THEATER REVIEW: AVENUE Q * * * 1/2 (3 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
This new musical, which recently moved to Broadway from Off Broadway, is a parody of children's programs in general, and of Sesame Street in particular. But tackling such subjects as racism, casual sex, homeless, and coming out of the closet, it's definitely not for children!
It's very funny, but after all the great reviews I'd heard, I expected it to be just a little funnier. And I found the ending too trite. I think it was making fun of trite endings, but, just the same, it was a little unsatisfying. But the show was very clever and original and very funny, and it is highly recommended.
This is The Official Record.
