Avenue Q on Broadway

We had no idea. After a wonderful night of gaming with MS, PS and a couple of other friends, DW and I were sifting through the library on TC's computer (I ripped every CD we own to iTunes, 32.8 days of continuous music, 55.38GB varying from 128kbps to 320kbps) as we were using the "party shuffle" function to provide music for the duration. Anyhow, DW had heard what appeared to be a showtune earlier in the day so we went looking for the rest of the tracks to it and discovered it was a disc we had backed up for our niece in Chicago; it was the soundtrack for the musical Avenue Q. Neither of us knew anything about it and we did nto have track or album names because iTunes did not recognize the disc so did not fill in the names.

I went hunting in Google for the soundtrack and found a great site that has basically (with a few minor errors) all the lyrics for all the songs in the musical. From those pages we were able to name the individual tracks and the album itself. However, in doing so, we realized that this musical was more adult-oriented than we previously though, even though it was performed entirely with puppets. It has a twisted, and sometimes dark and slightly sick, sense of humour which is why we really want to see it now. Hopefully we will be able to scrap the coin together to go see in on Broadway (and finally visit my aunt in the process).

Check out the site and maybe you will think about joining us, or checking it out on the Vegas trip. Here is the Vegas review of it.

Ciao.
