Fun to play September 15, 2005
As a casual piano player and a Broadway fanatic, I was so jazzed to play some of the songs from Avenue Q. The book contains everything you find on the CD and includes a few production photos.
Of course the little details are fun, using terms like "manilowesque" "Huey-Lewis shuffle" "prissy sonata" and "funky a** groove" to describe some of the songs. Fun fun fun

After reading the reviews availible here and other places online I was concerned when I ordered my score of Avenue Q. To read some of the comments of other customers one might thinks this musical score to actually be quite challenging to play.
This is a very nice arrangement for a simply wonder musical!! There are a FEW places where the timing might take a second to figure out but words like challenging, difficult, and hard certainly do not discribe any piece of this arrangment.
I was able to sit down and play through the musical this afternoon when it arrived with out any trouble. A Mixed Tape has to be the most challenging and even that once you see exactly what is going on is easily understood. That said, I am a studio musician here in Los Angeles so easy to me might not be easy to every one, however this score is VERY PLAYABLE.
I encourage anyone who has enjoyed the musical Avenue Q to also purchase the score for their piano.
Good! But.... March 15, 2005

I think this songbok is great. I'm practicing some of the songs, and I'm doing very well, and I haven't had lessons in a very long time (about 9 years) and I can still hold my own.
.....but I could swear some of the keys have been changed. "There's a fine, fine line" just seems to be in a different key then on the CD, but I have yet to play the piano while the CD is going to be sure.
One of the better transcriptions out there! November 19, 2004

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.
