Avenue Q - It Sucks to be Me

[PhantomloverSNAFU]

This is SO funny! xD

[Gryfu1]

Really? Did they really just do this? Did they REALLY do an entire full production of Avenue Q WITHOUT the puppets? Who's the fucking idiot that came up with that?

[emilysgotcurls]

Oh my God it's Gary Coleman!

I died.

[ChristyCullen101]

THIS IS SO CUTE, HOW IS YOUR SCHOOL SO COOL?

[polkadotturtles]

Damn you Canterbury Im so jealous!!!

[MyIpodIzMyLife]

The "Japanese lady cracked me up on her "breathing session" xD

[hodoboc]

The girl playing Kate is very pretty. The show was very well played. I like the attention that you paid on the details...

[AniManFan3]

Please, Switch Rod and Nicky's acotrs, just... please.

That Voice )0.0

[ninjalily13]

Me and my friends are gonna try and do this next year at our school. It should be fun!

[DarkDianos]

AWESOME. Did you do only this scene, or all of it? If you didn't do all of it, YOU SHOULD! :) Love it! :)

[phoobear432]

lol that was freakin awesome!!!

[tommatt007]

princeton is too camp... he should be rod

[3fatkid]

@tommatt007 i hear that....yeesh....

[LetsMakeUp21]

lovelovelove x

[Angie2343]

The UK and Broadway versions of this are better, but your singing is fantastic.

[pippozg]

i go to school here now in the literary arts program

[jellyjess911]

this guy (Princeton) doesn't seem like he would be able to get layed...

[TheDannen]

This was not even a high school production. Students put this one number together to perform in a simple school assembly.

[ShadowHammer321]

incredible! best performance of this not by the professional casts!

[silvernsilver11111]

why are people being stupid! In the broadway show nicky LOOKS gay and acts a bit gay but he is straight... and rod looks straight an... yea has some gay moments and is gay... they DRESS how they are supoosed to look! GET OVER IT

[phionexflames]

You would of thought Nicky was the gay one....

[briana887]

ok the nicky and rod characters should switch cause the guy who plays nicky looks really gay and the guy who plays rod looks straight. and it's the opposite. btw the guy who plays rod is really cute.

[animerXroxXmyXsoxX1]

Ok the guy who played Princeton shouyld've been rod as said BUT I love it either way

[konekohime825]

So, Christmas Eve is supposed to be extremely stereotypical, down to the way she talks and dresses. But there's a reason why she is portrayed by Japanese (or at least East Asian) women on stage - because it isn't considered racist (or at least, nearly as racist) for people to make fun of their own race. :\

[ohmagaod]

why is nicky the gay one?

[Ksmicer]

@ohmagaod i think they were aiming at annoying as hell and overly energetic.

[Jazzzkidd]

The singing's good, the acting...is close. Why are Princeton and Nikki so flaming? Gary's entrance = creative/funny! I know that in this play they preach that 'everyone's a little bit racist', but having Christmas Eve in a Kimono and bouncing around/speaking like she was was borderline legit racist.

[AustinLikesPepsi]

Why does the guy who plays princeton have the gay "s" sound?

[windpotato]

not bad singers but everybody Way overdid everything

[119matburn]

i love this play

[pie2pie1pie]

the muppets are funnyer :P

[Juniorain]

"I like romantic things like music and aaaaarrrrrt!"

[jackskellingtonsora]

Rod and Nicky need to be switched and Gary Colman sounds like he is congested and Christmas Eve is not Japanese.

Otherwise, quite good for a high school production. xD

[TheJesusSucks]

They cut out when she cries "Fuck!"

[screamproductions23]

Is there more i want to see more... Although princeton acted like Rod and Rod acted like Princeton.

[00MissDani00]

Bahaha ohhh that girl who plays Christmas Eve did such a good job!

[ellobodehielo]

quite good, though i miss the puppets..

[TheGingerHermione]

Wow xD I wish I'd gone to Canterbury that long ago just to see this! :P

[LoveIsDead1993]

Amazing! Me and my friends want to do this song for our schools talent show

[AmayaKarin]

This was awesome. Should've switched Rod and Nicky to keep the voices to fit and stuff. Christmas Eve was kinda eh. Kate was AMAZING, and the girl as Gary Coleman seemed extremely hyped. LMFAO.

[meninbla12]

um... why is gary coleman a girl?

[AGazellephant]

Gary Coleman was played by a woman in the original recording.

Go listen to the original recording of Schadenfreude.

[mardeninthegarden]

@meninbla12 Very few men can pull off the high-pitched voice.

