You may have already seen the posters around town featuring shameless puppet cleavage. But what can you do? Sex sells. Even if it's puppet sex. And
Avenue Q is full of it. For those of you who don't already know (likely because you're living under a rock on Mars with your fingers in your ears),
Avenue Q is a parody of
Sesame Street for adults. It's a lot like
Sesame Street except instead of singing about numbers and colours, these puppets sing about AIDS and fetishes. Just what
Sesame Street has been missing for the last 50 years. The musical opens in T.O. for the first time tonight and runs until the end of August. This is worth seeing if only to hear such hilarious musical numbers as "The Internet is for Porn", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", and the one that best applies to me, "What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?". The answer: write about the opening of
Avenue Q.
