Q:
Avenue Q is a dippy, corny little musical my mom and I went to last night. It had been years since I’d seen a show on Broadway and, puppets? I’m always down for puppets.
Avenue Q is about a street in a forgotten part of Manhattan and everyone, puppets, monsters, and humans alike who lives on it. Everyone is in their mid to late 20’s trying to figure out like. The puppeteers are visible as as actors on stage. Their facial expressions mimic those of their puppet friends.
It’s creative and clever as hell and lots of fun. It ain’t much of a musicial if you care about stuff like that (I don’t). The songs are bland and barely necessary. You’ll learn nothing about life you didn’t know after one semester in college. But the puppets, man! God bless those puppets. And mega dap to Rick Lyon, the genius who designed them all.
Oh and there’s a character named Gary Coleman. Who is Gary Coleman in the story. Played by someone who is not Gary Coleman. Don’t ask.
I just discovered Avenue Q through iTunes, and am hating the fact it’s not on tour. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the music with the campy and borderline un-PC Broadwaye-sque style of songs that *puppets* sing. Now my interest is even greater since I’ve been sold on Avenue Q by the music (and concept) alone and you’ve said that the music is barely necessary.
Someone get me a ticket to New York, STAT. Heh.
