I haven't seen Avenue Q but everyone I know who has seen it (I'm in the dance/theatre world here) says it's amazing. I did see Wicked. Both Kristen and Idina were amazing, but my issue with Wicked is this: the singing is far better than the songs. The plot is ok, but nothing outstanding, IMO. The sets and costumes are wonderful! The dancing is an afterthought. It's an extremely entertaining musical with two amazing leads.
However, Avenue Q, from what I've heard, has great music, story and the way the humans use the puppets is supposed to be unreal. It's something new and innventive and edgy AND it's really good - I think that's why it won. I don't think Wicked was robbed.
Though I do agree with DeltAlum that Kristen may have had to do more with her character. Elepheba has some really "killer" songs and that's what you remember. With Glinda you remember the character and her antics, plus the beautiful voice. Comedy is HARD to do!
