Posted: 9/5/08 at 12:44amHmm..that's kind of random. It'll be funny hearing her say "F*** it sucks to be me!" Haha

I'd love to hear her renditions of Fine, Fine Line and Special!
I think she'll fit in really well, I'm not all that suprised about the casting choice, maybe a bit because of her work with Disney, but she seems to have been able to disconnect herself from The Mouse easier than others, like Hillary Duff; much like Annette Funicello did in the first era of Disney Kid Stars.

Posted: 9/5/08 at 1:04amIs it just me, or did Carey Anderson like, just start in this show? Wonder why she's leaving so soon when she exited Mama Mia early to do this show?

Posted: 9/5/08 at 1:05amSo excited! I love Christy Carlson Romano and I regret not trekking down from my dorm to see Avenue Q perform at Gould, especially when my favorite show comes to perform at my school. I heard she was awesome though.

Posted: 9/5/08 at 1:15amI think she's a great choice for that part.

I am also wondering why Carey Anderson is leaving so soon. It felt like she just got there and she did leave Mamma Mia just to do this show. I wounder if she has something in the cards which is why she has a short stint.
I would have thought that Romano would have come into the show a little later on after Anderson had a decent length run in the show. I don't know maybe it's just me.

I could lie and say that I have a younger sister who makes me watch it, but when I get sick of the 1 billionth episode of Law & Order on TNT I occasionally rock some good ol' fashioned Disney Channel. Yeah!

I'll try the lottery for Q a time or two while she's in it! I'd love to see her live!

Posted: 9/5/08 at 3:10amOdd. I seem to remember a lot of people on here hating her in Beauty and the Beast. Why is everyone now so thrilled?

Posted: 9/5/08 at 7:18amI've heard this rumor for months...good to see it finally confirmed.

Carey Anderson knew when she joined the Broadway company that it would only be on an interim basis between Sarah Stiles leaving to do VANITIES and Romano coming in shortly thereafter.
Weren't there rumors a while ago that they were sending her out to the tour?

I didn't like her in BATB at all. It sounded (and looked) like she was straining for every note she sang.
This role, however, seems much more suited to her, I think.

somethingwicked,
I am confused. Rumors of sending who out on the tour. Were they thinking of sending Romano out on tour or send out Carey Anderson once she is done on with Avenue Q on Broadway.

Posted: 9/5/08 at 8:42amI unfortanetly saw her in Beauty and the Beast twice and she was awful both times...I can however manage to picture her in Avenue Q, because she has a very nasal quality to her voice and she'd fit the voice type of Kate very well. She also played her Belle with a bit of sarcasm to her, so that also might come out with her Kate...it would be interesting to see, but I don't think I'd want to be dissapointed again.

I'll tell you what I'm confused about:
This is obviously stunt casting, but I don't get it. People who will come to see Christy Carlson Romano will be too young for Avenue Q. Won't it be a bit inappropriate? I don't know, the whole thing is just weird.

"Even Stevens" was 5 years ago. Her fan base is older now, though it's arguable that she had a fan base to begin with.
"Stunt casting" is a phrase given when they cast a celebrity.

Wow, that was... unexpected.
I grew up on EVEN STEVENS (though mostly for Shia), so this is more than exciting for me.

Posted: 9/5/08 at 9:12amI dunno, her singing hasn't been that good lately AFAIK. She has a vocal wobble. :/
