Arquivo S.A.Marionetas
Avenue Q is Sesame Street on steroids, combining a Muppet-like aesthetic with a brand of adult humor that only works because life is, after all, a long, tedious march toward the grave. Oh, and because the songs are absolutely brilliant.
The story follows Luís, a recent graduate full of hope, Paula (the "slut"), Félix (the "closeted" gay man), and Trekkie (the pervert), among others. Together, they try to find a purpose in life and discuss the existential themes that affect us all, in an innovative show that transformed Broadway and captured the hearts of audiences.
