[Nani101]

Nicky seems a little shy today :P

[FireIceQueen01]

I accept you, Rod!! <3

[Theboxofme]

lol the odd couple at 3:00

[JONASPuppy887]

John tartaglia is just awesomely funny. And makes a pretty good puppeteer. Reminds me a little of Jeff Dunham haha

[ztslovebird]

@JONASPuppy887 Jeff Dunham isn't a puppeteer; he's a ventriloquist. Big difference. But Johnny is a very much awesome Muppeteer, lol!

[JONASPuppy887]

@ztslovebird Yeah I know. But I mean comedy wise. Jeff is an aaaaaawesome ventriloquist, and John is an awesome Muppeteer!

[ImWeirdAndILikeIt]

[bezzybecks123]

if the man controling nicky's arm's how does he keep the arm he's not conrtoling up?

[ztslovebird]

The other arm is sewn/attached to Nicky's jacket so it doesn't swing around.

[Ashley6709]

[Dragonfairy1219]

OMG! rofl

The Rod laugh at 1:41.

[ztslovebird]

Ah, classic Rod!

[Gage131]

Isnt it HILARIOUS to see John Tartaglia break down like that!?!?!?!?!?! OMG! lol.

[ztslovebird]

lol, Johnny and Rod are an INCREDIBLE pair! Did you hear they were reuinited for one night?

[Gage131]

no i didnt... whjere did you hear this?

[ztslovebird]

Broadway World. Johnny and Rod were reuinited for Broadway Backwards 4! They have about a dozen or so pictures together. I've been spending the past week looking for clips, but so far no luck.

[FranBMan]

Wow, really? Was this recent?

[ztslovebird]

Yeah, last month! Look on Broadway World punctuation mark Com for the pictures from Broadway Backwards 4; there's about six different links with maybe 40 or 50 pictures each!

[FranBMan]

Aw, that looks amazing! The one time Johnny and Rod reunite and I miss it.

[ztslovebird]

Me, too! I've been looking for clips FOREVER!!!

[punkducky619]

"make me pretty" lmfao i love them i wanna see them =[

[ztslovebird]

Me, too! Three days until I get to see one of them, though! I'm SO hyped!

[Roku3333]

I met Stephanie!!!!!!

She's biffles with my drama teacher my school.

She came to my school and did a play with him.

IT WAS SO COOL!

[ztslovebird]

lol, biffles? You are SO lucky!

[Roku3333]

yea, apparently they were friends since 2nd grade or something... Its funny, I live in such small town :D

[ztslovebird]

It's always the small towns. Small towns have all the luck!

[Roku3333]

lol

Of course.

^.^

[Ilma84]

How cute!

[sirdangolot5]

are you busy after the show?

[BlackNeon]

"I'm married to a woman."

"Oh, GOD! They all are!"

[ztslovebird]

Not all of them, lol!

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

poor Rod.. I wish i was a boy then I'd go out with him X3

[ztslovebird]

Me, too!

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

Yey! we're Rod fans x3 I think everyone loves Rod ^__^

[ztslovebird]

Rod is the most lovable character EVER!

[kamea36912]

Yeah! Sometimes I feel sorry he is gay :/ A MONTH AND 4 DAYS UNTILL I SEE THEM! :D <3

[ztslovebird]

I feel sorry when he's in the Closet, but when he comes to terms with himself he's fine!

lol, say Hi to Rod for me!

[kamea36912]

Lol! I agree! Do you want me to talk with another charecter / puppeteer? :] I just love the London cast! <3

[ztslovebird]

Oh, no thanks! The London cast was AMAZING! Jon Robyns was a REALLY good Rod/Princeton!

[kamea36912]

Oh yes! He really was BRILLIANT! So does John Tartaglia (Even though I loooove Jon Robyns Rod and Princeton a bit more!) And Simon Lipkin was AMAZING and brilliant too! <3

[ztslovebird]

I don't know why, but guys named John/Jon tend to be better Princeton/Rods than other guys. And Jon R. WAS really good! His version of Purpose is SO beautiful!

OMG, Simon was SO HILARIOUS as Nicky! Time is my favorite extra song from Avenue Q London!

[kamea36912]

Telling me? I agree with every word on your comment! :D

[ElphieGalindafied]

"You know, if you were gay, that would be just fine, I would be abosolutely fine with that"

"Gosh, you should write a song!"

lol!

[pineapplepie52]

It's so funny (and genius) how John doesn't even like change expressions when he's being Rod. It's like, he forces you to put all eyes on the puppet, it's just brilliant!

[ztslovebird]

Well, his face changes a little when the moment requires it. Like when Rod came Out. But you are right. He doesn't draw any attention away from the puppet itself!

[almoissu]

Is Kate referring to John at 1:07? :P

[ztslovebird]

Yes, because Johnny played both Rod and Princeton.

[almoissu]

Heh, that's pretty funny. I like how the puppets are aware they're being controlled but still act as seperate people.

[ztslovebird]

That's the magic of puppets. In the hands of a master, you completely forget that the puppet isn't real. The puppet becomes a real person, whether the puppeteer is in plain site or hiding out of view of the camera!

