Avenue Q is mostly comedic, but it could wrench your heart. * Surprisingly, the end of the first act of Avenue Q can do this. With "Fantasies Come True", the Distant Duet based around Rod hearing his crush Nicky's affections for him ends with him realising it was All Just a Dream. The few seconds before Rod's heartbroken line "Good night, Nicky" is one of the only parts of the musical where the audience will be totally silent. The sadness lifts for Rod's Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? song, then dives straight back in for the last song of the act, "There's a Fine Fine Line", a ballad to Kate's realisation that she'd be better off if she broke up with Princeton. * There's A Fine, Fine Line. Yes, right in the middle of a hilarious comedy is one of the saddest songs ever.
