You can't tell they're nervous about the music cutting out. They're so AWESOME!! I think the a cappella version is the better one, anyway! This song would be great for a commercial for class elections at school! And Johnny is the best, cutest, most talented guy to his Broadway as of yet! And his kid's show is the best one EVER!! Playhouse Disney "magic" + Broadway Magic and music + John Tartaglia = AMAZINGNESS!!
It was kinda funny for me. The first episode I saw was Laugh, Sprites, Laugh/Hola, Lily. My first few thoughts were "Oh my God, Johnny has a right hand!", "Oh, my God, it's Gary Coleman!", and "How the hell did she hide all that hair in her little Yankees hat?"
Fucking professionals. I had no doubt it was gonna go on splendidly. These are truly great musicians, performers and actors. They pulled it through and kicked ass!
Maybe it died? Or maybe they cut it on purpose? Whichever, you can't tell if it was an accident or not, they're so smooth! And they harmonize really well! They should sing a capella more often!
@Anocoals There was supposed to be music, but the rain killed the piano. Thankfully, everyone in Avenue Q at this time was amazing and had perfect pitch, so they were able to sing a capella no problem :)
I love this cast of Avenue Q!!! =D Hey, why is there a bit of static when Kate says, " So Kerry's a *static*"? Was that on purpose or just a mic problem?
Me, too! At first, I was afraid that his show was another insult to intelligence (like the other shows on Playhouse Disney). But he has created the best kid's show EVER!!
ahh just realized I hadn't seen Johnny live cuz when I saw Shrek the Musical the guy who was playing Pinnochio was his substitute :( But I'm sure I'll see him sometime!
John was Pinochio at the Shrek Musical?! OMG I dindn't know that! And I did watch the Shrek Musical! (though I didn't know Johnny when I saw it....) :P
What little thing? The fact he's gay? What's that got to do with anything? Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's not still the hottest and most talented guy to hit Broadway yet! Or do you mean his new show? It's amazing, once you get over the initial shock! It's the only one worth watching on Playhouse Disney!
yh how was his understudie anyway i heared his name was robb sapp (dorkey name btw LOL) btw john will b bak in shrek in december so wot was robb like did he get pinocchio's voice right like john dus?
yh i no everything hes in, shrek the musical: pinocchio,magic mirror,dragon,begger(begger in the seatle show) and puss in boots. beauty and the beast: lumire. johnny and the sprites: himself Avenue Q: rod periwinkle, princeton used to be sesame street: ernie used to be on light in the piazza: ??????? the batterys down: mattew lee portein animation voices: loads of them
Well, I like George Bush, because he IS a Republican. But his opposition says that he's lived a life of privilege, and he can't even pronounce the word "nuclear". Best... line... EVER. You know, coming out of somewhere besides Avenue Q, this would be so offensive. But as it is, we all love it xD
I agree if avenue Q did this for Barrack Obama and, John McCain there chances would greatly increase the guy i want is not in the race so if i gotta choose i'll go with Obama
It's times like this I wish Avenue Q was a TV series!
Me too
They are LEGENDARY for performing in the rain AND without a keyboard.
Kudos to the folks of Avenue Q!
I love how Stephanie makes the decision to carry a tune even when the sound system was spiraling toward an inevitable demise.
She really knows the meaning of "The show must go on".
I love how even when the music kicked the bucket they kept it going. Great jokes and wonderful proffessionals.
mega props for doing that acapella! the harmonies were (for the most part) awesome!
Oh John's face when he hears the piano. Priceless !!!!

Mann, they've all got to have perfect pitch. That was ringing.
Ooh, Barrett Foa and John Tartaglia on the same stage *melts*.
That was the sound system slowly dying, because it was raining so much!
youtube wasn't around at the time of the 2004 election! and didn't catch on right away
OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS.
Poor keyboardist must have felt bad with all that rain. XD
Bloody impressive that they pulled it off anyway.
AMAZING. just amazing. I love those guys!!!!
Stephanie is fabulous.
Yeah, but I liked her better as Gary Coleman. And it's great that Johnny has total control over his show! WE LOVE YOU, JOHNNY!!

His show is AMAZING! I could go on for DAYS about all its good qualities!
I agree! They are true actors for continuing even when the piano got waterlogged halfway through the song! Kudos to Avenue Q!
THAT IS AMAZING.
When he was singing "Heart" the last time, he flipped his head back, then flipped it again when the song was over.
The show must go on!
This is a reason why I love live theater.
I hope they do it again next year!
My class elections are coming up and I will sing this!
Fucking professionals. I had no doubt it was gonna go on splendidly. These are truly great musicians, performers and actors. They pulled it through and kicked ass!

