Last night Dave and I went to go see a Broadway show at the Granada—Avenue Q!! I love that we have access to a place that has performances of things like Broadway shows that is even within walking distance of us!

Anyway, I bought these tickets ages ago—as soon as I heard this show was coming to town, because I was dying to see it. Everything I had heard about it was that it was hilarious—and I mean, with dysfunctional singing muppets, how could you go wrong?! I got us pretty close seats because I wanted to be able to actually see the puppets.

The interesting thing about this showing is that there were quite a lot of older people in the audience—and by older I mean, like 70’s or something. I really don’t think these people had a clue as to what they were going to see—I am betting they just have season tickets and thought they were seeing a nice, respectable Broadway show. Instead, they saw puppets getting it on, swearing, drinking, and probably being generally shocking if you weren’t expecting it. What would you expect though from a musical that has songs like “It Sucks to Be Me”, “The Internet is for P*rn”, “If You Were Gay”, and “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist”?!

The show was pretty much constantly funny—with the songs, their actions, the TVs that would come down and show animated videos to aid in the storytelling, and the help of awesome supporting characters like the Bad Idea Bears!

If anything I’ve said above sounds even remotely appealing, you should TOTALLY go see this show! It was awesome!! It seems that tons of people I know also went to see the show while it was playing this week—I guess this is just one of those shows that prompted people to really get out and see something at the Granada!
