Haha yea my parents surprised me with tickets to see Ave Q for my birthday last year. It was quite uncomfortable, but I still loved it. Ahhh it was 2 days after J-Tart left. I was so sad because I adore him. Barrett's amazing, though. I took a friend who I had gotten the soundtrack for (he LOVED it) and the whole audience was laughing so hard they were crying the whole time. It was a lot less awkward not being with parents, I must say. I mean my parents weren't like *gasp* during the show (they took me to RENT when I was 10) but still.
What happened to Andrae?
Fan: Oh my god! You're, like, standing right there and, like, looking right at me and, like, oh my god!
Anthony Rapp: Yes, that's a pretty accurate discription of reality.
