One of my closest friends was in town today. She wanted to see Avenue Q, as I never stop talking about it.
We won the lottery. Actually I won. I was the first name called.
I let out such a scream. So did she. We had the first seats middle isle. Everyone from the original cast was there tonight except for John. Barrett is fantastic. He really is an amazing Princeton. So warm. Steph, Rick, Jen the entire cast were exceptional. She had a blast.
It is incredible. This was my sixth time seeing Q and I never get tired of it. It was great to see Rick. TONIGHT, were the best seats I have ever had and really got to see Rick in action.
HE IS INCREDIBLE. Trekkie, the bad idea bears and Nicky were incredible.
What a win. I made my tourist friend from CT VERY HAPPY.
I also gave some money to both Jen and the women who plays Gary Coleman. I always give to Natalie and she always gives me a thumbs up. Jen smiled at me. So cute. It was fun.
I love Avenue Q.

Ahhh, that's nice. But from the exciting title I thought maybe you saw Robbie's show tonight at The Duplex.
Same thing happened to me this past week. Gotta love the lotto!!

I made Deb happy. She is married with kids and never gets to see shows.
Barrett is fantastic. His Princeton makes me tear up.
This really is the best musical on Broadway.
It is so enchanting and the cast are all exceptional especially Stephanie.
The girl rocks.

Question: Corine- you said "the women who plays Gary Coleman"...does that mean Natalie wasn't there tonight?
Have any pictures?
It was Natalie.
I never do the stage door. Like to give them privacy.
Barrett was so fantastic. John was great don't get me wrong but Barrett just tears me up. He has a very sweet side to Princeton.
It is different.
John adds more to Rod, but Barrett does a heart warming Princeton.
I think Jen was the only one who saw me. She gave me a smile like Hi Corine.
Pretty cool.

Aww! I'm so glad you won the lottery!
Thank you sweetie.
I am glad for Deb.
And for me. I really adore this show.
It makes me happy.

For someone who is turning forty you sure can babble on like a giddy schoolgirl. Now go see Robbie's show. I am sure you will run into interesting people there.
I am not 40. Who is Robbie?
And yes, Avenue Q is heartwarming. It does make me feel like a school girl.
I have lost 19 times. It felt good to win.

Well, come September....
I turn 130 in September.
I look pretty good for my age.
And I don't feel a day over 21.
And you certainly don't ACT a day over 21, either!

Now that's just insulting to 21 year olds.
Shut up MS. Twistletwat.
Well Corine...I love you
Glad to hear you had fun...I definitely have to agree with you on Barrett.
Thanks honey.
Yes. I ignore Crabby old bitches.
PS I love John Tags. I just love Barrett in the role and I thought John would be the only one. They are both wonderful.
There is something special about Barrett.
He is so warm. And sooooooooooooooooooo cute!

Who or what is a MS. Twistletwat? A minor Avenue Q character? Pardon my not knowing but I've only seen the show once.

Yay! As soon as I saw your subject header, my very first thought was: "She won the Q lottery!" Thanks for sharing the great review!
I did a good deed.
Etoile...Thistletwat is the teacher for which Kate is an assistant. She's purple w/ curly gray hair, played by Jennifer Barnhart....and the name is VERY fitting.

Spoiler:
Oh the one with the work ethic who fired Kate as she demonstrated a total lack of responsibility when she failed to show for her job chaperoning children. Damn, girl, get yourself an alarm clock.
I like it! Thank you.
A woman of Etoile's intellect, insight and wit should be praised, not mocked.
