Not sure when it'll be announced, but my friend's friend will be the Christmas Eve/Mrs. T and MAYBE the Kate/Lucy Understudy.
Here she is singing "My Brother Lived In San Francisco"

Posted: 8/27/09 at 4:42pmThey're combining Eve & Mrs. T?

No, sorry, I guess that was confusing. For sure she is understudying Christmas Eve and Mrs. T and she is possibly understudying Kate/Lucy. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh okay. So she will be doing MINGLIE CHEN'S track from Broadway.
Yes the tour is non-Eq, but will be using the sets & puppets from the first national tour.

Posted: 8/27/09 at 5:21pmHe has a decent voice. He's from my hometown, so I've seen him perform a few times.

Posted: 8/27/09 at 8:39pmA guy who was on the "Spelling Bee" tour with me is playing Gary Coleman (they made the character a male role for this tour). His name is Nigel Clark (he was the Mitch/Chip swing in "Spelling Bee")- he's great!

I believe so. Julianna Lee (the Christmas Eve understudy) graduated high school in 2008 and just finished up her first year at college.

I wonder why they did that?

Posted: 8/27/09 at 9:16pmAre you saying that I'M Brent? No I'm not. Someone congratulated (On the Ave. Q tour Facebook) a "Brent" on getting the lead in the show. I then googled "Brent Avenue Q" & I got the article.

"I believe so. Julianna Lee (the Christmas Eve understudy) graduated high school in 2008 and just finished up her first year at college."
Isn't Christmas Eve supposed to be, um, not 19/20? I mean, she has "two masters degrees in social work" and is married to a 32 year old... I hope Julianna can play 'old' convincingly.

Posted: 8/27/09 at 9:29pmUnderstudies aren't always age(or look) appropriate for the role they are understudying.
#21re: One Member of Ave. Q 2009 Tour Cast Announced
Posted: 8/27/09 at 9:32pmI haven't seen her in anything, so, I'm not sure if she can play older convincingly. I will be honest that I was a little surprised that she is understudying Christmas Eve because of her age and plus, I think she'd be just right for Kate.

Non-Equity tours aren't always age appropriate.
