I was listening to mp3s of the Avenue Q soundtrack - and didn't realize they were in random order.

I'd been applauding the musical for its brashness in opening with the number "You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (when you're Making Love)."

But I was surprised when it ended with Kate Monster dumping Princeton. She sings "There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie...I don't have the time to waste on you anymore...."

In a final nod to reality, this version of the musical closes with the gang consoling a heartbroken Princeton that at least "There Is A Life Outside Your Apartment." The number ends when he picks up "Lucy the Slut" and takes her back to his apartment.

Fun-fact: one of the performers in the show also actually worked with the Muppets
