Avenue Q

Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!! I meant to see this show on Broadway, actually from as far back as when I returned to the US from my term in Oxford. The show hasn't "officially" opened here yet, so I was able to get tickets for 10 pounds, and I was almost rolling on the floor with laughter. It's Sesame Street for adults really, with puppets and humans interacting on stage, and songs on the themes of sex (including but not limited to "The Internet's for Porn"), racism, homosexuality, laughing at others' misfortunes, etc. It was completely politically incorrect, very tongue in cheek (blowing raspberries, actually), and therefore a fabulous breath of fresh air! I highly highly recommend it, it's the best thing I've seen in a long time. Oh and yes, there's a character meant to be the child actor Gary Cole grown up, whose almost sole purpose throughout the show is to take the mickey out of Gary Cole.

I'll post some pictures from Paris tonight, I hope.
