Yeah. It'd be cool to see. But unlike RENT, it's gonna be the current cast. RENT shouldn't have even had the OBC for that crap.

The original poster was saying that alumni will be there, not that they're performing in the show itself.

Congrats to the show for lasting so long. Not that I don't believe it should.

Anyways, I wish I could be there just because the slight chance I might see Johnny T. Other then that, I have no interest in the current cast.

Whoo-hoo! Five more years, five more years! (though it's not very likely)

BTW- Barnhart is STILL there?! Though I have a very good feeling if that new Muppet movie is greenlit, she'll probably leave...

RENT shouldn't have even had the OBC for that crap.

Well technically this isn't comparable to RENT's 5th anniversary because that OBC reunion was just a concert at Studio 54, rather than an actual performance...and the very history of RENT's conception and the bond it created among the OBC makes it much more understandable that they looked for an opportunity to reunite the RENT cast than the Q cast...but hey, who's keeping score.

Congrats to Avenue Q! A well-deserved milestone.

Unrelated Q question. I saw the tour recently and the "Straight-A Students..." verse in "schadenfreude" was (sadly) cut. Is this now the case on Broadway?

Love the pictures! What a cute cake. And Stephanie looks absolutely gorgeous with long hair. Nice to see some Avenue Q originals...but sad Johnny T wasn't there. =(
