Avenue Q
Avenue Q definitely provides a memorable experience for the audience. Although the show is very humorous, it does discuss many truths of society. For example, everyone is a little bit racist. We are all aware of some stereotypes of various groups of people. And maybe admitting that society has this problem is the first step towards a solution. However, I did find some of the concepts in the show to be disturbing. For example, the idea that people get joy out of others people’s pain is not always true. For example, if my mom’s car breaks down, I tell her that she shouldn’t be upset because at least she has a car and other people don’t. I’m not happy that other people don’t have a car, I just appreciate that my mom does. Also, the idea of becoming broke, unemployed, and potentially homeless after college was a bit scary. I think our entire row of classmates got a little worried at the idea that a college degree does not guarantee a job, and that life probably won’t work out the way we plan it to. But according to this show, the hope of a monster that invests in porn donating money to us to make our dreams come true always exists. So, we don’t have to worry to much. The best part of the show was meeting the casts afterwards. I think my heartbeat has still not returned to a normal rate. It was awesome to see how down to earth and genuine the actors were. Talking to them partially nulled my fears of becoming a failure because I realized that these actors are successful. Overall, seeing this show was a great experience worth writing about.
