The puppets are coming

It's official, Avenue Q is set to tour starting in August. My contact at SHN Group sales says they are finalizing things, but would not give me the start date of the SF run. However, as soon as he does, I will be reserving tickets. I can't wait. I think it will be a BLAST!

I saw the show in NYC, and loved it. I hope they perform it in its entirety!!!

I'm curious why they wouldnt perform the whole thing?

(And sorry I missed last evening, got home and was out cold on the couch in record time.)

What do you mean "in its entirety"?

Actually, the Vegas show was cut down to ninety minutes so it was without intermission. Same for Hairspray and, I wouldn't be surprised, for Phantom. People get a quick hit of "culture" (and they can tell their friends in Ratshit, Iowa they saw a B'way show)and then they want them back to gambling, drinking and eating ASAP.

Having never seen Avenue Coup, I would love to do it finally. In fact, your next post is the closest thing I've ever seen of the production....

YAAAAAAAAAY!

I tried to get tickets in the lottery when I was in NY a few years ago, but no dice.

I repeat, YAAAAAAAAAAY!

OMG! I saw the show in Las Vegas, and LOVED it.

(I especially loved it as different nuclear family types started getting disgusted and walking out, leaving more room for me to stretch out and enjoyu the show...)

Randy doesn't know it yet, but he and I will DEFINITELY attend a Bear's Night Out at Avenue Q when you announce it!

You rock. :)

We all have to go to this and sing all together with the cast "The Internet is for Porn". Would that be wild or what?

Tours don't generally leave things out (unless they're too technically hard to do, like the Act 2 magician's trick in Ragtime was, which they cut from the touring version). Fortunately the rest of the country isn't like Vegas, where the assumption is that people don't want to have to concentrate too hard for too long while away from the gaming floor. Or something like that.

I got to meet Ann Harada (the original "Christmas Eve") a couple of weeks ago, at an audition. She's delightful in person... and TINY!!!