[rennick91]

The part was written for one

[SubzeroRay]

@meninbla12 The original actor for Avenue Q was also a girl

[izshecrazy]

I love Kate in this one.

My problems are like hers.

[uilregit]

rod and nicky should of switched

but the rest is good

puppets would of been good

[pokerkid6]

4/5 woulda been 5/5 but you switched up rod and nickeys roles = /

[DHSucked]

I noticed that too. Doesn't ruin it, was still enjoyable, but whoever was behind this should have done their homework.

Huh, Avenue Q without puppets. They all delivered their parts well, but I think Kate shined the brightest in both voice and stage presence.

[leviandrews]

The video quality is rough, but at least the audio is clear.

Good performance; especially for a highschool production.

[totaltyler159]

you guys mixed Rod & Nicky's parts up.. but still, great performance

[TalaIsShining]

great work haha

[Spartia1205]

Wow, good job, Corey! I'm glad things are working out for you! ttyl :)

[InsertShankHere]

The guy playing princeton probably should've been rod.. lol

[TheElectricDreamer93]

lol my words exactly

[oompa37]

@InsertShankHere aren't they actually played by the same actor so the fact that he could have played rod is a good thing.

[EmoPunkRocker27]

@InsertShankHere I agree.

[SierraDawn93]

yeah totally.

[triphappenings]

Very good for a school play if it was a show without puppets, but im not sure if it really works without the puppets as it was a show written for puppets. Im not sure how you got the licence to do this either.

[iLoVe136]

Nicky looks gayer then Rod

[winner1215]

For all the people that are complaining about the roles should be diffrent,or that they miss the puppets (or even that people act gay) it's a play! in theater, you basiclly give up your manhood to do this, like when Alex put his arm around you Corey, it was acting, nothing real, if you watch the other plays and stuff you notice Nikki is always happy, but not gay :P so everyone, stop ya bitc*en!

[winner1215]

Corey, If I were you I would I have switched roles with Alex since he has a deeper voice, and you sound a little like Nikki, but this was really good, I'm in 8th grade now, when I get in Highschool, I will recommend this as a play :D Also you were really good in this, hope to see more plays from your school (make sure you post them here :D )

[UMadeMeDoThis]

i love that u used humans insted of pupets ^_^ (rod and prinstons costumes should be switched) just personal opinion but still great job

[NashiNashii]

Haha xD Princeton looks like a humanoid Rod.

[Zanmatt2g]

5:17 LMAO

also nickey sings rods lines and rod sings nickeys

[millesrodriguez]

Rod is not manly thats nicky

and Nicky is manly :(

[albinowhite1]

actually...this sucks.....HAHA you guys really ruined this show...FAIL!

[MoonyMidnight]

NICKY'S GAY!?

ROD'S STRAIT?

Oh well. This is still amazing.

[yunafire]

nickys straight and rod is gay lol

[MoonyMidnight]

Not in theis video. It's all... JUMBLED!

[OxenfreePoetry]

*gasp*

It's like they completely got rid of Nicky's character and just sliced Rod's gayness and straight-edged-ness into two characters. :/

Other than that, I liked it. :)

[bluedevilsrok]

I ruv the puppets! Where are they :X

[winner1215]

This is a school play (or somewhere) where they got people like Corey (the one who posted vid) to audition, This wouldn't be to well with puppets since they are untrained with some of this

[Carlangasbrown]

wow.. u sure guys have some talent gathered there XD, i was specting something bad but u did it pretty damn good, tood bad the video lags soo bad D:

[MooseyFate100]

I liked it. But I'm assuming you made Nicky the gay one instead of Rod which is the wrong way around. But everything else ruled.

[araluen82]

there's some good talent here!! :D

[HelloKittyPwns17]

the music is lagging behind soo bad at the beginning..

[madeleinedotse]

Cant you upload some more videos of this if you have the footage still? :]

[lalkax33]

its odd without puppets but i enjoyed that.^^ + ;]

[Tronzxz]

It's the other way around for me, lol. I watched this first then the puppets version. D:

[ObadiahtheSlim]

It's odd seeing it without the puppets.

[leela145]

well done I really enjoyed this version (especially the overacting!)

[aIfie01]

tempo is soo slow in the beginning

[messiah4201965]

most of the boys look gay for some reson

[NotZeMaidOfOrleansFV]

Because they are. That's why.

[WILL34712]

I have a question..

Why does Nicky and Princeton come across as gay? I hope they know that Rod is the only gay in this musical.

[XDFailmuffinXD]

LOL, the person playing Gary kinda looked like Gary xD

[oonparas955]

Very very good .)

