Review: 'Avenue Q'

The snarky puppets of 'Avenue Q' come to Broadway San Jose

By Steve Palopoli (01/13/2010)

" I GUESS when it comes to naughty puppets, you have to be careful what you wish for. Personally, I wish Avenue Q, the long-running Broadway musical touring in San Jose at the Center for the Performing Arts this week, was an edgier parody of Sesame Street’s chipper, overcaffeinated puppetry. "

Preview: 'Avenue Q'

Broadway San Jose brings the profane puppets of Broadway's hit to the valley

By Steve Palopoli (01/05/2010)

" NOTHING guarantees a good time like racist puppets. Well, they’re not really racist, just a little bit. As they themselves like to sing, it doesn’t mean they go around committing hate crimes. No, the puppets in Avenue Q mostly like to go to monster school, read totally gay books and sing songs like “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist,” “If You Were Gay” and “The Internet Is for Porn.” And of course, they run all over the stage with actors’ arms up their asses, which is how they get around.
