Avenue Q Cast change London Curtain Call

[rosephoeniix]

I SWEAR 1:18 to the end actually killed me!!! I loved how emotional they got, it made them feel like real people!

[OhGodIPooed]

<:(  the hug at 1:19 was adorable! i wish they would come back

[the77truths]

1:18 the only thing that could've made it better was if they made out instead of hugging.

...i'm just saying.

[kmavek]

Do you have the entire show?

[boyslikegirlsthunder]

SAD. SAD. SAD. julie is the best kate monster ever.

[teleryn0the0kitten]

1:20 AWWWWWW! Simon and Jon, it';s adorable!!!!

[MissMismagius]

WHo the hell is making those noises? WHROOOA??? like knives

[MollyMxx]

Im going to Julies last night on Oct 3rd, very sad about her leaving!

[irishpiccolo]

oh i'd LOVE to be there! Really going to miss her :(

[kerryellisisbest]

She left but then she came back. Easy as that.

[Neyna99]

omg i can't see jon and simon cry... :'(  so sad they are not on avenue q anymore...

[BAGibb]

I have to say I was unfortunate not to see thee OLC, but I love the new cast, Avenue Q has the best understudies for any show. I saw Tom Parsons as Nicky/Trekkie and he is awesome, theres a vid of him here for West end live somewhere lol

[deeter131]

Princeton is HOT. Be my gay lover!!

[ashKay16]

Who is Princeton??? And did he leave!?!?!?

[gags24601]

Jon Robyns and Yes he did leave, he later on became Marius in Les Miz!

[bezzybecks123]

SIMON YOU ARE ACE!!!!

[actingjjj]

Oh, the poor guys. Imagine doing all those shows and then leaving!

[BAGibb]

btw guys it's not closing any more, just moving to gielgud theatre, will reopen on june 1st :D

[madhatterbecky]

Yeh it shuts on 28th March, I'm going to see it on the 21st :p just go to the main avenue q site (google it) and theres a cast list there :)

[xshotgunweddingpatdx]

is it true that it closes 28th of march?

[charleyrockstar]

yerrpp :( just been to see it so i was like yay!!

[Kitsiaaoox]

I saw Avenue Q last night

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!

I had Julie playing Kate&Lucy the slut, so she is still there.

And that guy playing Gary, some r still there

we had a different brian to that though.

[snowpeachairten]

Well she did leave but she came back again a year later.

[DiscountNachos]

simon is gone.....?

[PuppetsNStuff]

I was there too! It was the understudy Brian, wasn't it? I thought he did pretty well! Unbelieveably glad Julie is back though! No one can compare to her!

[xshotgunweddingpatdx]

OMG! Julie is still there?!

ive been looking for current cast lists and cant find them, im going to see it for my brithday in a few weeks :]

[laino75]

i just love julie, i wish they come to argentina :(

[mariosbrother]

Julie Atherton is back on stage since Decmber 2008, and will be playing till they closdown on March 28th.

I saw her last week in the show, she is really amazing.

[K3V1Nbot]

wat that their last show? :{

[xxDaisyxx2007xx]

Julie Julie Julie.

She was so epic.

Nobody, NOBODY could EVER replace her on the Avenue Q stage!!!!!

[kairi4evur]

everybody cheered very loudly for Julie and she deserved that praise.

[spiderpigchick17]

Julie Atherton is my IDOL!!!!!!! She's the most amazing actress i've ever seen!

[BlackHallow55]

These guys were incredible, the new cast is kinda boring. They do okay though.

[spiderpigchick17]

no one could replace the cast before them. it was amazing with Julie Atherton!

[FranBMan]

What are you talking about? The new cast are ace.

[himekafan]

GOSH my fave cast of all

WHY THEM WHY CHANGE?

i like this cast...................althoug­h i hav never seen

avenue q before

[AyuChan90]

ohhh i love jon robyns....i REALLY wanted to see HIM when i'm going to see ave q this year... =(

[FranBMan]

I so know how these guys feel. Ending a show is just... Soul destroying. And with something as fantastical and as unique as Ave Q, I can't imagine how hard it must be for them.

[Weirdasaurus]

I know I'm like, late on things but does anyone know /why/ the five left...?

[snowpeachairten]

Their contracts were up. Simple as that and they had been in the show for a long time so they probably wanted some change.

[7ChocolateMusic4]

Wahey, my 1st ever post here on utube. Well, I saw Avenue Q for the 4th time the other day. I thought 3 cast members had changed, but no ... 5 had! Nooooo. The original Brian was better. This Christmas Eve was better than the last one but not as good as the first one I saw in Christmas 06. The actors that played Nikki/Trekkie, Princeton/Rod - The original actors are muc much better. As 4 lovely Julie playing Lucy/Kate, the show has lost a true star! I was so disappointed. The magic has gone! xx

[FranBMan]

Simon and Jon hugging makes me cry. I love those two. I hope the new Rod and Nicky have the same bond.

[Applepig96]

aww 1:21 was so sweet. I cant believe the guys who played Rod and Nicky left! are there new guys playing them now????

[FranBMan]

Daniel Boys, off Any Dream Will Do and Mark Goldthorp. Both very different, both very good. The original London cast will always have something special, but the new guys are more than a match for them.

[webkinzgal21]

i don't get it...who's leaving???

