[Ksmicer]

really gotta work on the teamwork and harmonizing on singing too. wow....

[Ksmicer]

improvising is good. changing the script every 10 seconds isnt... singing and acting mediocre... timing is off, tune too.... really... not impressive at all

effort was there,

2/5

@broadwaybaby0225 I have seen some middle school kids do this better.

[MuramasaSengo]

They didn't face the audience enough times. Not only that, there wasn't anywhere near enough emotion in this. Less than average at best.

To be honest, I have seen middle school kids do this better.

The chorus line - hmmm. not a good idea unless all kicks are parallel, as it looks messy. ending should have been stronger on the beat. But great attempt. kate has a lovely voice :)

[broadwaybaby0225]

And she rushed the 'sucka-sucka-sucka's'. Princeton needs to face the audience when he is speaking, so he includes the audience in the scene. And Gary Coleman should be black. The cheesy step-claps is a bit over the top. Not suited to Avenue Q. especially if they all think 'it sucks to be him', and they've just come out of a cheery step-clap. The group singing was weak, just more volume would do. (cont)

[broadwaybaby0225]

In the dialogue between Kate and Rod + nicky's verse, Brian is standing directly in front of Kate, a big no-no, as she's blocked from the audience. Rod and Nicky's blocking was a bit strange in some parts, and they rushed the lyrics a little, but they were pretty darn good. the harmonies on 'it sucks to be meeee' were quite...interesting. Then standing in a straight line, blocks everyone. I forgot the asians name, but she was pretty good. nice voice. (cont)

Okay. So, some constructive criticism:

Princeton's choreographed gesutres at the beginning- No. lol. it makes the audience feel the cheesyness. and he isn't quite in pitch for some parts. but the enthusiam is there :)

Brian doesn't know the words properly..oops. He needs to engage the audience more, instead of just Kate. Kates pacing was distracting from his performance. Kates pacing as she was singing was annoying, and she needs to sing to the audience, not just Brian. (cont)
