"Avenue Q": "It Sucks To Be Me" Quiz

Answer: Useless

Princeton, a recent college graduate, sings:
"What do you do, with a B. A. in English?
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree."

In the original Broadway cast, Princeton was voiced by John Tartaglia. John Tartaglia also did the voice of Rod, the closeted homosexual, which is why Rod and Princeton never sing together.

Answer: Catering

Kate Monster is a kindergarten teacher's assistant and Brian is an unemployed comedian. Their lines are:
"Morning Brian."
"Hi Kate Monster."
"How's life?"
"Disappointing."
"What's the matter?"
"The catering company laid me off."

Brian was played by Jordan Gelber in the original Broadway cast, and was one of the few people who's character was not a puppet.

Answer: False

Kate and Brian's lines are:
"When I was little, I thought I would be."
"What?"
"A big comedian on late night T. V."
"Oh."
"But now I'm 32, and as you can see, I'm not." Also, he sings:
"It sucks to be broke, and unemployed, and turning 33, it sucks to be me!" In the London version of "Avenue Q", Brian was played by Siôn Lloyd.

Answer: Music and Art

Kate and Brian sing:
"I'm kinda pretty, and pretty damn smart."
"You are!"
"Thanks! I like romantic things like music and art."

Kate Monster was voiced by Stephanie D'Abruzzo. Stephanie D'Abruzzo also voices Lucy the Slut, so in the scene between "Special" and "You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want", Stephanie is voicing a conversation with herself. Luckily, Jennifer Barnhart supplies extra hands, so Lucy is able to walk out of the scene.

Answer: Mother

Of Rod and Nicky's squabble, most lines are indistinguishable. A line that is heard of Nicky's is:
"I'll come home when I want to, you're not my mother, Rod!"

Nicky is voiced by Rick Lyon, who also does the voice of Trekkie Monster and a Bad Idea Bear.

Answer: ours

The lines are:
"Hey Rod, Nicky, can you settle something for us, if you have a sec?"
"Uh, certainly,"
"Who's life sucks more, Brian's or mine?"
"Ours!"

Rod and Nicky are best friends living together on Avenue Q. They are a parody of "Sesame Streets" Bert and Ernie. Rod is the uptight Bert while Nicky is the goofy Ernie.

Answer: Ever since the day they met

Rod and Nicky sing:
"We live together."
"We're close as people can get."
"We've been the best of buddies."
"Ever since the day we met."

In "Avenue Q", everyone suspects Rod of being a closeted homosexual. Throughout the play, Nicky hints at it and tries to get him to come out of the closet. Rod does eventually, to no ones surprise, and Nicky finds him a boyfriend, Ricky. Ricky looks just like Nicky, except more muscular.