[bezzybecks123]

helen looks a lot like gary colemen cool

[Elrond24]

That was amazing! Your stuff is really good Corey. I've been looking through a lot of your videos and there are a lot of top notch musicals!

[crazzymadmax]

amazing absolutely amazing

[ZER0C00Lmosthated]

That was a FANTASTIC performance. Seriously, I'm blown away by how good all these kids were! I'd pay to see them put on the whole show. They should be incredibly proud of themselves.

[tinngrinn]

This is a really good performance!

Although...I think that the guy playing Princeton is better suited for Rod...and the actors playing Rod and Nicky should switch parts. ( That is if the guy playing Princeton stays Princeton XD )

This Kate is really, really good! I think she could actually play Kate Monster on Broadway!

Princeton is a little TOO nerdy, though.

Love this performance!! Thanks for posting!!!! <3

[RyanEtere]

shes good .. couldent play broadwa thou, but yeah i totaly agre with you, rod was wrong. rod should have been princeton.. nicky should have been rod, and prinston should have been nicky.. lol.

[ForgottenFangZ]

Can you do the internet is for pr0n, everyone is a little bit racist, and its ok to be gay too?

[ILoveAlexKrycek92]

its, if you were gay, not its ok to be gay. just saying

[kazemikage0004]

Great job! It may just be my computer, but the video is being very glitchy, it used to be a whole lot smoother though. Who knows.

[calichickdiva]

this is cute!

[poulainfandubs]

great performance!!!

DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER number of this play?

[TDIdialgagirl]

LOVE IT!

[ChibiIgiari15]

They are GREAT!!!

[louie26291]

brian's so good!

[xxJessicaWoodxx]

well nicky needs to be more slob-ish but i think this is a really good thing <3 XD i love the guy who plays nicky i don't know why but its really good in a strange way XD

[pjgame08]

sorry but i know that the first guy is supposed to be nerdy and all but he is completely ahead of the music and is flat a lot of the time

[TDIdialgagirl]

the dude in the tie was HOT!!!

[TDIdialgagirl]

my 100 favorited clip!!!

[TDIdialgagirl]

this would be awsome if my high school performed it!!!

[silvernsilver11111]

Is it my computer or is it a bit lagged timing on this video? its slow a bit...

but its still good

[SpotxSpot]

Awesome job, really. Seeing performances like this is definitely one of the more worthwhile parts of high school.

Though the mini-echo at the very end sounds creepy...

[myshoesrockyoursocks]

great job :D

[dtw8]

Haha, I enjoy the nerdy take on Princeton.

It's original. :)

[koushiro27]

princeton seems way too nerdy. and yeah nicky and rod need to switch places. good performance though. i love their voices

[RyanEtere]

kayt is wearing what christmas eve should wear

[jackskellingtonsora]

Rod and Nicky need to be switched. Other than that, good job.

[Hysteria150]

this rocks!!! i wish we could do a production like this. love the show. epic. nicky's voice sounds more like Rod's should be.

[ucanbakemycake]

christmas eve could have been much better.

[xXxLawlietsGirlxXx]

OMG! This was in Ottawa! At Canterbury! My parents gave me the choice to go there but I decided not to. I would have loved to see this. It was AWESOME!!!!! Gary's entrance was GENIOUS!!! XD

[Coricopat42]

Very cute! I think Nicky may have been to gay for a straight character, but he's so adorable I'll forgive him. :)

Best parts: Christmas Eve was fantastic, and Gary Coleman's entrance was HILARIOUS

[funkieshortie]

shit ment to say rod my bad O_o

[vampchris101]

why is Gary a girl???

[AlebeskaGenius]

Gary's usually played by a girl because of the high voice the part requires. Though in the UK version he's played by a guy.

[RikkuDrPlol]

Garry entrance was AMAZING.

[yorkieyoushuke]

awesome!!

[jberke]

It was sort of like nicky rod and princeton swapped sexualities and characters... I'm confused. I enjoyed it though.

[chiwawa104]

this is very good! :D Although, Brian seemed to be slightly happy for being depressed in the being. o.o

[funkieshortie]

omg im guessing by your photo that you played nicky? well anyway OMFG! your singing was great loved gary! seeing this next week for the 3rd time!

[AlebeskaGenius]

He played Rod, I think. They switched the parts, though.

[PagenBabe]

The guy who plays Nicky looks so funny and cute :) lol the casting is great I love it! :D

[GirlCalledMike]

Haha this was really good!

[tabbsy]

Lovely scene, though the casting and acting looked a bit weird - Rod looked straight while Nickey looked gay, and so was Princeton..

Garry was amazing :-)

[AlebeskaGenius]

I think they switched the lines of Rod and Nicky because the guy playing Nicky or the guy playing Rod might have had problems hitting some of the notes. Just my guess.

