“Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist.” “If You Were Gay.” “The Internet Is For Porn.” These are just a few of the amazing songs in Broadway hit Avenue Q. And before you start making fun of me for talking about a musical, you really need to hear me out.
Avenue Q is an award-winning production starring puppets who use profanity and deal with very adult issues. There is an old lady character (who I obviously want to punch in the face) named Mrs. Thistletwat and another character based on washed up actor Gary Coleman ... that is usually played by a woman. Oh, and did I mention the puppets have sex on stage? Yeah, Avenue Q is amazing.
If that description doesn’t get you to line up for tickets, maybe this will: The voice of Yuffie in Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy: Advent Children herself -- Christy Carlson Romano -- will be joining the cast on September 29th. She will be playing the roles of main character Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut.
If you live in the New York area you should go check out the show and support her. If anything, seeing a Broadway theater full of nerds in cosplay would be a once and a lifetime experience. Until David Hayter lands the role of Jean Val Jean in Les Miz. Am I right? Er ... I mean ... uh ... did you guys see the Giants play last night? Man, that was a great game. BOOBIES!

That's my theme song.
And Christy Carlson Romano, yes please.
But then, I would like to see Avenue Q sometime...
*Grabs his dick and double clicks*
Anyway, Chad, did you know that Shrek the musical was opening up in Seattle during PAX?? and that Princeton from the original cast of Avenue Q (John Tartaglia) plays Pinocchio in it? <3
/me shows off his musical-nerdness <3
I think he meant that Christy Carlson Romano was the voice of Yuffie in those two games, not that those were Yuffie's only appearances. At least that's how I read it.
Exactly. :)
@SourGr8pes,
She is indeed in Final Fantasy VII. Just not her voice. ;)
So now I have my answer! Weird. Also, I've never heard of this show, sounds pretty hilarious.
Thanks Chad! Very interesting, glad it was brought to my attention!

so unless I turn into a Jumper I probably wont see her in that role :(
Either way, do want.
NICE
Like Menzel and Chenoweth in Wicked, each successive perform is just attempting to be the originals.
*gets off his soap box*
I'll admit I'm a total snob for musicals, and that it has nothing to do with the article, which connects a new cast member to the cast, but its just frustrating that this one musical is like... the only show I will ever find on a gamer's Zune. Oh well, it could be worse...
