- From Wikipedia:
In a World AIDS Day benefit, the original cast of Avenue Q and the cast of a recent Broadway revival of Fiddler On The Roof presented a 10-minute performance that was essentially a spoof of Fiddler and Avenue Q called "Avenue Jew," in which Trekkie Monster played the Fiddler Theme and, at its conclusion, ate the fiddle.
"Avenue Jew" is a sort of epilogue to Fiddler.
Tevye, his wife Golde, and his two remaining unwed daughters arrive on Avenue Jew, an area inhabited by Jewish humans and puppets (the cast of Avenue Q playing Jewish versions of their usual characters, complete with Jewish American Princeton and Hanukkah Eve).
"Hanukkah Eve, do you love me...?" "No."
This always cracks me up!
And she didn't say she was only kidding.
Falsettos revival
"and this is my wife, Hanukkah Eve" ok, I can't possibly be the only person who BURST OUT laughing..
"We all eat bagels" "we all have overbearing mothers" "we all feel persecuted" "So everyone's a little bit Jewish!"
How did everyone keep a straight face through this? I can imagine the rehearsals being nothing but pure laughter
That's what good acting is.
They need to stage a full-on version of this! I love it!
Lol best part in this:
"MARRIED?! OK, I'll be brief. On the other hand, on the other hand, TRADITION, sure go ahead..."
XD Awesome.
wow falsettos looks great
I was thinking the same thing, just 3 years later 🤞
I honestly think this might be the best Broadway spoof/mashup ever. Literally fight me.
I shall not fight thee since thou art correct.
@@aIewishusfr
I swear John Tartaglia is the cutest thing
Oh my god, I knew he looked familiar!
As someone who's seen Avenue Q live and was in Fiddler On The Roof, I laughed so hard at everything! And the best part is: Our actor for Lazar was Bisexual, so that part had me dying!
Love it!
Brian: It reminds me of our wedding day! Hanukkah Eve, do you love me?
H.E.: No
Damnit, those harmonies at the end of "Everyone's a Little Bit Jewish" are still some of the lushest I've heard in the last 12 years. Amazing what doubling or tripling the singers per voice part does.
My favorite part
Everyone's a little but Jewish
not me
not me
I AM
This is an absolute TRAVESTY! >:( I mean, how DARE they put this show on for only 8 minutes instead of another full-blown musical?!
(Keep going, Avenue Q!!! XD)
Yeah!
How does Rod manage to be my favorite every time?
BECAUSE ITS JOHN
@Colored Pencilz What is wrong with some of these fans?
I love rod and John! ❤
So real
This is better than SNL could ever do.
When Trekkie starting eating the violin my life flashed before my eyes. (I’m a violinist)
I think that's a fiddle, not a violin.
@@sha11235 Same instrument just a different style of playing.
Brian: Do you love me?
Hanukkah Eve: No. *walks away.*
Is it just me, or did it take this long to realize that Kate Monster didn't say, "I AM!"
Same. I didn't realize it until I saw that one girl being lifted up LOL.
And now Marriage equality is a thing!
jag519 Hell yeah!
jag519 das it mane
"Thing shming." My rabbi.
Not in Russia were I assume this alternate universe takes place
@@notchuckproductions5029 haha hello from Russia :_)
But actually that's really so sad...
Glad they did the "this is mine" schtick, because it always gets a laugh on stage.
HOW DID I NOT FIND THIS SOONER WOW
avenue q and book of Mormon are musicals just to see how many people they can piss off
Lol!!!
No, they're satirical musicals made to poke fun at society and the way it functions. While they may be controversial, they are not made strictly to piss people off.
It’s a joke guys dang
Avenue Q is racy sure, but it’s not crude.
@@starsscapes I think if people get pissed off about this, it's their stupid problem.
"no foreskin attached" hahahahahaha
eunseo the flirt i know, genital mutilation is so funny lol
Actually, there's a nice double entendre there....the reference was to the Tsar, as in the leader of the country (in this case a puppet of George Bush), which is consistent with the whole "Fiddler on the Roof" theme. I'd never notice, though, that Russian Jews referring to the Czar in Yiddush as "Tsar" would also be calling him "narrow", as in narrow-minded, restrictive, etc.
