Just got back from seeing Avenue Q and was wondering if anyone else was a little disappointed in it. I am not sure if my expectations were so high that it never could have lived up to what I thought or what. I enjoyed the show but it isn't one that I would see repeatedly (like most of the shows I've seen recently.)
I was really hoping that I would see why it beat Wicked for the Tony but now that I've seen both, I really think Wicked deserved to win. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same or if for some reason it just wasn't my type of show.

What were you disapointed about with Avenue Q? I thought it was really wonderful. Was John Tartaglia in? Or was Barrett Foa in for him? Both are EXCELLENT performers, and great guys to talk to.

I definitely wasn't disappointed by Avenue Q. If anything, I expected less than what was delivered... I didn't go in there with high hopes (despite all the raves I was hearing from friends), but was pleasantly surprised.

I was very pleasantly suprised by Avenue Q. But I do have to admit that the original reason that I wanted to see it was because I heard that Bernadette saw it.

John T. was not in it. Peter Linz was in his place (I think John is on vacation for the next 2 weeks.) I loved all the actors, especially Stephanie and Ann. It wasnt that I didn't like it because I did. I think my expectations were just so high and it was a little different than I anticipated. Plus, I've had my tickets for a few months now which only made the wait and anticipation even greater. Don't get me wrong, it was a good show...just not what I expected. I dont know if John's absence played a part or not...I thought Peter did a good job. Who knows.

I loved Avenue Q and thought it deserved to win over Wicked. I'll probably see it again as I'm sure I missed some things.
On a different subject I got my OBC of Assassins yesterday and have been listening to it since. I thought the show was great, but it probably doesn't tranlate well to those who didn't see it but listen to the OBC.
