Avenue Q

I’ve been doing a lot of cultural things lately, because apparently not drinking frees up a lot of your time. I am SO glad I decided to take a study break and see Mazeppa Productions’ (
) production of Avenue Q tonight because I am so giddy and happy and excited and relaxed that I almost forgot how much work I have to do!
AMAZING cast. Seriously sometimes forgot those puppets weren’t actually singing. And the guy who voiced Trekkie Monster AND one of the bad idea bears AND Nicky. Best facial expressions/​voice ever. And the girl who played Lucy the Slut and Kate Monster had an incredible voice.
Let’s just say… I just saw Wicked at the Academy of Music in a theater about 30 times as big as this and 4 times as expensive, and the acting and singing and entertainment value of Avenue Q was on par. and I LOVED Wicked. It was great to be in a small theater and feel like you were IN the show and that the actors were so close.
HILARIOUS. I was seriously cracking up and laughing so hard I should probably apologize to the people around me.
Runs through July 27^th. Tickets are $ 25. We went for Young Friends night (free booze!) and there’s another special night coming up for a pre-​show drinks and snacks deal (same price): LGBT night the 25^th.
If you’re not familiar with the show, GO. If you’re easily offended… maybe. loosen up? With songs like «Everyone’s a little racist» and «The Internet is for PORN,» this show may not be the best thing to take your grandmother/​niece too. BUT IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING EVER.
