Tonight is the opening evening of MUSKET’S Avenue Q! The musical explores coming of age stories as the characters navigate the struggles of entering adulthood. Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx created the concept that was eventually made into the Broadway musical familiar to us today. Featuring a combination of puppets, their puppeteers, and human actors the production reinvents the use of puppets in storytelling. Don’t let the idea of cute puppets fool you- this is not a children’s show. When buying my tickets for the show, the ticket master had to read me a warning: “The show is intended for mature audiences only”.
In recent years, Musket has brought the UofM community both loving classics and new edge theater; Into the Woods, Spring Awakening, and Big Fish are just examples of the diverse performance this organization has put on. I look forward to seeing how they’ve put their own unique touch on the 3 time Tony award winning musical, Avenue Q!
