Avenue Q [PA] by Original Cast (CD, Oct-2003, RCA Victor Records USA)

Ok, I admit, I have a thing for musicals... but not the 'Phantom of the Opera' or 'Les Miz' variety. I'm a bigger fan of the more contemporary stuff that isn't so wishy-washy and Oklahoma-esque. That said, Avenue Q is certainly one of my new favorites because it spins real life lessons in a way we all grew up with...

Racism, post-college job prospects, internet porn... these topics are all told through sesame street-like songs that you'll grow to love.

But you don't have to take my word for it.

I saw the show in NYC, and loved it so much, I had to have the CD. The best part is getting to hear all the funny things I missed at the show because I was laughing so hard. Great CD.

I never made it to NYC to see the real thing, but in a way, having this CD is even better. I can listen to the Original Broadway Cast anytime - mostly in my car or office - anytime I need a smile (especially those days when "It Sucks to be Me").

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical on this one but all the energy and full of the real life production of the muppets all grown up is outstanding. Without reservation this one needs to be heard. There is a great deal of truth in these tongue in cheek tunes!

If you haven't seen "Avenue Q", you may not understand the lyrics to most of the songs on this album. The play is very sexually charged and is definitely not songs from "Sesame Street". But if you've seen the play, you'll enjoy the music and it will make you laugh all over again.

Planning to attend a presentation of this musical in the Fall. Like to preview before attending. Had a pleasent time with this seller; received cd in a timely basis.

Listening to this CD brings back all the hilarity of seeing the show. Simple, witty lyrics sung by muppets. Five years later and I still lol during some of the songs.

The recording is the soundtract to Avenue Q. The play has some very disturbed but funny muppet moments.

Witty and fun songs and very special for me, as we are getting Avenue Q this summer at our theatre. I have heard a number of the songs in concert before, and it is so refreshing to hear the cast recording.

Great quality & fast delivery

What wonderful songs. Some of them out outrageously funny. Even the serious songs are funny. A bit racey. I would recommend this to anyone who has been out of college 5 years, or more.

Sesame Street meets Rent. Music is a bit risque, but is very funny. One of the funnest shows I've seen on Broadway.

Heard Some of it on satelite radio-Broadway chanel and had to buy it. The album notes are great and I am planning to see the live show in Houston or Pittsburg this fall. Maybeboth places.

I loved the way this CD is edited.
loved most of the songs even though I never watched the show itself.
suites for adults how loves funny "muppets style" songs.

I love this CD. I heard it once at a party and I had to have it. If you like musicals and love humor than I would recommend it.
