the little ditties of Avenue Q (With the exception of a few songs...I wish I could go back to college, Fantasies come true, fine fine line.) Avenue Q's lyrics are hilarious and witty and make even my father laugh (George Bush is only for now!)...but Wicked's lyrics are inspiring and make so many people cry every night. They appeall to different crowds. Avenue Q is going to Vegas. Wicked is touring.

I think that Wicked will be on broadway for a long time. I don't know about Avenue Q...I think they're both in the same situation with leads, Wicked's audience will shrink a little when Idina and Kristin leave, but so will Avenue Q's when John and Stephanie leave. They're more alike than you think.

I just don't think of the word "stong" when I think of the AVENUE music. Even though WICKED has those 5 ass licking songs, I think "power" and "strong" with most of the score and I think "cute" and "funny" for AVENUE's score.

Agreed. Very cute and funny.