This is still one of the best things ever, even 15 years later!
I'll be brief, on the other hand, on the other hand, tradition, sure go ahead. I played Tevye a few months ago... I wonder what would've happened if I did that on stage during the performance...
"Hads off, jailbait! I saw him first!"
I can't XD
John just looks so happy when he's singing about the matchmaker. XD
This is extremely awesome. Since I love Avenue Q and we are doing Fiddler on the Roof for Summer Theatre. The recording quality is also great for 2004!
Brian: Hanukkah Eve, do you love me?”
Hanukkah Eve: No.
Me: 😂
"on the other hand, on the other hand, tradition, sure go ahead" fiddler on the roof in 5 seconds
That tears it. Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof are of the same continuity, and the Q crew is descended from the Jew Crew shown here.
For me, it's the Matchmaker segment that always put a smile on my face!
Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof on The Lion King stage! O.o
Mildred Halprin
Do youuuu love meeee? ..................... No
+Linfir "Do I WHAT???"
There are two kinds of people in the world: people who admit to watching this 5 times in a row, and people who lie.
"Lazar Wolf you're a Feygele?"
Effin HILARIOUS!!! Why couldn't this a whole play? I'd certainly pay to see it a few times.
I don't get it
"I'm a lonely man, Tevye!"
being a Jew myself, I found this hilarious
"Do you love me?"
"No."
I laughed so hard.
4/10 not enough trekkie
tiggle5485 there’s never enough trekkie 😂
Lea Michelle should wear that wedding outfit in Glee. Rachel is Jewish, too.
"What do ya do, with a BA in Yiddish...Who the hell majors in that?" XD
This is so cute. Love the play Fiddler on the Roof and Avenue Jew.
This is BRILLIANT! I laughed A LOT! But the joke about the little boy being in Nine went over my head. Anyone????
"If I was a human" "oiiiiiiii" hahahahaha
I recently was IN the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" and this short version was SO funny! It helped "break" things up when we'd been doing all the songs for 3 months :)
I love Avenue Q so much!!
Bring it back please ❣️
Favourite thing in this universe.
Hanukkah Eve 😂
Maybe this could become a full blown musical.
It is, but it's called Avenue q.
This performance always cheers me up.
@matika1000 Yes it is Lea as Shprintze. She played this role while still being in the workshops of Spring Awakening and she was a senior in High School!!!
I love it, I love it, I love it!!! Matchmaker, matchmaker! It's great! I wish I could see them in person (especially Rod!)!
Hilarious although I wish there was a little more Trekkie Monster! The funny thing is that I'm in a Broadway revue and we're doing "Tradition", "Matchmaker", and "If I were a Rich Man" in it, obviously from Fiddler. But nothing from Avenue Q, sadly. But this was hilarious! 8/10
Anthony Pecoraro 11/10*
Two awesome musicals on "The Lion King" Stage... wow...
Wonder how Hugh Jackman, Melanie Griffith, and Nathan Lane felt about their names being in this?
@samiam520
I think it's Barrett Foa. He was the understudy for most of the male puppet characters starting in December 2003, so at the time of this show he did play Princeton sometimes.
This is THE best Easter Bonnet performance ever.
What a hoot! This is so good, it seems too short. Give a "thumbs-up" if you agree!
I’ve watched this like 10 times in two days
Meg C I watch it 10 times an hour
"Do you love MEEEEEE?" "No." ROFL
avenue q with in minor... nice
I've seen this before but I never realized Lea Michele was in it.
natisinvisible I think she was in fiddler not avenue Q
olivia stone yeah
Who was she
God, it's been YEARS since I saw this! Still awesomely hilarious; thanks for posting!
Wait no now I ship Lazar Wolf and Rod
SHIT INSTANT-OTP
This is one of the best things on the internet oh my goD
This is my new favorite musical.
This. Is literally. The BEST thing I’ve ever seen!!
I remember watching this in middle school, I don't think I got half the jokes... It's hilarious now though!
Hugh Jackman's answer: Yeah, I have.
I wish the people who complain about black Hermione would listen to that last song.
LadyEvilest i saw her perform and she was unreal!!!! So talented
LOLOLOLOL I'm kvelling.
