Saw Avenue Q for the third time yesterday and it's still hysterical...Mary Faber is still awesome and understudy Minglie Chen is FAR better as Christmas Eve than Ann Sanders, although NO ONE beats Ann Harada....very lucky to have seen her before she left. My daughter now thinks Christian Anderson is the greatest thing since...well...John Tartaglia. Updated On: 5/27/07 at 11:45 PM
