Manchmal kann man die Qualitat einer Wohnlage am Alphabet ablesen: In New York etwa lebt es sich recht gut auf der Avenue A. Von B uber C bis zur Avenue D wird es jedoch immer schmuddeliger. Dann kommt das Ufer des East River, und Manhattan ist zuende. Ware das nicht so, konnte man sich ausrechnen, wer wohl in den Straßen lebte, die die hinteren Buchstaben des Alphabets tragen, in der Avenue Q zum Beispiel. Die fiktive Adresse liefert zugleich den Schauplatz und den Titel des diesjahrigen Musicals im theaterhagen. Sie ist ein Ort fur Menschen, die ihre großten Erfolge entweder lange hinter sich haben oder noch brennend - wenn auch im Moment leider vergeblich - darauf hoffen. Da es aber ja nicht immer die besten Eigenschaften sind, die mit Wohlstand belohnt werden, sind die Verlierer in der Avenue Q ein Gruppchen außerst liebenswerter Charaktere. Sie traumen davon, ein Star zu sein oder auch nur eine erfolgreiche Kindergartnerin, und vor allem traumen sie von der Liebe. Und die ist in der Avenue Q genauso schon und genauso kompliziert wie anderswo.
Al Piccolo Teatro del Baraccano di Bologna, in una cornice open air molto suggestiva, e stato portato in scena il secondo spettacolo dell'A Summer Musical Festival.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh (people), part felt (puppets) and packed with heart. This long-running Broadway hit is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet-surfing monster), Lucy the Slut (and proud of it), and a host of quirky neighbors who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life. A little bit naughty, a lot a bit nice, and with enough satire to satisfy the monster in all of us. Contains mature content and dialogue.
