But to be honest, the show ROCKS!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard the soundtrack to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avenueq.com\">Avenue Q<\/a>, go rent, borrow, buy, steal it.<\/p>\n<p>I have purchased muchly schwag, including gifts for twoooo special friends who I think will be very happy. Well, except for the jealousy of not having seen it yet.<\/p>\n<p>For those who&#8217;ve listened to the soundtrack, the show has a bit more to it that the soundtrack hides. I firmly recommend this show!<\/p>\n<p><!--more Soundtrack spoiler alert-->I will admit, the songs are much faster as if they need to meet a deadline with show time. Also, some bits are cut from the soundtrack. The intervention part of &#8220;Life outside&#8221; is cut, adjustments are made to the song. (No more pot references there or in Purpose.)<\/p>\n<p>When you help others is also cut. References to Christmas Eve selling the wedding gifts was cut as well as Gary&#8217;s solo bit.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I actually liked the Kate\/Lucy and Gary better from the production than from the soundtrack. The Princeton\/Rod was awesome. Trekkie\/Nikky was good, but I prefer Lyon from the soundtrack and look forwards to seeing him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes, I will return to Vegas to see this show repeatedly!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1594\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2005\/08\/27\/i-have-seen-q\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1594\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2005\/08\/27\/i-have-seen-q\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1594\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2005\/08\/27\/i-have-seen-q\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2005\/08\/27\/i-have-seen-q\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it is true.
