Avenue Q - royal Variety Performance

[HowBrightWeShineDude]

i kept shouting 'NOOOOO!! ENJOLRAS!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!'

[Monkeyballmania]

@HowBrightWeShineDude XD I personally can't decide between Jonjolras and Princejon on who I prefer. He's good at both parts.

[MsThetre]

Part of the reason he is a man in this production Is also that the british r less likely 2 get the joke cuz hes an american actor

[plasmavore]

TOSH! WE MISSED YOU.

[musicalfan301]

Hey at 8:07 you can see Jon's mic going through his hair

OMiGoD WHO CARES??

Sorry i'm just noticin all kinds of weird things

[Trojianmaru]

kinda a pity they had to shorten it so much

[PoetChick95]

the guy who does the voice of nicky is cute ^^

[lotrhpluvr]

@PoetChick95 yea, simon lipkin *sigh*

[Atv111696]

In the window moving. . . . is that Trekki Monster jerking off?

[lolliepop90]

By far I prefer the British. For once, I can look at the singers without cringing because of their voice/weight/pathetic voice. Besides, Gary Coleman is a MAN. Not a WOMAN.

[2cat007]

@lolliepop90 They made him a women becuase they wanted to mess with his gender.

[lolliepop90]

@2cat007 Which is wrong.

[2cat007]

@lolliepop90 I know it is,thats just why they did

[dreemaze]

Sorry, but the person who plays Christmas Eve isn't very a strong performer. Her accent isn't as sharp as the original

[TheSufferingFool]

Love Naoko Mori... :)

[doggyking07]

I don't like the changed lyrics

[TheMoonPower]

I've seen livelier audiences in a trash can. -_-

[gammyfootify]

@TheMoonPower well considering the royal variety is usually televised i would expect they are told to be quiet or something

[Deeredman4]

@rossc2010 that's a good thing...it means we can hear avenue q better :D

[alexmonia]

wow...crowd is not impressed haha

[xXxSkiLarxXx]

the girl doing the puppet voice is hot and has an amazing voice, what is her name?

[lamcoco1]

@xXxSkiLarxXx julie atherton, she's pretty damn talented.

[LittleMissPsychotic]

It's TOSH! xD

[kkboy13]

she is probably the best Lucy out of all the other Casts out there!

[omaster567]

on day Jeff Dunham should make a gest part in this =)

[omaster567]

on day Jeff Dunham should make a gest part in this =)

[lamcoco1]

@omaster567 combining two of my favorite things? LOVE. <3

[driverjackboy]

should of done the internet is for porn would of been funny

[ztslovebird]

What exactly is the Royal Variety Performance? An award show, or a showcase of what's playing in the West End every musical theatre season?

[Wickedlymiserables]

@ztslovebird It's just a big performance showcasing/promoting popular/upcoming/new peices of entertainment for the british public to enjoy.

[GrimdourTheRampager]

It's a big performance for the Royal Family.

[michelleisme]

Who played princeton/rod in this? (Sorry I'm new to the show & that guy looks soo familiar to me)

[ztslovebird]

@michelleisme Jon Robyns.

[lwest20]

is the japanese girl off torchwood??

[Dlareme180]

@lwest20 Yes I believe it is her.

[Dlareme180]

@lwest20 Yes I believe it is her.

[JezabelCumming]

:D I could NOT stop smiling at this lol when Princeston at the end sang with the others all I could do was smile huge XD

[JediSlayer22]

Is that Rachel Jerram playing Mrs Thistletwat?

[pastarena]

@JediSlayer22 nope claire forster

[JediSlayer22]

@pastarena Thanks very much

[gaskell97]

Did them steps just move??

[53tgh1]

look at Nicky's dead arm XD

[OLIVIA1998ist]

The guy who plays princeton and once the best ones the best oens r hima nd the original broadway one xx

[Puppetboy49]

My dream to direct and/or be in a play like this :D

[Timamalao]

LOL Julie's face at 4:29!!! :D LOVE IT!

[thefutureA]

haha I love this Gary Coleman. He has a great voice.

[SVFreedomFighters]

who else saw the stair move when brian tries to leave?

[Timamalao]

@SVFreedomFighters LOL! That, and his awkward shuffle! xD

[wordsonthefloor]

I have a hard time keeping my eyes on Lucy the Slut because Julie is so cute.

