Hi All;
    Saw Avenue Q last night and really liked it. I never really wanted to 
see it when it came out, ( I was tired of shows with puppets being crude and 
used strictly for jokes) but the touring show came to my hometown and we 
went. I like the set, the puppets and the puppeteering.     I know the 
performers are not professional puppeteers but they were really trained 
well. Hell I wish I had that type of training.
    So if you haven't seen it , go see it. Hey it wasn't the best show I 
have ever seen but it was fun, witty and done very well. I got allot of 
ideas from it and hope to use them in our new show.

Yes, it is the same as certain plays being more for adults just because the
understanding is more difficult....plays like Caberet, etc.
