[11:59] Avenue Q
I completely forgot to mention that we went to see Avenue Q last Friday at the Noel Coward Theatre. The theatre was nice and cosy, it was all red velvet and brocade with all sorts of little nooks and crannies that ended up being box seats, not to mention three seperate bars!
The production Avenue Q is a musical told via puppets of the Sesame Street ilk. It tells the story of a university graduate (Princeton) and follows him on his first day out in the real world (kicking off with the song "What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?") touring through the various problems that befall one on the way to ultimate wisdom (housing, money, girls, lucky pennies) before finishing up with....well I don't want to spoil it, suffice to say that it IS a moral tale but manages not to be preachy. Or maybe I'm getting too old and I just THINK it wasn't preachy...uh, hang on...
*time passes*
...sorry about that, I'm back. There were some damn kids out the front playing with a ball and making far to much noise. I went and yelled at them, and then I forgot what I was doing and trimmed my nosehairs on the way back. That's why I took so long.
Anyway, I did really enjoy the show and I thought it was pretty cool the way they made no pretence of hiding the pupeteers. It was interesting watching them and their facial expressions/body language and comparing that to what they were manipulating the puppets into doing. A good time had by all!
