"Avenue Q" - Finally Saw It
15 years ago
I finally got to see this show tonight. I missed it when it came through San Francisco a year or so ago, but luckily it's showing in San Jose for a week so I was able to catch it this time.
It was a great show and was every bit as funny as everyone had told me. I think most people have either seen this show or know of it, so I won't bother with a description. But here's some interesting information I read in the program:
The music, lyrics and original concept for the show comes from Robert Lopez who also wrote the musical version of "Finding Nemo" that shows at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park in Orlando. That I didn't know. The "Finding Nemo" show was a real surprise to me. When I first heard Disney was doing a musical stage version of Nemo, I was like WTF??? I just didn't see how that movie would translate to a live theme park show, let alone a musical. But when I got down to Disney World and saw it, it was really good! In fact, I'd say it's about Disney's best theme park stage show yet. Pretty cool that Robert Lopez did both of these. Plus the program also says he's working on a new musical stage show written with the creators of "South Park"! Now that's a show I have to see!!!
Anyway, if you haven't seen "Avenue Q" and like the idea of a satirical stage musical comedy with puppets talking about adult themes, then be sure to catch the show if it arrives in your area.
