15 Versions of Avenue Q’s Act One Finale, “There’s A Fine, …

The Tony Award-winning Best Musical Avenue Q celebrates 15 years of a sidesplitting, LOL, & often times jaw-dropping musical comedy. In its lifespan, the show began at the Vineyard Theatre off-Broadway, transferred to Broadway, won the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Book, Best Score, & Best Musical, and then moved back off-Broadway to New World Stages, where it continues to run.


In honor of Avenue Q’s big musical milestone, here are 15 performances of Kate Monster’s big act one finale, “There’s a Fine, Fine Line”.

Stephanie D’Abruzzo


First up is the original Tony-nominated leading lady, and of course the only video of her is a boot, but it’s the OG Kate so you make allowances. This is the Kate Monster you sang along with in the car and the shower then mimicked in your senior showcase.

Dana Steingold


From the first Kate to off-Broadway's current Kate Monster, Dana Steingold. She OWNS that ending.

Sarah Stiles


…And puppet mic drop.

Amanda Rodriguez


This sits so beautifully and effortlessly in her voice! Also, loved her performance. I was seriously shook by the end. Bravo, Amanda!

Mary Faber


The American Idiot and How to Succeed favorite brings her fierce vocals to the tune, and the performance is seriously heartbreaking. Four stars!

Julie Atherton


She is acting it, folks. Get ready. Also, she decidedly takes a backseat to the puppet, which I like.

Johnny Moniz


Yay, finally a boy Kate! Johnny sounds so beautiful on this song. He is serving a full-out performance here, too.

Veronica J. Kuehn


No way not to include longtime, top-shelf Kate, Veronica J. Kuehn. A queen among Kates.

Anika Larsen


The Beautiful Tony nominee played Kate in 2009 and hearing this song in her big voice = goosebumps.

Sarah Dewhirst


WTF?! This is like the Laurie Metcalf of puppets—she’s brilliant. I was emo watching this one. What a testament to Sarah and her performance.

Mary Malaney


Mary is so captivating, I’m not even watching Kate. She slays it.

Kyra Belle Johnson


Ms. Kyra Belle is going for tears today. She wants to break your heart but she’s also a strong ass Kate who is like “to the left, to the left”.

Tim Wagner


Tim is a great singer and performer. He is in the moment and then he just goes for broke at the end. (Also, legit me after every college break up.)

Alex Beck


I love how Alex takes his time with it (he wants you to get every. single. lyric.)!

Laura Phillips


Final video is next level. Listen to Laura just soar in that ending. I applauded at my desk after 2:14.

See 'Avenue Q' at off-Broadway’s New World Stages.