Johnny as Rod is just THE BEST *-*
I love Avenue Q
And my Favorate person in the whole cast is Jennifer Barnhart, b/c she is so nice
She let me go backstage :D
Even though the music died due to wheather, they were still great.

hah aw this was really good [:
they're all amazing performers, even with the sound system out.
Me, too! At first, I was afraid that his show was another insult to intelligence (like the other shows on Playhouse Disney). But he has created the best kid's show EVER!!
I Laughed the entire time
John Tartaglia!!! ^^ The cast so so talented.
ahh just realized I hadn't seen Johnny live cuz when I saw Shrek the Musical the guy who was playing Pinnochio was his substitute :(
But I'm sure I'll see him sometime!
I was six years old in kindergarten even though I didn't get to see this show
What happened to the music here? It just wussied out about a minute into the vid. :P
aaawww, i was just waiting for the "and then i'm gonna tell the cute one i voted for him!" xDDDD
AMAZING.
John's Rod was the best EVER!! WE LOVE YOU, JOHN AND ROD!!
the guy who will screw up less, that's priceless ^ ^
What happened to the background music? Malfunction?
wow, I love all the characters I know from that list! N' I can't believe maybe I had seen Johnny live somewhere! He's TOTALLY AWEASOME *u*
hey my question is
WHY was this uploaded 2 years AFTER that election
AHAHA! xD Rod noticed that Bush doesn't kno how to pronounce Nuclear! xD
@ShikoEYV Not only that but Rick Lyon also designed all the puppets for the show.
What I can't believe is that Stephanie D' Abruzzo is a sesame street puppeteer!!!!
Who plays Bush and Kerry?
I love to clap along to the song!
It was raining and electronic stuff doesn't like wetness. =P
John was Pinochio at the Shrek Musical?! OMG I dindn't know that! And I did watch the Shrek Musical!
(though I didn't know Johnny when I saw it....) :P
They should do it again this year! Even just with Hilary vs Obama seeing the puppets of them like they did with Bush and Kerry would be cute.
I meant that the song stopped playing due to wheather. that's all.
How did those guys in black suits with the umbrellas manage to keep straight faces?
And it your job to pick the guy who will screw up... less! xD
good
Who actually would screw it up less?
It's like Sesame Street Directors Cut
Do you mean the song SUCKS?!?!?!?! HOW can you THINK such a thing?!?!?!
john is the only reason I watch Johnny and the sprites with my kids. yummy
The music "kicked the bucket". That is what happened.
lol ya. leave it to Avenue Q to keep singing even after the piano gets screwed up. And Tartaglia didn't look half bad all wet xD
lol john your FREAKIN AWSOME!!!!!!!
HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM IN SHREK THE MUSICAL AS PINOCHIO HES SO FUNNY!
@234sirhc The same people who ran last year. It's always a popularity contest, but all the candidates are good, so no worries.
Oh, whoops, my bad. Sorry!
Why didn't they give the electric piano an umbrella :L
What little thing? The fact he's gay? What's that got to do with anything? Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's not still the hottest and most talented guy to hit Broadway yet! Or do you mean his new show? It's amazing, once you get over the initial shock! It's the only one worth watching on Playhouse Disney!
What flippy thing?????
lol! That's Nicky!
The song "kicked the bucket."
There's just something about a soaking wet John Tartaglia..... hnnng.
Johnny looks so HOT in a rain jacket, jeans, and the rain!
yh how was his understudie anyway i heared his name was robb sapp (dorkey name btw LOL) btw john will b bak in shrek in december so wot was robb like did he get pinocchio's voice right like john dus?

Well, I like George Bush, because he IS a Republican. But his opposition says that he's lived a life of privilege, and he can't even pronounce the word "nuclear".
Best... line... EVER.
You know, coming out of somewhere besides Avenue Q, this would be so offensive. But as it is, we all love it xD
It's your job to choose the guy who will screw up next! Hee hee! WE LOVE JOHNNY!! THESE GUYS HAVE GREAT A CAPELLA!!
Nicky is a slacker and is probably sleeping in instead of attending debates!
Cause puppeteers have to wear black when they're working with their puppets. And he looks SO HOT in black!
u saw johnny live lucky lucky lucky
So does Stephanie, I hope I look that good when I'm forty
-muppetlover16
