The Internet is for WHAT?!?

Today I saw the musical "Avenue Q" with Dee and Pete.

It was terrific. Fantastic. Amazing. I honestly can't think of the right word to describe it. It's essentially a grown-up version of Sesame Street. There are humans, and human-puppets, and monster-puppets all living together on Avenue Q. With songs like "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", "If You Were Gay", "Schadenfreude", "There's A World Outside Your Apartment", and of course "The Internet Is For Porn" you can only imagine the type of performance you're going to get.

I especially loved the Bad Idea Bears who would come out and convince the characters to do things that were really bad ideas (like play drinking games with Long Island ice tea the night before Kate Monster's career making opportunity). They were adorable!

So yeah. If you get the chance to see this musical, do it. If not, well, at least download the soundtrack. The music is catch and the lyrics will make you laugh out loud (warning: you may not want to listen to the music in a public place. You will start to giggle like a crazy person, and passers-by will wonder about your sanity)

Now I just have to get "The Internet is for Porn" out of my head before I start singing it at work...

Saw it in the London West End last summer--hilarious!

Sadly, the Bad Idea Bears aren't on the soundtrack at all!

"Gee, Princeton, you could...kill yourself!" "Yeah!"
