 a great soundtrack and great show! December 27, 2006
I saw this show, not expecting much. After all, it had puppets- I thought it would be stupid. But, like many things on Broadway, it was amazing. The music is great, the show was funny, and I love every bit of it. It is a lot like The Producers, or Spamalot. This CD keeps every great bit of the show. Totally 100% worth the price. Love it.
 Incredibly clever, but not the greatest music December 12, 2006

I bought this originally because, like many thousands of others, I was e-mailed a link to a funny wow video version of "The Internet is for Porn". I found the lyrics incredibly funny and the tune quite memorable. (Once you hear it it's hard to forget.)
I did some Google-research to find out more about the musical. Reading lyrics to other songs, like "Everybody's a little bit racist" and "If you were gay" convinced me that this HAD to be one of the funniest and most brilliant musical productions in a long time.
I guess if I saw this live it would be the experience I was hoping for. Simply listening to the tracks didn't quite do it for me.
Yes, many of the songs are incredibly funny. Yes, the lyrics are often brilliant and the tunes memorable. But too much of what lies between is only forgettable and even boring. (Who cares about Gary Coleman anyways?)
Only three or four songs make this worth the buy, and they all occur within the first six songs of the musical (out of 21). After one or two listens it becomes tedious to listen to the whole thing. I find myself skipping to the "good" songs, and finally just giving up on it all together.
I will likely still pop it in for a listen once or twice a year, but it certainly is nothing I'll download to my MP3 player for everyday listening.
Still, kudos to the production team for coming up with something so unique, clever and fun! :)
If Sesame Street was Real!? November 6, 2006

Avenue Q breaks down all the hardships in life and lays them down allowing you to take into perspective and laugh at them. The show is an outrageous play on Sesame Street featuring an ethnically diverse cast including monsters obsessed by pornography to the dreaming school teacher. The cast does an absolutely fabulous job of portraying the characters. I highly recommend this soundtrack with reservations to those who take serious offense to comedy at the expense at all races, cultures, and occupations.

If you loved the play, you will love the CD. If you haven't been, go! It is not suitable for kids.

I loved the show when I saw it over 1 year ago. I don't know why it took me so long to purchase the CD. The music is great and holds lots of surprises for a "traditional" Broadway show lover. It's lots of fun.
