An Interview with Rod from Avenue Q

This totally cracked me up. Here's an excerpt from maninchair.com, which has a link to the full interview. Hope you all enjoy!

Cute, but I'll never understand how Rod got to be such a popular character.
Trevor

Because he's the best role in the show, duh.

Avenue Q doesn't have a "best" role; all the characters have their strengths. Even if there was a "best" role, it sure as hell wouldn't be Rod.

Ok uhhh don't get all anal about what I said. It was a halfjoke. He's my favorite is all I was trying to say. Sorry, God.

Of all the characters in Q, Rod has the most complex personality, something that many others really don't have. He has interests outside of his one main "story point," something that no other character does. Also, with his avid love of musical theater and that voice that wasn't a gay stereotype before he invented it, but probably will now, he's a very New York Theater Scene type of character. He practically is the Man in the Chair, only as a more visible figure to popular culture, Rod has taken off more than the Man in the Chair ever will.
