i laughed, i cried, they kissed $600 goodbye
So we were waiting for Avenue Q to start this evening (she said, casually), and this party of four came in and sat down near us just before the lights went down. They were two crabby-looking Asian women accompanied by an incredibly surly boy in his early teens and a little girl about eight. They left at intermission. Um, duh? Who spends $150 per butt (unless they winked and got a better price than we did for our third row (aisle) orchestra seats) to take two CHILDREN to Avenue Q? How do you NOT know that there's live nude puppet sex in it?
Anyway, it was one of the best plays I've ever seen. We will be eating Top Ramen for a month to make up the hole in the budget this caused, but it will be SO worth it. I wonder if totally kick-ass homemade jam from Margaret would taste good on Top Ramen.

Okay, that's just ridiculous. Every ad I've ever seen for "Avenue Q" says that it's not appropriate for kids. I don't even listen to it in the car with Liam.
I would be more envious of your "Avenue Q"-ness if I didn't know it's finally coming here next spring, and also we saw "Young Frankenstein" yesterday, which was fabulous -- Roger Bart, Sutton Foster, Shuler Hensley, totally fantastic Andrea Martin.
Is the jam there already? Geez, that was fast. (And I would suggest Wonder Bread, maybe, instead of Top Ramen. :) )

Hehe. That reminds me of the time my parents took us to a show that turned out to be more like a Las Vegas/Cabaret show. Except that I think they did say it was a family show. We snickered and then ran to the bathroom to laugh about it with our friends. I was 9 or 10 at the time.
There was no puppet sex, though. :(
