Couldn't Figure It Out Review by: Mer, Nov 23, 2011 |
| Not sure if it was just me, but I couldn't decide if I should be looking at the actor's face or the puppet. It gave me a headache. We actually left during the intermission, so we sat through half of it, and couldn't really tell you what it was about. Sexual preference, finding your way or poor Gary Coleman! |

Best Musical I Ever Seen Review by: Chubby Theater Goer, Oct 27, 2011 |
| This is absolutely the best musical which is now off-Broadway. You will laugh like you never laugh before. I have never been at a show where the entire audience is just rotfl. The current cast is actually even more talented than the original cast and there is added nuances and changes that make the current production better than the original production on Broadway. Veronica Kuehn who does Kate Monster and the voices and singing ... read more of other characters is extremely talented and wonderful and just a joy to watch. A lot of people dismiss this show because the characters are puppets but these puppets have a lot heart...much more than some of the human characters you see in other shows and this is mostly due to an impeccable witty script with amazingly talented puppeteers than can really sing. Remember, this is the show that beat Wicked for Best Musical. Not an easy task as the latter has been #1 in the box office like forever. |

This is muppets for adults. Understanding that, it is an excellent show. The cast is made up of extremely talented performers. Veronica Kuehn's performance is particularly stand-out.

Mixed bag! Review by: NB11, Nov 29, 2010 |
| Funny show that is a little racy and politically incorrect. I prefer a more traditional broadway musical. This show is mainly puppets who say and do "sexual" things. Glad I saw it but it is not a "must see." |

Please, parents. Take a little responsibility. Review by: , Nov 27, 2010 |
If I see another "I just brought my 11-year-old daughter and this show was so misleading and inappropriate" review, I'm going drop kick someone. The show is FOR ADULTS. If parents would do a little research (seriously, just a *little*) they'd know this beforehand. But nooo, blame the theater, blame the writers, blame friggin' Canada. Anything to justify your shock, anger, disbelief, and outrage. THE AVENUE Q SITE ITSELF HAS A DISCLAIMER IN THE ... read more FAQ. What more can the Avenue Q producers do for you? Parents, quit being so naive. The world doesn't crap lollipops and rainbows. Take a little responsibility and research what you are (yes, what *YOU* are) making your children watch.
This show for anyone who's graduated college with starry-eyed dreams of changing the world only to have them crushed by the harshness of the real world. There is a positive message towards the end and a lot of valuable lessons for young adults. This production, through it's witty and warts-and-all portrayal of most post-grads' struggles, teaches you that, yes, the real world can suck; but it's only temporary. Please see this if you've recently graduated or if you are someone older who's been through it already. You will get a good laugh out of it. I'm GLAD this won a Tony. |

Would not see it again and not appropriate for children under 16 Review by: Broadway fan, Jun 14, 2010 |
| It seems to be a dirty comedy. I did not like it and I am truly sorry that I brought my 11 year old child with me. Music and lyrics were OK, but I can't believe it was a Broadway show before. It is OK for off-off Broadway. |

Don't bother Review by: , May 15, 2010 |
| This show was probably the worst that I've ever seen. It was unnecessarily vulgar and crude. I saw no point to any of it. The group that I was with left at intermission. I'm very disappointed that this was a part of Best of Braodway. |

Either the Funniest Dirty Musical or Dirtiest Funny Musical. Ever. Review by: DoctorJoeE, May 10, 2010 |
This was my 4th or 5th Avenue Q experience -- I've lost count. But for me, it gets better every time, because just like each successive viewing of Blazing Saddles, you pick up jokes that you missed, or forgot about, or just wanted to hear yet again. And like Blazing Saddles, the story is so silly that it's great.
And now that the production has returned to Off-Broadway, from whence it came, the experience is, if anything, better. ... read more A relatively intimate performance space (in this case the excellent World Stages "multiplex") suits the whole Avenue Q concept so much better than a big Broadway theater (even a "small big" theater like the Golden, its Broadway home) and WAY better than that horrible, tacky, cavernous, ill-fated venue in Las Vegas.
If you grew up with Sesame Street, or watched with your kids as they grew up with it (or both, like me), you must see this show. I can't tell you why, really, because I don't want to spoil the numerous surprises. I will tell you that there are puppets involved, and the puppeteers are right there onstage, performing right alongside them. So keep your attention on the puppets, not the puppeteers; you miss lots of stuff if you watch the latter. There are also human (non-puppet) characters to keep track of, so it gets a bit confusing sometimes; but it's well worth the effort.
I should also mention that the puppets have X-rated mouths, and do some outrageous, X-rated things - so it is NOT a show for young kids.
I will also say if if you have adult kids, especially if one or more insisted on majoring in English, take them along.
And I'll tell you that one of the non-puppet characters is Gary Coleman. Yes, that Gary Coleman.
And I won't spoil anything else, I promise.
But remember Bert and Ernie?
Gay.
