As Shrek is to CGI films, Avenue Q is to musicals. It's raunchy, politically incorrect, and absurdly funny. By listening to these puppets (muppets?) pour their cotton-stuffed hearts out in song, you come to learn the answers to a few of life's never-asked, yet oft-wondered questions--questions such as, "What can you do with a B.A. in English?" and "Why does the internet exist?"...and of course "What ever happened to Gary Coleman?"
Really, though, if you have to actually sit through an album of showtunes from a musical, why not make it the one where muppets (puppets?) sing you songs about sex, money and racism? Lord knows you could definitely do worse.
