Avenue Q never fails to crack my shit up but def. not good for a child...

Funny you mention that! I was with my youngest son in London last spring. He and I decided to go to a show and he suggested Avenue Q, having heard from a friend that it was funny, so away we went.

Well, have to say it was pretty awkward to be sitting by him (he was 15 at the time) during the puppet sex scene

But, we still laugh about that awkwardness! AND, it was a terrific show! I didn't know muppets could be that entertaining!!

My best friend watched it with his grandparents. He said it was the most awkward thing he has ever experienced in his life.

When I was living in Manhattan, working at the UN, our son (granted he was a musical theatre student in college at the time) came over to visit and I surprised him with tickets to Avenue Q.

Then, he really surprised me. We went out to dinner with some of his friends in the city, and one had just been cast as understudy for all of the women in the show. She took him backstage and he got to meet the whole cast.

Poor baby.

While we were eating, her purse was stolen. Gotta love New York. Which, of course, I do.

That's really good to know. We have tickets to see her concert here in Denver the first week of August.

Saw her in NY in both RENT and Wicked.

Very talented woman.

Indeed she is! You'll love the concert. She performed most of, if not all of her current CD as well as a couple of RENT and Wicked songs. She's wildly entertaining and really hilarious. She gives off a really informal, friendly vibe and loves chatting with the audience. Great concert experience!

That's great. We're seeing her in a wonderful space built not long ago for the excellent Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver.

It's not real big and is great for shows like her.

Mrs. DA is really excited because she has never seen her in person.

Bummer.

New York casting agency called the kid today to ask him to audition for an "immediate" roll in Grease in NY.

Unfortunately, he has two weeks left in his present contract, and has performances seven days a week.

This is the same agency that cast him for his last NY show and were considering him for the next opening in A Chorus Line -- which, of course, is closing.

That business is worse than TV.
