    Rod was amazing. He really brought the puppet to life. The choreography really put emphasis on the songs. As a big fan of the show and the Original Broadway cast, this cast did really well and some of the characters did better than even some broadway actors that took over the roles. The real hand puppeteers worked well together. Great production overall!!!!!

Although i love John Tartaglia with my heart, I think that this Princeton was better, but John Tartaglia is a better Rod I believe because he makes me beam with happiness. And the OBC Trekkie and Kate were better but this cast was still good. Both Nickys were phenomenal. I think the Bad Idea Bears in this cast were better. Both Garys are great but I prefer the OBC one better ❤️

    I've been wanting to see Avenue Q for almost 10 years now but there's never been a performance in my area. This is the only high quality performance on RUclips and the only way I've been able to experience this amazing musical. Great job to the cast and crew!

      it's been around 10 years for me, too! my friend got me into the soundtrack back in middle school/high school, and i probably listened to the cd all day, every day for a long time. always wanted to know what the plot was and how they preformed it. recently got into other musicals, and realized that this was technically my first musical, and then realized i could probably finally watch it!

    This show was a low-key masterpiece of deep lyrics, catchy tunes, and comedy sugar to help the pill go down. I love entertainment that's legitimately nutritious for the mind and soul too. The ending song is my spirit-animal.
