It has been some time since I last watched a broadway show and Avenue Q came highly recommended... from my brother, friends, officemates, online... even from those who haven't seen it! So there was already high expectations from me plus I came with friends who don't usually watch broadway either. Thus, it should be really good for us to be satisfied.

Avenue Q did not fail us. It was all that it was hyped-up to be. I was surprised that live people were acting beside puppets and the actor holding puppets are visible at plain sight. I initially thought that they make efforts to hide. But immediately you begin to ignore the actor and focus on the puppet. They are so talented and the scripts, songs and jokes were spot-on. Not since Rent i've listed to al the songs of the play afterwards.

So... don't miss the local run in Manila!!! You won't regret watching it!

Just watched Avenue Q in broadway, NY and it was great! I'm glad that we watched it when we did cause the very next day they went on strike (ala WGA).

Update: I've just watched the local production here in Manila last Saturday. I wish they had a local version of the album as well... cause they sang it better :)
