Avenue Q


Last night Michael and I and another couple went out into the rainy night. We travelled out to Boston to go see the hilarious musical Avenue Q. I was excited to see the show, but even more so for the fact that we were going to one of my favorite pizza places Crazy Dough's for dinner. I got my favorite slice there, which is a baked potato pizza with thin slices of potato, bacon, chives and all that great stuff topped with ranch dressing.....YUM!!!

Anyway, after dinner we left Harvard Sq. and headed into Boston. This was my first time sitting in the balcony at the Colonial Theater, and man do you loose any sense of personal space. There was no leg room, which was really an issue for Michael, but the plus was we could see the entire stage.

The show was amazing! Michael had purchased the soundtrack a year or two ago and I had listened to it off and on, but never got really into it. But, being there live and hearing all the songs in the context of the show was beyond funny. I think my favorite number was "Everyones a little bit Racist" and I have to say I love the reminder that George W. Bush was only for now. Honestly every song had me laughing like crazy. Who would have thought puppets f*cking on stage would win a Tony award for best musical :)
