I was lucky enough to be in a project with composer/lyricist Jeff Marx at the Academy of New Musical Theatre in North Hollywood and then see the show in LA in his and his family's presence -- the guy is a kick and as down-to-earth as they come for being half of a pair of comedic/musical geniuses. The other half of that pair is Bobby Lopez who is half-Filipino -- to get to know these two and their amazing Broadway little-engine-that-could success on Broadway, check out the 2007 film "ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway." Avenue Q even had a successful run in 2008 in the Philippines -- which shows you adults are really big kids all over the world! My recommendation -- get the CD or download it from iTunes and have yourself a fab night laughing with the show audially, then RUSH out and get those tickets to the Sacramento show and enjoy it even more the second time when you add the visuals and especially the full frontal puppet nudity... ;) GO! DON'T MISS IT!