[lolliepop90]

@wordsonthefloor She is so adorable, I would pick british over american anyday. Simply because of the talent that Julie has.

[DXAB91]

good evening gentleman and...obsticles to those gentleman

[DanRJonesWICKED91]

Julie Atherton is pure brilliance =P 

[Sharpolicious]

Is that Tosh from Torchwood? :O

[damanrulz70]

Watching Tosh singing... Priceless!

[BreathingForTheSoul]

Lucy the slut! =D

[ThinlyCut90]

God I love Avenue Q.

I missed my chance to see it live though, since I had to move back to my home town.

[EKaleidoscope]

I DONT HAVE ANY LEGS

[johncerasi]

Is someone jerking off in the window at 3:12?

[TheActor93]

@johncerasi well that is trekies window lol

[truebluesfan]

@johncerasi it's the plastic window wobbling and the light reflecting

[SecretTimeLady]

Naoko is AMAZING

[bnyc5131999]

ha you can see trekkie in his apartment through the window

plus they have wonderful orchestrations

[bnyc5131999]

this christmas eve absolutely SUCKS

[supahsnuffy]

@bnyc5131999 hahahahaah no. |: Naoko is amazing.

[bnyc5131999]

@supahsnuffy ok i'm sorry i have to admit that was harsh because she most definitely does not suck

but all i really meant was that the original christmas eve was a lot better

[VICTORZITOSS]

@bnyc5131999 i don't know dude... the old one was, simply, different. I mean, the old one scream more at the end of each part( sorry for bad english) but give a bit of more parodic voice. This one sings better and is more active in the scenario. I thing i prefer this one.

[MultiPearl007]

@pete2010f1 when did it happen? And its Jon not John

[MultiPearl007]

The S word and the F word?

You are in front of royalty and we are not amused!

[JAMbannana]

I wonder what the prince was thinking

[shenerdist]

"Fu!'*bleep*

[pingufan11]

@shenerdist i love that bit! 

[archbabyee]

I wish you could by the English's cast's soundtrack- some of the lyrics are different!

[ticketin128]

i like the american japinies lady better

[AnimeRocks10223]

"OMG ITS GARY COLEMAN!"

"Yes i am!"

No your not -.-

[pilchard96]

The badly-timed beep makes the fuck 5x funnier :')

[MsSkullcandy31]

The most funny part is when nicky and princeston look down when the queen says "I don't have any legs." XD XD I died

[1234tomj]

he slipped on thwe stairs

[TheGeorgiaRiley]

who ever plays Kate is fabulous!, she certainly doesn't suck.

[sydthekid492]

@TheGeorgiaRiley its julie atherton, and i know right!!!

[WickedlyBlonde16]

they failed bleeping out the swear word haha! they are amazing

[me89360]

the japanese women isn't as good as the other japanese women in the other videos

[Channel13prodoctions]

What in earth is moving in the window at 3:39? Maybe it's Trekkie? :P

[pingufan11]

@Channel13prodoctions i don't think tekkie was in this, so it can't be!!! ;)

[JediSlayer22]

As much as I love Naoko Mori, she just can't pull this off.

[MiraLeeC]

It's bizarre watching Naoko in this after watching all of Torchwood.

[FireIceQueen01]

John is SO CUTE!! <33

[Manafichu]

LOL!

YOU are being TOO LOUD and TOO RUDE! The S word and the F word... you are in front of ROYALTY, and WE are NOT AMUSED!

[scarletbeattie123]

6 people suck

[janushst]

did anyone see the backstage-guy at 6:00 ? ^^

[FireIceQueen01]

@janushst I did!! WOOHOO!! Lol.

[EvilgidgitReturns]

I find it awesome that most of the characters are based on Sesame Street residents.

[PixelPixie123]

"EXXCCCUUUUSSEEE ME! I DON'T HAVE ANY LEGS!" *Princeton and Nicky look down* XD Lol!

[Daydreamer1996]

LOL the bleep was a little late there!

