Avenue Q Final Run - 5 Reasons Why You Should Not Miss the Opening Night of Avenue Q’s Final Run!

1. Get to see the first time performance of Carla Guevarra-Laforteza as the new Kate Monster and Lucy T. Slut.
There is a long insider story on why Rachel Alejandro, 2007 Theater Best Actress-Musical Winner for Avenue Q, was replaced by Carla. Carla was a Miss Saigon alumni and honorable mention in the 2007 Theater awards for her performance in “Song & Dance”. Rachel is the soul of the past two sold-out performances of Avenue Q. Can Carla take Kate Monster and Lucy T. Slut to a whole different level? (If you know the insider story, please post on the comments section.)

 

  “ Rachel Alejandro (“Avenue Q”). The best word for her turn here is exquisite, if not awesome.
  Among the many pleasures of this musical, Alejandro’s aching rendition of
  “There’s a Fine, Fine Line” will be remembered for some time. ”
  - by Gibbs Cadiz

 

 

2. If you missed the first two runs of Avenue Q, this is your last chance to see it in Manila.
Avenue Q is performing in Singapore in late October at the Esplanade Theater for a three-week run produced by The Singapore Repertory Theater. I’m glad that they decided to have a final run in Manila. Don’t miss this for the third time – it is really good!

“ This definitely is the MUST-WATCH theater event of 2007.
IT WILL REALLY SUCK TO BE YOU if you miss it!!! ”
- Spanky Enriquez, Manila Boy

3. Be the first one to blog about it!
One of my SEO secrets for my OAP blog is to be the first one to write a review or post about an event. For the first run of Avenue Q, I probably published the first review ever: Avenue Q High on Sept 7, 2007. I got a lot of hits for this and that is why I’m watching on the opening night of Avenue Q: The Final Run. Also, you will be the star if you can participate in the chit chat and buzz about Avenue Q's opening night.

“I’m still on an Avenue Q high after watching the final dress rehearsals of Avenue Q last night at RCBC.
This is the best musical broadway show that I’ve ever seen since Rent in Manila.”

“Look out for the wonderful performances that make you pause and think “am I reacting to the puppet or the actor?”,

the darn good singing from most of the cast (a few weak links won’t spoil the broth except for the overly picky),
moments of feeling transported back to childhood/young adulthood/actually most of life’s roller coaster

  moments throughout the show, and laughter that won’t stop till that last encore.”
  - Mila Tan, Watergirl.
