Avenue Q is a musical that’s like a twisted version of Sesame Street. And I found it quite funny and pretty entertaining :P It’s about a fresh out of school puppet named Princeton who set out to do what most fresh graduates do: go out into the “real” world and work. Soon after, he ends up in Avenue Q where he meets a whole bunch of quirky neighbors and what follows is a hilarious two hours. The cast was great in providing the voices to the puppets as well as providing additional facial expressive clues. Don’t just focus on the puppets. Worth mentioning is Joel Trinidad (Val’s favorite) and Aiza Seguerra (“former child star”, her own words). Unfortunately they replaced Rachel Alejandro with Carla Guevarra. Or maybe that’s fortunate because Carla was pretty good. Whatever, it’s still one good play to watch. It’s the final run here in Manila so try not to miss it.
