“The 24-year-old actress — who is onstage for much of the Tony-winning musical about a world where people and furry beings coexist — worried about pulling off the shocking scene between Kate and her love interest, Princeton, portrayed by actor and puppet master Howie Michael Smith. ‘I learned it for maybe an hour and I was, like, done with it,’ Romano says of the X-rated romp. ‘I was like, ‘That’s it. I never want to do that again. I feel so dirty.’ … And I would watch it every night and I’d go, ‘I can’t do that. I can’t do that.’ And then, basically, you just start laughing. … You just get sucked into the world that is ‘Avenue Q.”” [Link]

“Lost at sea with nothing to hold onto amid a dreadful darkness, Florida resident Walter Marino continually called out some of the few words his 12-year-old autistic son Christopher responds to. The pair, swept out in a late-afternoon current near Daytona Beach, had been treading water in shark- and jellyfish-infested waters throughout the night, slowly floating apart. ‘I’d be screaming, ‘To infinity … and beyond!’ ’ Marino said, referring to the Disney character Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase in ‘Toy Story,’ one of Christopher’s favorite movies. ‘Then I would hear him and it would be more and more and more distant, until finally I couldn’t hear anything.’” [Link]
