Avenue Q!

So fabulous, so funny!! Avenue Q was everything it is touted to be and more.

The show is all about the journey into adulthood. The realization that life is way more complicated and complex than you think it will be when you are graduating college and the world is your oyster. Idealistic and somewhat naive Princeton moves to Avenue Q in New York and begins his quest to find his "purpose" in life. His journey, along with the other residents of Avenue Q, is a hysterical ride that shines a light on life, love and the many conundrums each has to offer. Oh, and did I mention most of the cast are puppets?

I took my 14yr old daughter to see it with me. I was a little concerned because there was so much talk of the vulgarity factor, but I wasn't bothered by it at all in the end. Yes, there was vulgarity and "adult themes" but none of it I considered offensive and I think thats the key. It had a good message and subject matter that she will likely experience eventually. The few moments that did make me cringe slightly and do a stealthy sideways glance, I'm pretty sure flew right over her head.

In the spirit of Valentines Day, I'm posting a clip from a show in Australia that features cast members Kate Monster and Christmas Eve Performing "The More You Ruv Someone"