[Trojianmaru]

XD I wish I could of seen the Royal Family's reaction to being included in the act, can just picture the prince laughing his ass off, n apprently the queen has an awesome sense of humor, always pranking n using the fact that nobody would dare be rude to her to get away with stuff.

n it just has to be said :p Rayne Summers tottaly had a threesome with Julie Atherton and Kate monster XD LICD.com ftw

[shaqman145]

Does anyone notice that when they say "Geaorge Busch is only for now." that here evrytime they say it it sounds like the audience gonna crap their pants, but in foreign countries they really don't???

[Izzy41630]

@shaqman145 Maybe because it's just funnier because Americans have had to deal with him more.

I mean, if they had said 'Stephen Harper', instead, being a Canadian, I would have damn near pissed myself laughing. But how many people in other countries would have?

Your own bad leaders are just more fun to make fun of.

[JoelChenFa]

@shaqman145 They do in Singapore

[Siobhanxo95]

Loveeeeee thissssss!!

[mikeride101]

Absolutley love this!!!!! :'-)

[MrArtiny]

1. Princeton, unlike other characters, looks and sounds like jonny's princeton and 2. How are Brits supposed to know who gearge bush is

[mikeride101]

@MrArtiny Wtf?!! Ofc British people know who George Bush is.. Knob!!!! Sorry but we're not completly cut off from the rest of the world.

[Siobhanxo95]

@MrArtiny No affence but we dont live under a rock? we know who George Bush is :L

[Trojianmaru]

@MrArtiny we spend most of our time laughing at stupid redneck George Bush (:p n least we can spell his name) n considering our former Sell out Prime Minister Tony Blair spent half his time with his tong up Bush's ass, of course we knew who he was (hell if Blair didn't love bush so much, we wouldn't of even got involved in Iraq, n even before that we heard about all the stupid stuff he did, n any time he was shown in some kinda scetch show, he was the retarded kid with the nukes)

[punroxy2012]

the japanese person has a bad accent haha

[MazzaCxx]

@eveAintCool 'hello gentlemen and  . . . obsticles to those gentlemen'

[justinbeieberxx]

Clare foster is millie brown in the bill wahoo go clare

[gayAnt1704]

obsticles to those gentlemen

[jamtojake]

when brian gets on those steps he slips :L

[Dustehue928]

@jamtojake Hmm no looks like lose stairs. I doubt the stairs are made from something as heavy as stone or cement

[Sexyboy1243]

@Dustehue928 Standard for theatre is 2x4s and 3/4inch plywood - which they could be made out of, but it doesn't look like the were bracketed to the rest of the set. And why anyone wouldn't attach them to the set is just dumb.

[eveAintCool]

Couldn't figure out Lucy's words when she first showed up: "Hello, gentlemen and ******* gentlemen."

What's that? Sounded like "obsticlesticles gentlemen"....

[ThanatosPhoenix]

@eveAintCool She says "Hello, gentlemen and obstacles to those gentlemen."

She was talking about the ladies when she said "obstacles to those gentlemen."

[kirstyasher2]

Jon Robyns!! ♥

[appleguy1804]

i still feel they nailed it for the royalty performance! :D

[MsBeastIAm]

"Fuck!.... BEEP"

[McRLuVerZ]

toshiko sato.. hahahahahha i knew it it's naoko mori!!!

[pete2010f1]

Did anyone else see john slip, then nearly trip himself?

[TheBeastPuppy28]

@pete2010f1 When?

[pete2010f1]

@TheBeastPuppy28 when he spins to say "you know what" to nicky, 1:40 and at 2:12 when they start to skip (timing might be a bit off)

[TheBeastPuppy28]

@pete2010f1 Oh, thanks!

[53tgh1]

@pete2010f1 no when did he slip? and which ones John? :/

[BADGWOLF]

hahahahahha naoko :D

[Jazzzkidd]

4:30 great faces

[WiggsMaGee]

Eh i found the children in need one better, ifound that since they skipped the conversatiosn inbetween sort of ruined it

[LetsMakeUp21]

@WiggsMaGee well they have to keep to a time slot x

[atrain118]

Who was she singing special to? Was it really prince charles?

[artyowen92]

@atrain118 yeah it was to prince charles! hahaha

[atrain118]

@artyowen92 I really wish they would've showed his reactions to that. They must have been priceless.

