Avenue Q

I LOVED this show! It was absolutely hilarious, the music is great . . . I just loved the whole thing. However, don't let the cute fuzzy puppets and Gary Coleman fool you. This show is dirty. This show is raunchy. This show is crass. But this is also the funniest show you will ever see in your life, if you can handle the dirt, raunch and crassness of it.
Funny thing about Utahns . . . even when they are warned that this show is all of the above (and possibly more) they still purchase a ticket, come to the show, then get absolutely disgusted and irate, leave, then have the audacity to complain about it. People- there were disclaimers on the door as you walked into the theater. What did you expect? That the people putting on the show just wanted to see how few people they could get to show up? C'mon. Put on your big girl panties and either deal with it or just don't come.
And another thing that bugs me . . . my sister-in-law kindly informed me that my next statement proves that I'm getting old. It bothers me when people don't dress up to go to the theater anymore. It seems like nobody gets dressed up for anything anymore. When I was little and went to shows with my mom it was cool because we got to get all dressed up for it. And everyone else was dressed up, too. It just made the whole thing seem that much more special and exciting. But now when you go you see people in ripped jeans and hoodies. Not even nice hoodies, ones with holes and stains in them. Where's your sense of respect people? But hey, people don't dress up for weddings or funerals anymore either, so why should they get dressed up for the theater?
