Avenue Q: after the show

Today I watched this:

Two words: Pure awesomeness.

Seriously.

Here's a little background-er, according to Atlantis Productions:

Life may suck on Avenue Q, but for a bright-eyed college graduate called Princeton, this is his new neighborhood. A tiny bank balance and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbors lead Princeton on a hilarious journey of self-discovery. Performed by an unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets(!), AVENUE Q was the winner of the 2004 TONY AWARDS for BEST NEW MUSICAL, BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL and BEST ORIGINAL SCORE! It continues to run on Broadway and in London's West End to SRO crowds.

Think of it this way, imagine an R18 version of Sesame Street with nude puppets, sex scenes, and some profanities.  It mainly dealt with grown-up topics like greater purpose, unemployment, relationship, racism, homosexuality, and of course, porn.

The casts were great.  They were funny, and and voices were just wonderful. Plus I think I have this crush now on Felix Rivera, who played both Princeton and Rod. 

Cast members include:

Felix Rivera as Princeton and Rod

Carla Guevara as Kate Monster and Lucy The Slut

Frenchie Dy as Christmas Eve

Aiza Seguerra as Gary Coleman

Joel Trinidad as Trekkie Monster, Nicky and Bad Idea Bear

Rycharde Everley as Brian

Tenee Chan as Bad Idea Bear.

I especially loved Carla Guevara, Felix Rivera, and Joel Trinidad's voice.  It's amazing how they can play different roles, and sing it.  Wow!  And Aiza Seguerra was kinda cute playing gary Coleman making all those child star jokes.

I wish I could do an actual review, and stop dropping adjectives like "great" and "wonderful", but I can't.  I'm no "theater person", I just really loved it.

Tickets are sold at P500, P1000, P1100 and P1300.  Honestly, it doesn't matter where you sit.  RCBC Theater is pretty small, so you get a good view wherever.  They'll be in town until June 22.
