This past week I was spoilt rotten... and the week of indulgences ended with the grand finale of being whisked away to the theatre... to rub elbows with the rich and well to do.  Wink.... okay, maybe not... giggle.

We went to see Avenue Q at the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre
in Toronto.  The premise of this musical/puppet/comedy is basically a performance of Sesame Street on Acid... aka Kinked out Muppets. Its a story of 20 to 30 year olds, dealing with starting out on their own, and dealing with being politically correct, or not so much, their sexuality, their careers, or lack there of, in a urban lower class neighbourhood. 

 It was cute, funny, entertaining and a nice break from everyday life. 

We both did find it funny that Theatre goers can be snooty even when going to watch "naughty" puppets... this show is not for everyone.  You actually may need a sense of humour to enjoy it.

I did over hear these two very stuffy comments... "That was a bit more vulgar than I expected" and "Well at least the chairs are comfortable which is more than I can say for the performance"... all I can say is, its hardly vulgar, at least not on my scale, but there are a few "touchy" subjects, and the occasional curse word. 

Here, enjoy the intro on me... smiles.
