Kiki Moritsugu first graced the MPT stage in our 2015 production of Avenue Q. This summer she joins us for her 10th MPT show as she reprises her role as resident therapist/fiancé Christmas Eve!

Which Avenue Q character do you most relate to and why?

Christmas Eve, obviously. She is kind of the mother figure and I am very maternal. She's also very funny and kind.

Avenue Q takes place in New York City. Have you ever been?

I lived in New York City for 15 years. It is one of my favorite cities and in my heart I am - and always will be - a New Yorker!

What is your favorite line/song/moment from the show?

My favorite moment in the show is the scene between Rod and Christmas Eve where she tells him he is special, he is safe.

What are the top 3 songs you’d put on a mix tape?

“Bombon” by Daddy Yankee, “The More You Ruv Someone” by Christmas Eve and Kate Monster, and “The Beautiful Ones” by Prince.

If you could have any former child star as a landlord, who would it be?

Shirley Temple. I'm guessing she had stories to tell!

Why does it suck to be you?

It kinda doesn't suck to be me. My life isn't perfect, but it's pretty great. Ok I thought of something: It sucks to be me because I can't afford to go on vacations with my sisters and they go without me and that sucks.
