This past Tuesday, Lauren (my roommate), our neighbor, Sarah, and I went to see Avenue Q at New World Stages. We bought the tickets through EHS, our summer housing, so we only had to pay $40. I first heard about Avenue Q when Duff and the Charm City Cakes crew from Food Network's Ace of Cakes made a cake to celebrate the opening of the musical. From that, I gathered that it was a comedy, with puppets as the main characters, and it could be a little bit dirty.
According to Wikipedia, "It is an 'autobiographical and biographical' coming-of-age parable, addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood. It's about a kid named Princeton who moves to Avenue Q after he graduates from college. Throughout the play, he's constantly trying to find his purpose in life. Anyways, I'm not going to tell you a ton about it.
The verdict? It was a GREAT show! It was in fact pretty dirty, well, as dirty as puppets can get I suppose. "How can puppets be so racy?" you may ask... well, there was a puppet sex scene, a song called "The Internet is for Porn," and a character named Lucy the Slut. So no, I wouldn't take my mom to see it (those of you who know Deb can imagine why), because I know from 21 years of experience that she does not appreciate that kind of humor. As for the rest of you, GO SEE IT! It was a great show and was so funny.