[Corbin800]

the guy that plays Brian, the girl who played Chrismas Eve, the girl how played Kate and then rod and nicky

[webkinzgal21]

NO!!!!! </3! SIMON LIPKIN IS KEWL!!!!

[WarningHighlyRandom]

i cried when simon and jon shared a hug! that's what made me burst into tears! oh god...

[lewme01]

just saw the show yesterday...in my mindd i liked the new cast better although i have only seen the originals on clips! they were all amazing...what a brilliant show!!

[sternsnape]

oh my, i was there on that day, it was sad as hell. they were all amazing at the stage door later on though. sort of harsh to have 5 of them leave at once, especially cuz it was one of the most flawless cast in the west end. The new cast, i agree as i have seen them three times, sucks. chris thatcher as trekkie and nickey's first understadu is amazing, i wish he'd just take over.

[sianysian93]

Chris Thatchers left now as well :(

[sternsnape]

shit no. and he never even became a regular. goddamnit. i was planning on flying in to see ave q for the 7th time in july and hoping to catch him on. i fear for this show now. don't tell me mary is gone too

[billybob4eva]

sorry but marys gone too and so has delroy.

[therandomgirlie]

WHAT! Delroy hasn't gone! Has he? He was at West End Live on June 22nd. Please tell me he hasn't gone! We met him and he was SO nice!

[FranBMan]

Yeah, Delroy's gone. I saw him twice though, which is really nice. He's an absolute sweetheart.

[Fudgesmoothies]

He has, he gave his last performance on june 22nd then the new guy took over

[Northern1Lass]

went to see it last night, new cast, very very dissapointed im afraid to say

[TimKoopman10]

i saw this whole cast, except from jon robyns and i had the other gary, the first one.

it's a wonderful show, and i recomand it to everybody!

[clonedstarman]

Did the whole cast leave or just some of them. Because I know Julie already left.

[kadysuperswing]

At this performance Julie, Simon, Jon and Sion from the original cast left.

[vansclassics]

i went to see the matinee that night .. i really wanted to see the late night one :(

but i still love it

[peteandurnot]

I saw the Matinee Show just before Christmas. Is the later show any different?

[vansclassics]

no .. it was only that was the night that the original cast left .. and they did a lil speech thingy at the end (the video explains it) ..(btw im in love with the original british cast ..)

x

[princ3sscute17]

omg.. simon lipkin its not animore in avenue q??? !!

[talitacba]

I think he left! :(

[LittleDancingCat]

they just announced him leaving in the video you just watched.

[ztslovebird]

Cool! Do you have the whole performance? I'm just asking cause I wanted to know how their performance differred from the original Broadway performance.

[aegelko]

the lyrics digger slightly

[ztslovebird]

Differ?

[aegelko]

yeah that's what i meant

[ztslovebird]

lol I know; just checking!

[Rosxs]

FINALLY!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID!!!!! I was at the back of the stalls but it was still their best performance ever! The stage door was really crowded though, and I had loads of things ofr them to sign. Did anyone get the footage of Jon falling over in the money song? I need to prove my case to friends! lol

Thanks for putting this up, it means alot to us all

[Jenna10227]

Oh my god! I have to see that!!! Holy crap, someone please post it!! xD xD

[Rosxs]

I don't think anyone has it, either that or they're being greedy and don't want to share it!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jenna10227]

lol xD

[LittleDancingCat]

no footage..but there were some moments i wish i had got on film! Did you see Julie lose her shoe at the very end? It was right in front of my friend and me!

I literally shoved my way through people to get all their autographs!

[Rosxs]

XD lol

I've only just recently seen the new cast (I saw it randomly then I saw it on wednesday again!) And Daniel Boys came with Princeton stright to us for the money song. I had almost EXACTLY the same seats as I had on their final night. But I can't believe they came that close! There were fewer people there so he was able to walk through the empty rows. SOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!

[Dreamworksprogram]

Bless them!

[Darkranth]

Noooooo!!!! All my favorites! Where are they going?!?! No come back!!!

[Jenna10227]

Lol that comment made may day. Ahh funny stuff...

[peteandurnot]

I only got to see this for the First time in December. I actually didn't know Julie Atherton had left but I still enjoyed the Performance very much. Rebecca Lock, her replacement is very good.

[StarlightzPlace]

just 2 say: SAD!! :´(

[Jenna10227]

Omg that was so sad. The hugs... Jon Robyns holding his hand over his face to keep back tears... I wish I could of seen their final preformance so badly. :'(

[jez4doug]

i went to see this in august and i really wanted to go and see it again before simon left. he was truely awesome.

sadly i couldnt get down to london. :'(

hes amazing. <3

[VeryCleverTheatre]

I was down there, front row on the far right with my Jon Robyns banner :)

That was such a brilliant last performance...emotional, and so sad, but brilliant.

Should have seen stage door afterwards though!

Also, gotta love the little reprise of purpose that the band do! Love those drums. Bum, Cha, Budum, BADADADUDUM!

[snowprincess24]

omg u gt this on camera?? the OLC rule. totally.

[MidgetGemLuisa]

Ahhh bless em! Thanks x

[cherrydrops]

Oh you got that on film!

I was just thinking of that and how sad it was, aw, amazing times!

[hectorismyhomeboy]
