Even puppets have problems with fidelity, racism, intimacy and sexuality. Bear witness to the citizens of Avenue Q. Among other characters, you’ll meet such puppets as the closeted investment banker, Rod; Treckie Monster who is a habitual masturbator; and Gary Coleman, the child star turned apartment superintendent.
The Broadway tour hit Kansas City, Mo. Wednesday and is sticking around through Sunday Nov. 11. The seven-person cast will stick its hands in the asses of several characters to tell you the story of finding who you are—and how it’s not as easy other puppet shows you watched in your childhood made it seem.
You can catch Avenue Q at the Music Hall in Kansas City, Mo. Tickets are on sale online and over the phone, but they’re going fast, so snatch one soon and heckle an irreverent puppet.
