Yesterday I was on Broadway to see the Avenue Q musical. Avenue Q is hands down the most entertaining I’ve watched so far. I laughed from beginning to end. Supremely highly recommended if you are visiting New York City, as in don’t miss it. I bought the soundtrack immediately on iTunes and I’m still laughing. That might not sound too amazing, but seeing as how I don't remember the last time I actually bought a CD, I was moderately shocked by my own behavior.Don’t expect elaborate sets or dancing here, but the puppetry is ingenious and the script simply excellent. It absolutely deserved the Tony Award for Best Musical over Wicked.
I know some of you expect Broadway shows to have amazing sets and costumes, but Avenue Q demonstrates that you don’t need any of that to have a great time.
Avenue Q" is a old show, but it's still the hot ticket on Broadway. It’s "Sesame Street" meets "South Park" with humans and puppets interacting in a familiar way on…well…unfamiliar topics. The song titles include "If You Were Gay," "Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist," "The Internet Is For Porn," "You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love)" and "Schadenfreude".
If you have RealPlayer you can see parts of some of the songs here: "IF YOU WERE GAY", "THE INTERNET IS FOR PORN", "EVERYONE'S A LITTLE BIT RACIST".
