Avenue Q: The Libretto (Applause Libretto Library)

Most applause library books I’ve bought have come with wrinkled mid sections (wherever there is a photo printed). This was the first to have no wrinkles :)

Exactly the same key as the Broadway recording. Used a song for an audition and GOT THE PART!

If you loved the show and you play the piano, this is a must-buy.These 'reductions' or arrangements, for the most part, faithfully recreate the very colorful songs of the musical.Songs like "It Sucks To Be Me" and "For Now", along with the theme song, are very similar, and bookend the show playfully."If You Were Gay" is great fun to play; the arrangement lies nicely under your fingers...Many, many of the other songs are also a joy to play, sound good, and are of intermediate level, I'd say.Bottom line: if you're thinking about getting this, do so. It's a no-brainer.

I am most pleased with this book because of the very detailed arrangement. Although the melody is written in the Treble Clef, the music survives arrangement very well. The chords are accurate, and in my case, difficult to play, but all the songs are included. But the most surprising thing about this book is that it includes all the vocal harmonies as well. Currently I am learning how to better play the music (it is NOT for beginners) and I'm sure I will appreciate the score when I can play it more effectively. This was a very good buy.

Delightful spoof of lessons learned as a child on Sesame Street and from. supportive adults.. you can be anything..you are special. Wonderful comment on social issues. Recommend this book to those exiting college and those young at heart . See the wonderful production!

Great! Thanks

I had tickets for the play. My friend has a great difficulty hearing. I asked if I should buy the book before we went. This was a big help to both of us. We both read it and could discuss it before and after the show. My friend would not have gotten very much out of the performance without this help.

Perfect book for the show my other half was in.

I bought this as a present for my sister. We both love the show. She's been having fun working her way through the music. She said it's not a particularly difficult score, but the harmonies are fun!

Good book with all the songs from this wonderful musical. My daughter loved it.

Perfect!

a very good musical

Brilliant show and funny score. I can't help but play through the whole book when I pick it up. Great for a sing song around the piano (though make sure Grannies not in hearing-aid-distance, it can get a bit "blue")
