The show was really good. The talent was amazing. Singing dancing and acting at the same time is tough. Try singing dancing and acting for 2 or 3 characters at the same time. Yeah. For those that don't know, Avenue Q is in a kind of muppets style of characters, having both actors and puppets onstage. The puppet operators are visible, and therefore have to act (though only as the puppets- they're engaged with facial expressions and the such). Several of the actors played anywhere from 2 to 7 different puppet characters. It was especially fun when the lead actress, who played Lucy and Kate Monster, had to have a dialogue with herself (as Lucy and Kate were talking to each other). Don't get confused though- other puppeteers would do the puppetry for them while they did the multiple voices.
Anyway, the show was very good overall. Some characters obviously shined more than others, even when they were played by the same actor (as in the actor played one character better than the other). It was funny at one point, when there was a little cartoon short, Uncle Sam took money away from a person in the cartoon. Greta and I laughed out loud. No one else did in the entire theatre. American much?

Wow, it seems like you guys have a tough schedule! My students thought that their days were full until I told them the number of hours you are in class. Now High School seems easy. Have fun!