[artyowen92]

@atrain118 hahaha me too! I imagine he as pretty embarrassed!! my favourite bit is when they miss the beeping on the swearing near the beginning, so its like fu*BEEP*ck! hahaha

[orr89]

tosh :-D

[goku1047]

1:07 the stairs Bryan is walking up moves

[BlueRowan]

this performance is the best ever for lots of reasons, the band is bigger, they sing really well and its full off loads of movements and jokes like when princeton looks to see if he has legs and at the end princeton and nicky hi-five eachother. im really gonna miss Avenue Q London :( Bad Times

[emopinata12345]

One of Julie Atherton's best performances! :)

[olivialawuk]

FAVOURITE BRIAN EVER.

[Shadowsama91]

I love how @ 7:47 Rod and Princeton look down to see if they have legs

[laurab8383]

I love when Simon/Nicky sings 'Each time you smile', it's so adorable!

[HappyMadisonDude]

1:07- 1:08 Brian slips lol xD Great Performance!! :D

[DeathSlayerV]

@no1kaykay ditto!

[DeathSlayerV]

Who is Princeton/Rod in this cast? And God I love this performance!

[MyAnimatedRomance]

OMG I never realized it was Naoko Mori from Torchwood the last time I saw this XD lol I'm slow

[NHall609]

did anyone notice the man almost trip over the moving steps at 1:09?? lol

[DeathSlayerV]

@NHall609 Yesh I did... yet I didn't see anyone moving the stairs. I just saw that he lost his balance, causing the movement...

[NHall609]

@DeathSlayerV thats what i said he tripped when the steps moved

[ParamoreFan006]

why isn't the audience laughing?! It's hi-larious!

[DeathSlayerV]

@ParamoreFan006 They are, you just don't notice- and hey, they don't wanna laugh at the wrong jokes and get beheaded by Thistletwat! If the king isn't gonna do it, she'll get the job done... :S

[BlueRowan]

brian almost falls on the steps at 1:08 LMAO

[Jazzzkidd]

I like how Brian was walking up the stairs as he said "I think so" and the stairs moved away from under him

[LucyCannibleyones]

the girl hndling rod during 'for now' is so tall...i love this musical :D

[Bazinga889]

Saw this in Brisbane on the Australian Tour. Most entertaining show I've ever seen. Make sure you never ever ever miss a chance to see it!!

[rainygreygirl26]

omg Naoko is amazing!! :D i love her!

[carddealer293]

What's happening in the window at 3:13?????

[DeathSlayerV]

@carddealer293 I think it's Trekkie Monster "investing" in the only stable market in a recession. As for what that investment is, find that out yourself.............

[shanmer391]

Guy who does Princeton and Rod= CUUUUTTTE!

[neos1234125]

Why is Naoko in this but no other videos?

[MissRnR]

@neos1234125 She wasn't the origianal Christamas Eve and they mainly performed TV shows with the original. She must have just taken over at that point.

[doctordavidtennant]

YEY naoki!!!!!

[mylovelydame21]

This is the most awesome show! I saw it for my birthday last year and it was HILARIOUS! Everybody should see it!

[Neyna99]

i would love to see simon and jon live but it's so sad they aren't on ave q anymore :'(

[EclipseHorse7]

nor is julie =( - bad times .. i'm hopefully going to finally get to see avenue q early 2010, but gutted that simons not in it anymore =(

[westlife4life93]

i love Noako

[destructor3000721]

It's weird how Trekkie appear only at the end...

[jus0111]

im gonna see this in 2 weeks in Sydney......CANT WAIT!

[Darkpup15]

lol let us now how AWESOME it is!

[jus0111]

will do......13 days to go HOORAY!

[gladrial89]

wow what a dead audience in the begining.

Cmon guys! This stuff is funny!

[Rachel130989]

i don't think they realised how brilliant the show was until the end. I mean if you haven't seen it before, then a musical with puppets does seem a little weird.

Just listen to the applause at the end...

[angelbabecats]

i love the womans dress at the beginning

[iadoremanga]

Who does the voices for Kate monster and Lucy? great voice!

[abeliyobcn]

Julie Atherton

[kensan9000]

the guy was about to fall in 1:09

[aliced812]

haha i laughed :L

[SuperDan53]

il love the way on Fuck, they bleep the end and not the beginning so it sounds like she said it,
