I saw that on the Q website someone heard from a reliable source that Peter would be leaving in late June? Can anyone confirm if that's true or not?! Please!!!

Great guy, but I did not enjoy his performance as Brian very much. Is he a better Trekkie/Nikki?

When I saw Avenue Q, Peter Linz was in and he was excellent.

QUESTION:
If both Rick Lyon and Peter Linz are leaving in June, who on earth is going to be Nicky/Trekkie?

Thanks for the info everyone! It's really sad to hear, but I guess he'll move on to other things.

Thanks all!

"everything in life is only for now"

No, Peter is supposedly leaving June 26th and Rick is leaving July 3rd

Wait- and a while ago I heard Steph is leaving July 3rd too but I think that might have been a rumor- it sure better be a rumor!

3 people leaving Q at once ain't gonna happen! It just can't...

Stephanie re-signed.

Oh- steph re-signed?

If that is true- Thank the Lord!

Not to be offensive. But, Rags, does every one of your posts have to contain a quote from Q? I love the show, too. But, seriously, it's every post. We get it. It's on the verge of annoying now.

I'm not sad that Peter is leaving because he's leaving for a brand new project that will feature him in the spotlight, which he deserves very much.

It is upsetting that he won't be in Q anymore. But, I'm glad he's moving up the ladder.

Peters last performance is the evening show on June 26th.
He will be in as Nicky/Trekkie, with Howie in for Princeton/Rod.
Peter has done a lot with the Q crew, including training the puppeteers. He will be missed at the show! But best of luck to him in the future, he's a fantastic puppeteer and will continue to do great things!

Rick Lyon is going to Vegas with John Tartaglia to perform in the Avenue Q there.

That may be true but whats that have to do with Peter Linz?

[JohnnysGurl]

Posted: 6/7/05 at 5:22pm

oh someone was just wondering why Rick was leaving

[wendy72]

Maybe he's going to Las Vegas as well..I saw him perform Brian and I thought he was great, beautiful voice, great delivery..different than Jordan Gelber, but it worked.

Unfortunately, Peter won't be part of the Vegas cast..
Can't wait to see him as Nicky/Trekkie on the 26th though. He's a fantastic performer!

I have had the joy of seeing both Rick and Peter as Nicky and Trekkie Monster and both are amazing...they will both be missed.

Is he a better Trekkie/Nikki?

He is a fantastic Trekkie/Nikki. I was actually surprised -- when I went to see the show for a second time, I was initially disappointed that Rick Lyon wasn't in. But Peter Linz was wonderful; I couldn't believe that they had found someone to match Rick Lyon's skills.

He probably isn't as ideal for the role of Brian because, IMO, he seems a bit young for the role.

And the line Christmas Eve sings in "The More You Ruv someone" about "only see fat and lazy" does not make sense for Peter as Brian. When I saw Peter, he reminded me of "Gary" from the show "Thirtysomething"--he looks more like a slacker than Jordan, and that worked to his advantage.

Two more original cast members leaving Q is extremely upsetting but both of them will be sorely missed
They are both great guys!

I saw him as Nick/Trekkie Monster/Roles which I can't remember now, I'll update when I do. He was wonderful in the roles.
