Does anyone know when John (and the rest of the OBC actually) are leaving Avenue Q?


Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

All of the cast has been signed on for another year, but, I believe(someone from the cast correct me if I'm wrong) all of the performers have an "out" in their contract. So they do have the option of taking something else. But, Stephanie has said several times how much they all love the show and want to stay with it as long as possible.


Word. Word, indeed.

They're all talented, but not 'breakout star' talent (at least to me) like Raul Esparza or Kristen Chenowith. They're smart to stay employed as long as possible.

Watch what you say about them. They are HUGE!
And if you don't think so, I do so watch it.
Probably the most talented and nicest performers I have ever met and interviewed.

midtown, it's admittedly hard to have a "breakout" performance in a show that's dependent on ensemble and the chemistry therein. That being said, I think Johnny Tags definitely has the "IT" and I look forward to seeing him in many other things in the future.

I didn't say they weren't nice! I don't think they're huge either. They're all good, just not breakout. They all belong on Broadway, OK!?!

Ann (Harada) will be leaving soon to have her baby, it should be in about a week or so that she leaves. During the time she's gone Ann Sanders will be playing Christmas Eve.

However, everyone should still be in it come January unless, of course, there are the normal absenses that people take, etc.


And hang on, when did you win the discus?

#24re: JohnTartaglia's Contract
Posted: 10/11/04 at 3:43pm

wicked: 2 tries, 0 wins
Rent: 3 tries, 2 wins
Avenue Q: 1 try, 0 wins

..I would LOVE to win ANY of them!
