Avenue Q

As children we asked how to get to Sesame Street. As adults, we’re more likely to find ourselves living on Avenue Q. On Avenue Q, people live next door to Internet-addicted monsters and neighbors of many colors, including green, blue and pink. One thing is certain: This Broadway musical sensation is unlike anything you’ve seen before. The live show first ran in 2003 before making an impressive six-year run on Broadway. Actors playing the puppet roles don’t even attempt to hide from the audience. And since the audience has grown up, so have the characters, who discuss (and sing about) racism, homosexuality, alcohol and the traverses of adulthood. The words have become more adult, too, so consider yourself enlightened. Avenue Q will be at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center April 1-2. www.tulsapac.com
