They're the guys responsible for "The internet is for Porn" song, so I think they're be worth watching.

Let us know how the show goes.

Saw it on 28 February. It was great. Act 1 is better than Act 2 though as Act 2 is shorter and thus, the climax seems rushed.

yeh saw it two weeks ago. Pretty funny stuff.

it's hard to get over how the actors and muppets are voicing the same things but you get used to it.

I've seen some on youtube, bit confused about whether you're meant to watch the puppets or the puppeteer, since they're both expressing.
I'd have no problem watching sesame street live like that though, but I dunno about fake sesame street.

Both. That's why you have peripheral vision. It does get a bit difficult sometimes.

it was awesome, everyone is right about the second act being short, but it was still entertaining. everyone should go see it.

I thought the same thing when I saw the commercials. I found the woman making faces particularly distracting and irritating - I'd prefer it if all the actors were in ninja suits.

yeh, I don't like this. It's always been a bit of an unstated rule (or maybe I turned it into a real rule) that when posting things like this you need to at least include a bit about what Avenue Q is and maybe some media or something to justify it. Plz do that in future threads!

Saw it in London a few years back for my birthday, not too bad. Once you get over the fact you do see the puppeteers and their mouths open, it's ok.

I actually liked the fact you could see the puppeteers face and especially see their facial expressions that you can't see in the puppets.. I thought they brought more life into the show. anyway just my 2c.

It's like reading subtitles in a foreign movie, bit annoying at first but you get used to it and forget all about it.

I thought The Producers was hilarious. I even saw it in a London theatre with the missus when we were holidaying visitng family/friends.
