Tossing Sesame Street and Rent into a hilarious theatrical blender, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Avenue Q concerns itself with the everyday lives of humans and puppets in an unnamed "outer borough" of New York City. Unlike the kids' show that inspired it, Avenue Q features few (if any) colorful count-alongs — instead, it follows puppet protagonist Princeton as he ventures into adulthood and deals with issues like racism and homosexuality. Despite Princeton's anguished efforts to find his life's purpose, the play stays in farcical territory, featuring everything from musical numbers about Internet porn to hot 'n heavy puppet humping. Needless to say, leave the young ones at home.
