Joel Joins Avenue Q

Joel Trinidad’s first claim to fame was playing the lead role in his kindergarten Christmas play. It is safe to say that he has come a long way since, having played everything from math geniuses to bitchy women to cross-dressing psychopaths to acrobatic chickens to gay playboys to giant condiments.

Actually make that… NEARLY everything because his multiple roles as the puppet master to Nicky, Trekkie Monster and a Bad Idea Bear in AVENUE Q mark a definite career first for Joel.
