Written just for me...(Ave Q).

There are those rare moments when I go to a musical and I can relate to certain things so much I feel as though the songs could have been written especially for me. Avenue Q was one of those times. I don't remember laughing so much in the theater in a long time. And I could definately relate to some of the situations the characters were in. The last time I felt like this was when I saw Rent for the first time. I'm sure I wouldn't feel like that now since I'm in a different place in life. But it's pretty exciting when a piece of theater relates to your life so closely. Updated On: 12/4/03 at 04:27 PM

I am going to get the OBCR soon. When I listen to it, will I know all about you? Do you think the internet is for porn? lol.

I have NEVER in my entire life looked at porn on the internet so that is the one song I could not relate to.

Do they sign Playbills at the stage door after the show?

No I don't think so....although I was able to buy the window card signed by the cast to benefit Broadway Cares.

I think the songs in this show particularly stick in your head, does anyone else feel that way? I find myself singing them all the time. I'm really looking forward to seeing this show and I don't know exactly what to expect.

Everybody I know who has seen AVENUE Q (no matter how old they are) are shocked into recognition with so many of the characters concerns.

When I took my friend Scott from L.A. a few weeks ago, he grabbed my kneee when Kate tells Princeton "I have ENOUGH friends..." He was in tears as that's the line he uses on guys who tell him "I don't want to continue dating you any more...can't we be friends?"

It's a show that's funny as hell...but with a rich humanity too.

How can you not like a song from Ave. Q?

[Corine2]

My favorite song is it sucks to be me.
Something I can relate to!

You said it exactly Master. I definately had that experience a few times while watching the show. When it was all over I almost felt like I had just had a really good therapy session. Updated On: 12/4/03 at 10:38 PM

Well, I've never actually seen the show, but I listen to the OBCR literally ALL THE TIME. It is so catchy, and I often find myself starting to sing certain lines- like "F**k you lady, that's what stairs are for!" for no particular reason. No wonder people look at me funny....
I can definitely relate to a lot of the songs, and I think that that it this show's greatness- it's funny, but has a "gigantic" heart as well!!

I can relate to a lot too...
- Internet...is definitely for porn
- I used to make my wife mixed tapes a lot when I first met her
- I am a little bit racist some time
- I still wonder about my purpose...thats why I'm going back to school so that I may teach Middle School...gasp...the horror
- George Bush is only for now
- Getting joy in people's pain (not really bad pain but laughable pain that is) is fun too
- And the bad bears are always corrupting me too Updated On: 12/5/03 at 01:49 PM

the lyrics are *supposed* to be childish?? ok, just checking! =)

[JohnPopa]

Posted: 12/5/03 at 2:14pm

Well, given that the show is a satire of children's shows and the songs used in those sort of shows, yes, there is an inherent degree of intentional childishness in them.

It is sort of the point of the show.

Yeah- they'll sign Playbills, just be patient for them to come out.

[mamamia sammy]

Posted: 12/5/03 at 2:39pm

Yes, they'll sign whatever you want. It sometimes takes a while for them to come out, but they'll sign.
