Avenue Q tour - 6/17/08

I saw it when it opened in Seattle on the 10th. We had a pretty good crowd (though half of the mezz was empty). I knew a little about the show, but not too much, and I was surprised about how much my sister and I kept cracking up at everything. It really was an enjoyable evening. The whole cast was great (we got the alternate Christmas Eve instead of Miss Ai, and she didn't sing loud enough in some parts, but everyone else I could usually hear fine). I actually double booked myself that night (I had a graduation ceremony to attend (not my own)), but I think I made the right decision for a much more entertaining night.

And yeah, while the show seemed small, and would have been much better suited to playing at the Moore, they still made it work to the big space of the Paramount. We were sitting at the front of the Loge, and didn't feel like it was too bad.

I saw Rob McClure here in Buffalo and consider him a super talent.
