DO NOT take kids to see this.
Review by: Dancer0617, Aug 14, 2008

Do NOT take kids to see this. My husband and I were so disgusted at some of the songs and jokes that we left before the first half was over. PLEASE do not take children to see this, not even teenagers. Honestly, it is vulgar and explicit. And yes, I understand it uses puppets, but it's still not appropriate for kids. The lady at the box office told us that a 10 year old could see it, but no 10 year old should be exposed to a show like this. Some ... read more of the songs were a little catchy, I'll give it that, but overall it was awful and I'm glad we left early.

Nothing Special
Review by: , Jul 23, 2008
|
|
it was ok, a good story, but a wierd concept. It's something that you wouldn't go see over and over again. I would recomend wicked rather than this. I've seen wicked 3 times, this show i have no desire to go back to. It was a one time only viewing for me, which means it's nothing special.

Funniest show on Broadway

One of my favorite shows of recent years, I've seen the NYC production twice now. Very funny and some really catchy music. Highly recommended, especially if you grew up with Sesame Street.

Not sure why it won Tony Awards.... not THAT special
Review by: gnomie_73, Jun 16, 2008

I saw the advertisments, read reviews, saw that it won at the Tony Awards. I had my hopes up that this was going to be funny. Boy, was I let down.
I saw the show at the Paramount Theater in Seattle.I have to say, it was "cute" but the plot of boy meets girl has been over-played. The best part of the show was the performers themselves. Especially the guy who played Princeton/Rod. He had a great voice and although he was holding the puppets, ... read more he blended in by moving just like the puppets.
The show was okay, but not as good as I was hoping for. Some people left at intermission. My boyfriend wanted to go then, but since I forked out way too much money for this show, we stayed for the entire performance.

My girlfriend and I were very disappointed with the show.
The musical was described as a splice between the simpsons and rent; and, I would not make that comparison. The jokes were dumbed down and I was bored within the first act.
I think the show was a waste of my time.

Avenue A!
Review by: , May 6, 2008
|
|
I saw Avenue Q April 4 2008. I was a little scared about seeing a play with puppets but it was great! It was so much fun! It was a little crude and surprising at times. I wouldn't bring kids to this though. There are some scenes/topics that aren't great for kids. If you are offended easily then don't go. If you want to have fun and laugh and be a tad bit embarrassed at some of the things then go and have fun!

I saw AVENUE Q when it first opened and then again on April 29. It is still in great shape and one of the most original, clever shows in New York! What fun! Take someone from out of town who hasn't ever seen it!

Hilarious Production
Review by: Andy, Apr 19, 2008
|
|
This show is dirty, risque and often downright crude and I loved every minute of it! The adult content that is sung entirely by puppets just increases the hilarity and it is worth every cent. It's not a perfect show but you can't go into it and not expect to come out with a grin on your face. I'm only a teenager and i still loved it despite the adult content. All mature teenagers (especially ones that grew up on Sesame Street) should see this. ... read more It does not disappoint.

who can believe that you'd have a great time in the theater?
Review by: MickeyBoy7, Apr 4, 2008

I am a 57 year old Boomer and I found Ave Q to be a great evening in the theater. It had many laughs and some nice musical numbers. A great surprise. You may not believe it but songs about racism and how it is bad to be me are much more entertaining and memorable than all of the depressing so called songs in the big hit Spring Awakening.
Have some fun and see Ave. Q!!!
