At This Performance... AVENUE Q's Puppet Cast Takes Over Broadway's Starring Roles

Looks like there may be a bug floating around Broadway tonight. A lot of stars seem to be calling in sick and letting their understudies go on: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Benjamin Walker, Jessie Mueller, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Alex Brightman...
Or maybe it's just an April Fools' Day stunt pulled off by the puppet cast of AVENUE Q. While everyone naturally wishes good health to all of Broadway's stars, you have to admit that Rod, Trekkie Monster, Nicky and The Bad Idea Bears would be great choices for these roles.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson plays 40+ characters in Fully Committed on Broadway? No problem. Rod is good at pretending to be someone he is not.
