Along with the indecisive quester Princeton (What Do You Do With A B.A. In English?), who gets fired from his temp gig for being "too depressive on the phone", the lustrous-voiced Martin Galba, whose comic instincts are sharp, is Rod, a Republican investment banker who can't pry himself out of the closet. His over-emphatic claim to have a girlfriend in Canada ('her name is Alberta/ she lives in Vancouver') is very funny.
Nicole English dexterously plays both Kate Monster, the romantically challenged kindergarten teaching assistant, and the skanky chanteuse Lucy T. Slut. The evening's show-stopper is the torchy romantic advice number delivered by the highly amusing Alix Ryan-Wong as Christmas Eve, a prickly therapist with nary a client. "The more you love someone the more you want to kill him".
Lisa Brownie is riotous as the brightly cynical building super Gary Coleman (named for a now-obscure child star)...

Both Galba and English have superior voices and English, in particular, gives considerable life to her puppet character. Kate is always animated even when she's not featured, and her appealing felt face seems to mirror all sorts of emotions from longing to lust.

This is a very funny show given a slick production (direction/choreography Linette Smith) and features a seasoned semi-professional cast that seem born to be puppeteers.

Went to opening night -- what a fantastic job!! I saw Avenue Q few years ago in New York on Broadway and was totally taken aback by how similar (yet unique!) tonight's performance was. A HUGE congrats to all the people on the front lines and behind the scenes who pulled this stunner off. Thanks for a great Friday evening! :^)

"The music is the most alluring feature of Titanic. It's big. Old-fashioned big. Ditto the lush orchestration. The human canvas is panoramically big, too. The curiosity of the piece is that it's a group portrait of a rigidly class-conscious age, with the Edwardian stratification starting to crack. And it's also a bunch of cameo portraits, though the musical book itself is a little flat in this. The old order is giving way, not to a democracy of mankind or anything like that, but to a new (American) aristocracy based pretty much exclusively on money. TOWTTB, a semi-professional company in which the talents are, naturally, variable, gives us an experience that's rare these days: They populate the stage, massively. There?s a cast of 43, a 40-piece orchestra, a 125-member choir (the Edmonton Metropolitan Chorus). The size itself is thrilling. Kudos to Mah and musical director Rob Curtis."

"There are remarkable talents here who have kept their day jobs, as TOWTTB's co-artistic director Martin Galba mentioned after the show. He's an example himself. Since the company's debut, with Sondheim's Passion six years ago, his voice has taken on lustrous dimensions, and so has his stage presence, as we saw in his portrait of the stoker Barrett, and a lovely scene in which he proposes to his girl back home via the newly invented Marconi technology (with Stuart McDougall a charmer as the eager beaver radioman) . So has his fellow a.d. Nicole English, who plays an Irish lass dreaming of a new life in America. The scene in which Kate and a cluster of her fellow third-class passengers dreams their dreams in song is a little gem."
