For Now- Avenue Q at Smithtown PAC

[@MrPie]

Maybe it's just me--and I'm probably off by a long shot here--but I truly believe this number separated Avenue Q from Wicked, when it came to the Tonys. See, I performed in Les Mis and its finale, and there is such a subtle quality to this piece that blows that finale out of the water. I have lived by this song for close to ten years, and it's this number that truly reveals Avenue Q's heart; look beyond the show's crude humor and over-the-top nonsense, and this song is a gem.

7 years late to this comment but I agree. There are a handful of adult puppet parodies out there like The Happytime Murders that suck because the whole joke is that the puppet says a bad word. Avenue Q is so good, and beat out Wicked, because it keeps all the lovable things about Sesame Street. Its not funny because the puppets swear, its funny because the puppets are relatable. Its not just a crude parody because it has heart. The joke songs are funny of course, but songs like Purpose, I Wish I Could Go Back To College, and For Now are all deeply relatable while still having some silly lyrics. The show makes us care for the characters, and that adds an element of comedy you dont usually see in puppet parodies

@@starats1911 I totally agree with the statement. I’m glad that this beat wicked and I’m glad the show exists!

Avenue Q really does have some great messages for life.

Oh my god, I needed this!! It helps to hear this and know it is only for now and everything will work out eventually! God, but 'for now' I'm in tears

[@jessk.1883]

I feel like this song, this show just generalizes what life is really like

THEY SAID THIS SHOW THATS SO SAD

[@davidthaler7018]

Those are the lyrics. Casts have opted to change them over the years.

The video is great, but my favorite part is seeing the swift handoffs of the puppets toward the end

Original Trekkie/Nicky directed this!

keithweiss24691995 Not original but one of the best :)

[@louisearmstrong2555]

Ooh I always thought Rick Lyon was the original! Who was before him? You are right though, he was one of, if not the best in my opinion :)

[@gmanwalker7492]

Louise Armstrong he was!

[@tomelifeisjustonebig]

Love it!!!!!

The last for now is supposed to be either: George Bush, Fox News, or Trump. It's supposed to be anti-Republican. "This Show?" what a copout.

[@tysargent9647]

But it's true. Sooner or later, Avenue Q needs to end.

The script says “this show,” but most productions choose to change it to something topical

[@nichbungas1058]

Its just me that love when trekkie says makes a litle wave on his body?

[@hetfloortje5293]

Trekkie monster is just hanger around ;)

[@quackman]

He watched too much porn throughout the show, so now he's just floppin' around for a while.

Is it just me or does Princeton’s puppeteer look like Princeton?
