Posted: 10/26/07 at 4:25pmAvenue Q is not a parody of Sesame Street, and they make it clear they are not associated with the Children's Television Workshop or the Muppets in general.

Posted: 10/26/07 at 4:35pmWell, it may not be a direct parody, the similarities are obvious.

AVENUE Q is indeed a parody of SESAME STREET and yes...they do not have any affiliation with The Children's Television Network or Jim Henson's Muppets.
They are simply making fun of the whole SESAME STREET bit and parodying it in every way. IN EVERY WAY. The set design, the look of the puppets to the songs.
IT IS A PARODY!

Posted: 10/26/07 at 5:18pmIt's definitely more complicated than "it's a parody", but the elements are there.

Posted: 10/26/07 at 5:20pmno, I mean Wicked is a parody!

Gee - the fact that Nicky and Rod sound EXACTLY like Ernie and Bert, and Trekkie Monster sounds EXACTLY like Cookie Monster didn't clue you in?
Or maybe the fact that the original four puppeteer/actors all worked on Sesame Street?

Posted: 10/26/07 at 11:03pmPlus, the person who made the puppets made puppets for Sesame Street. And, I think the creators have even called it an "adult Sesame Street"

Fiyero it's okay, having a name here dedicated to a Wicked character automatically makes you dumb in real life.
I should know.
