They ended up in a show called RENT!
Well, not quite…actually they ended up in a show called Avenue Q, an adult (VERY adult) version of Sesame Street. You remember Sesame Street right? The children’s show that tells everyone that they are special and the world is a wonderful place…?
Well, on Avenue Q, our “hero” Princeton, finds out that everyone is NOT special and the world can be really crappy sometimes! He is an unemployed graduate, looking for a purpose and finds it by falling in love with Kate Monster. She, in turn, is a kindergarten teacher who wants to start her own school for monsters. Meanwhile, other denizens have more humble desires: uptight Rod yearns for a male partner, Lucy The Slut for wall-to-wall sex and Trekkie Monster for untrammelled internet porn.
And while not quite the happy finale of other musicals, it all ends up ok, with the inhabitants of Avenue Q going about their daily business, secure in the knowledge that their lives are no better or worse than anyone else’s.
The show has REALLY rude language and live puppet SEX….so do NOT bring the kids!! This AIN’T Sesame Street….and these cute, furry little puppets have the foulest mouths on the avenue! Remember, you HAVE been warned!!
Directed by Garrick Smith, with Muscial Direction by Rose Shorney and Choreography by Jordan Kelly, the very talented cast of 12 and 5-piece band can’t wait to bring all the fun, the merriment, the songs and the smut to the stage.