[tabbsy]

Either that, or they reversed the casting on purpose... BTW, "Christmas eve" is great too =)

[ThexGhostxOfxYouxX]

wow that was amazin =]

[12rawr24]

OMG they were AWESOME i totally loved gary coleman's entrance and her singing lol

when i first saw brian and kate i thought they were hyper lmfao

[elphabaandrent]

the girl who plays christmas eve and gary coleman is really good!

[Cin884eva]

princeton look cute in this one... lol

[skybird360]

i like it better with puppet people :DDDD

[birdy665]

Come on...why are you hating on the people who play this? huh!

[thebigsaunders]

it's funnier with the puppets, there's nothing wrong with the people in this.

[Katakto07]

i love the look on princeton's face when he first comes in...priceless!

[TheEmilyFelton]

Christmas Eve could have been better...voices otehr than that were amazing!

[kamea36912]

Wow! You were really great! Even though I think you should be Nickey and Alex should be Rod. Anyways, great voices and casting! I wish my school could do it too! :]

[kamea36912]

And at first, Heather looked and sounded a bit like Natalie (The OLC Gary) for me :D

[kuhpoww]

we're doing this song, amongst others, in a concert at school

i think you guys did a great job :)

[JamesOhGoodie]

uh okay the kimono on Christmas Eve was WAY too much.

[AlebeskaGenius]

Really? They had Asian clothes on Christmas Eve too in other productions. And the actor is white, so it would make her being Asian more obvious.

[AlebeskaGenius]

This freaking owns!!!! I would love to see more of this production :) I think it's great without puppets!

[xIMxxAxxFAKExxxx]

I agree, Its more fun without puppets

[AlebeskaGenius]

Yeah, it's like a regular musical about a neighborhood with some messed up people, like South Park XD

[mnenemth]

I wish my school did this. we did high school musical -_-

[thel33tmaster4]

yeah mine too

[silvernsilver11111]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!

[ejohanson]

i enjoyed it, but the acting is way to over the top. they look mental...

[herrera278]

Good job

[Edandush]

Very good! and the guy in the pink shirt is REALLY cute!

[bnbn123]

did you have to obtain copywrite permission for that?

=] awesome job

[RikkuDrPlol]

How "Christmas Eve" said suckasuckasuckasuckasuckasucka­suckasuckasuckasucka was funny XDD

[reno5135]

that was good really good and really well preformed

[willdog8975]

it would be better if you go some puppets

[ChristineRoxUrSox]

Ahah that was amazing :)

[miii]

so cool

congrats!!

[AngelofDeath2178]

this was a beautiful performance at some parts i couldnt tell if i was watching a cover or the real thing lol

[Fallen4mybabyboi]

holy....shit....wow....my jaw totally dropped. For a high school this was absolutely brilliant. Yes a few things were off but who gives a fuck with such an astounding performance? Wow...just...wow...

[rogerfan1327]

I loved gary's entrance!

[woody6663]

its good but the girl who plays kate is fit but she forgot the word shit before it sucks to be me

[WVEvids]

The word before that is fuck,not shit.Listen to the song or look at lyrics.

[KeyToThePlanet]

oh just go to hell.

[vampiresXwillXnever]

lmao "omg look its garry colemen!" xDDD major awesomeness!

[KeyToThePlanet]

the guy looks like obama xD

[proides]

Indeed he does!

[sgste]

Its just a shame about the quality. Other than that, it was absolutely brilliant! Keep up the good work!

[doghot88]

Can I be Alex Josselyn's new best friend? :3

[HAMIproductions]

everyone was AWESOME!!! besides rod and niki, u guys dont sound much like. rod is good singer, but can play rod very well.

[soralover3]

The singing's really well done! However, I'm disappointed with a few things.

1. Christmas Eve waves her fan too much. It made her look like she was panicing.

2. Princeton isn't a nerd.

3. Nicky comes off as gay; Rod is supposed to be the one to come off as gay.

4. Kate is way too dramatic. Why is she wearing a robe and jumping into Brian's arms? It makes no sence...

I do think it was cool that you guys did this though. I'd think that schools would think this is too adult for school.

[TurCha]

I think you guys did an amazing performance, i love the girl who played Kate Monster very great. Keep up the great job guys.

[Digilady99]

You and your fellow co-stars did fantastic with this musical number, payette! I actually see u guys on Broadway doing this show for years to come!!! Hope u will someday!!! I look forward to being in this show on Broadway when I'm older!!! :)

[ThatArmo]

I keep returning to this video and the girl who plays kate monster continues to impress me.