[hannah123765]

i love rod!!!!!! XD

[ztslovebird]

You show me one person who doesn't love Rod, and I'll show you someone who hasn't heard of Avenue Q.

[hannah123765]

lol very true

[FranBMan]

Someone actually dared to suggest he wasn't one of the best characters. I wanted to brain them.

[ztslovebird]

*gasp* they should be killed!

[SharpCookies]

I love Avenue Q... and I absolutely love John Tangelia. He is so talented and sweet and absolutely epic. But of course, everyone in Avenue Q was and is epic. : D

[ztslovebird]

Truer words were never spoken! I still think it's kind of sweet that Rick Lyon met his wife (Tanya) in the Vegas production of Avenue Q; she was playing Gary Coleman!

[LaneCGMS]

Lmao! Poor Rod. :D

[ztslovebird]

This is the true definition of Schadenfreude; loving someone because they are constantly in pain.

[LaneCGMS]

umm, tad bit random i think...or i might be crazy. but ello! :)

[ztslovebird]

lol, hi!

[EGLchan]

omg, poor rod :(

(tho i did lol at it XD)

[ztslovebird]

He is SO hilariously cute in this one!

[JackandSally4ever]

At 1:08, Kate points to John Tartaglia. That's just hilarious.

[billiesbiggesfan]

And there, my friends, we have it, concreat evadence!! LOL

[piratebbydeppluv91]

is there more to this interview? lol. i wanna seeeee it. haha.

[ztslovebird]

Sorry, no.

[LibbySmarties]

At 4:37 Jonny's trying not to laugh!

:D I love Rod! So Ceuuuute!

[ztslovebird]

Johnny and Rod are SO awesome together!!

[Ichbinblod]

That is wonderful! lol I wish I had seen it when it was actually on TV!

[ztslovebird]

Same here!

[deadfudge]

ROD IS LOVE! haha. but instead of hugging kate monster, he should've hug nicky :D

WOOT

[Cerberuswaltz]

Ha ha, I'm married... to a woman!

[Garraguey]

OMG poor Rod! He is so cute, Nicky is cute too, oh jheez, I want that they becomes a boyfriends...

I want the continuation of this video, don't you have?

I'm so sorry for my bad english...:P

[ztslovebird]

I'm sorry, but I don't HAVE the rest of this video! I could only find this.

[Garraguey]

bueeeeeeeem so sad... well, anyway thanks

[xwehrareux]

"Make me feel pretty!"

Aww, Poor Rod. I just love him. XD

[ztslovebird]

Rod is SO cute!

[FranBMan]

I heart Rick Lyon's comb over.

[stillthunderiiing]

Me too. : D

[ztslovebird]

It's cute!

[AvenueQfanBR]

This is one of the most amazing videos of Avenue Q ever. Too bad that nobody can find the rest of it.

But I'm pretty satisfied with this part. It has two of my favorite puppets and three of my favorite puppeteers. I don't think I can ask for more. =D

[FranBMan]

It's wierd to watch them be interviewed before they won the Tony. They had like no idea how big this thing was gonna get.

[ztslovebird]

Yeah. I think they all assumed that Wicked would wipe the floor with them at the Tonys. I bet the Wicked people thought so, too. Guess they were wrong!!

[firechica]

lmao, I <3 Rod and Nicky, they're AMAZING!

[ztslovebird]

They're the BEST!!!

[CrystalAvatar]

He admited on tv. lol. Rod admitted he was gay on tv!!!!!

[ztslovebird]

lol, he is SO CUTE when he's having a meltdown!

[rachelsingsloud]

"i know its to keep him from looking like the bad guy, but you know he dumps me. lets not sugar coat it."

the reference to john just came to my attention.

haahah wow that took a while. steph is hilarrrrious btw (:

[ztslovebird]

lol!

[rachelsingsloud]

hhahaha (:

[FranBMan]

I love the way Rod's like "I had to take care of him." Okay, sure Roddy. You HAD to...

[piratebbydeppluv91]

Okay. John looks so hot in this interview. =( aaaaaaaaaaaah!

[ztslovebird]

He's one of the VERY few men who can wear jewelry and STILL look sexy!

[ablurida]

tome he always looks hot.

[ablurida]

to me he always looks hot!!

[ztslovebird]

lol, you got THAT right!

[Febrezy84]

Is the American cast any good? I went to the cast in the UK but I want to see Avenue Q again but I don't know if they can sing well....they seem funny while acting!!!

[ztslovebird]

I can't vouch for the current American cast, but the Original American cast was INCREDIBLE! BTW, when did you see Avenue Q in the UK? Were Simon Lipkin, Jon Robyn, and/or Jennifer (sorry - forgot her last name) still part of the cast?

[Febrezy84]

Okay, thanks!!! Umm...*thinks* Yeah, I think, I don't remember much about the cast except how brilliant they were. (I went to one of the orginal London showings.)

[ztslovebird]

Ah. Lucky!  You got to see the OLC! They were SO amazing, especially because none of them had a puppetry background!

[Febrezy84]

Yeah, it was really amazing! So, was this video of the orginal American cast or the current one?
