Q still got it!

I attended the first preview of Avenue Q last night and I must say, It was great!

The set, props, everything, etc in the show was smaller but was exactly the same.
I am so happy the show made the transition so good and it proved to me that Q still got it!


The only thing I hope they change is for the guy who plays trekkie/nicky (i dont have my playbill in front of me) at times I found his voice to be so low that you had to closley pay attention to him or else you cant hear him over the music. They need to raise his mic or something.


But the show seems to be in great shape and for the most part (in the orch) it looked to be sold out.

I wish the show much success for years to come!

Thanks, I never got to see it while on B'way and was wondering if they would scale back or cut some parts when they moved it Off B'Way. Glad they didn't, really looking forward to seeing it.

Did they keep the giant Kate Monster too?

---

Just pay for the damn ticket.

Don't they do rush when the BO opens?

Glad to hear the show is in great condition.

"Yes, but people wanted to make sure that they had dirt cheap tickets instead of paying for a ticket online. Man, what has this country come to?"

A recession.

To answer some questions

-Pretty much everything from the Broadway show is in this version

-Giant Kate Monster is in it as well.

-The theater is "Stage 3"

---

How full was the house? I do wonder if there's enough marketing being done to counteract the previous closing notice. Good thing they resumed performances on a three-day weekend for a lot of people, so TKTS can throw some traffic their way.

I was there as well (via TKTS). And now that I look at your picture Saveusmike, I am the person who took your picture before the show.


I enjoyed the show. Not as good as the last time I saw it with the final cast but still good. The one person who I REALLY missed was Ann Harada. I think all the Christmas Eves after her just over play the part and are not as funny. They don't have the voice or the accent and they don't deliver the lines believably.

Brian is and will always be an awful character.

Anika Larson is phenomenal.

Seth Something (I think) was good as Princeton/Rod. Nothing to write home about but still good, his voice was what didn't impress me that much.

And I love whoever played Mrs. T and the Bad Idea Bear, she is hilarious.


The only change I saw was that in "Fantasies Come True" when the beds normally separate and fly up, this time they were on these rolling platform things. It's hard to explain. but the beds tilt to the side and then two people role them off stage, it's very badly done and hope that it is changed.


I hope to go back further into the run and enjoy it more.

Also I saw Jason Moore walking around New World Stage and standing in the back and Robert Lopez (Does he go by Bobby?) sitting mid orchestra behind Kevin McCollum.

As a person who uses discount codes all the time I don't mind the discussions about them. But I do have to say that tking does make a bit of a pest of himself regarding the topic which can raise the ire of other posters.

Haha, yep it is! And thank you, I always get comments about that.


I don't know what it is about the character but Ann I believe will always be the BEST Christmas Eve.

Anyone who cannot project sufficiently for the audience to hear in a 500 seat theatre without a mic should be an usher, not on stage.