Have seen Avenue Q a few times and intend to see it whenever and wherever I can get to it.
I'd see Avenue Jew, too, wouldn't you?!
I wonder if the pink puppet in this show was an early design concept for Kate Monster that no one could bear to throw out when they decided to make her a single-rod puppet with light brown fur.
Actually, I believe
Kate was going to be human, but they turned her into a Monster.
That's actually one of Rick's utility puppets.
I love how Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof come together and at the end they shit on US conservatives and Broadway critics.
Who the hell is this kid?! xD!!
Haha yes! Best part ever! Love this video xD
I think he was in Nine, Papa*
@@KanaidBlack What is the joke there?
@@dustyrose192 Maybe that kid was in Nine.
@@dustyrose192 The original bit of "This is Mine/Not Mine" is in Fiddler on the Roof when Tevye introduced Perchik to his daughters and Motel showed up and Teyve almost kisses him because he was kissing his daughters as well.
"Do you loooove me?"
"...No"
the girl in the orange/brownish outfit is lea michele
Jewish American Princeton! So good!
As an Israeli Jew, idk if to be offended or happy lol
Edit: forget it! I'm super proud:) and very happy lmao! the Rodney part "no foreskin attached" got me 😂😂😂
Avenue Q meets Fiddler!! lol
The girl playing Bielke is Molly Ephriam of Into The Woods 2002!
This is amazing, how did I not see this until now? :D
@reelirishboy5 Yes. She was in Fiddler at the time. She was also in the workshops for Spring Awakening!
Why is this the best thing ever???
Hugh Jackman's really good, he'll last forever .... somedaaaaaaaaaaay ........
one day more...
"Do you love me?" "No" I was dying after this
"Hands off, jailbait!"
"Do you love me?"
"No."
BEST PART!
4:05 I just love John and rod! ❤
idk why on earth this happened but i'm glad it exists
It was to raise money for an aids Charity.
I love this clip it makes my day all the time!!!!
lol couldnt stop laughing after "fauther princeton and i wana get married" "ok let me make this brief" "due to tradi- yeh what ever go ahead."
Trekkie eats the violin! :)
OMG LEA MICHELE! WHO KNEW!
I was sent to Jupiter with the "Do You Love me? No!"
I've watched this video twice a day for about the last week, SO FUNNY!!
Holy shit! It's Barrett Foa at 3:37!
@antsamthompson9 oh and here is the list of puppeteers
Rick Lyon-Nicky/Trekkie/Bear (understudy Martin P. Robinson)
Stephanie D'Abruzzo-Kate Monster (understudy Leslie Carrarra-Rudolph)
John Tartaglia-Princeton/Rod (u/s Matt Vogel,David Rudman)
Jen Barnhart-Ms.T/Bear (u/s Pam Arciero)
what do you think?
this is literally the best video ever!
NickJfanclub1 Barrett Foa is probably a blond John Tartaglia clone, seriously every guy I've seen play Prince/Rod looks and or sounds like John T.
Barret's Princeton is fine, but i can't stand his rod.... His puppetry is also (in my head) not very good... But again Next to all these proffecionals it makes sence... But you know, no one Can beat The Tartaglia in my head ;)
Are you fond of Darren Bluestone or Perry Sherman they're good too! Hey, you know what I was wondering,what if Rick and John swapped roles as Rod and Nicky? (because at one point Frank Oz and Jim Henson swapped roles as Ernie and Bert) What would that've been like?
Yea, i Like Darren Bluestone, but still not as much as Johnny!! I would've loved to see Rick & Johnny swap Roles... At some point we have heard Rick do Princeton ( the newcomer sounds like him) & Johnny's Kermit The Frog impression reminds me of Nicky!! But i would love to see Rick do Rod!!! And Johnny do Trekkie!! That would be fun :)
John's Trekkie would probably sound like his Cookie Monster impression. Rick's Rod would sound more like Frank Oz's Bert.
Oh Yeah Johnny's cookie monster!! That's right!! Totally forgot about that... I'd love to Hear Ricks Rod... I have a feeling Too, that it would Sound like Frank's Bert... So that would be pretty interesting :)
