You know you're in for a naughty good time when a show includes graphic puppet sex, cute but sadistic bears, and a special appearance by TV's Gary Coleman. What can somewhat be described as a very, very adult-leaning, expletive-spewing cousin of the iconic PBS children's series Sesame Street, AVENUE Q-whose 2nd National Tour is now playing a too-brief, week-long engagement at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood through March 6-manages to be both entertaining and revolutionary. Timely, surprisingly touching, mildly offensive, harmlessly risque, and downright hilarious, AVENUE Q is easily one the smartest, funniest musical comedies ever to grace a Broadway stage in the last few decades.
The 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, AVENUE Q - the smash hit about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets - will return to Los Angeles for a strictly-limited 8 performance run, March 1 - 6, 2011. This engagement marks the first time the show has come to Hollywood's historic Pantages Theatre.
