Ms. Quill, who was called ‘equal parts Margaret Cho and Debra Monk” by the Los Angeles Times for her recent performance in the musical, Closer Than Ever, and “a real chuztpah generator’ for her role as Madame Liang in 50th Anniversary Production of Flower Drum Song, rejoined the rest of the Original Company to perform the closing number, “For Now.”

The final number included performers who have done the show over the years including National Tours, Las Vegas Company, and of course, Broadway. Ms. Quill was delighted to be included.

Erin Quill and Carmen Ruby Floyd, Original Broadway Company The surprise of the evening came when the Producers announced that Avenue Q would not be closing, but moving Off-Broadway to New World Stages.

Ms. Quill is the daughter of Kevin P. Quill, Attorney at Law, and Carmel Quill, Lic. Ind. Broker, who live and work in Garden City.

She will next be seen in The Mikado Project, an indie film that is currently in post production.
