IT SUCKS TO BE YOU! I say it sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, suck- it sucks to be you! NO, I’m not high but I’m thrilled! Doesn’t it suck to be “us” sometimes?! Well, you and I are not alone. There’s a musical that we can relate to to that feeling and it’s called Avenue Q!
I couldn’t believe it. I was talking to my sis in London and out of the blue we were singing a song from “Avenue Q” and then she says that she heard that it is going to be staged in the Philippines soon!! I was like, “OMG, you’re kidding! are you sure? Really?!” Well, I am so excited and happy for you guys in Manila because you’ll have this chance of a lifetime! Like seriously, if you’ve never watched a broadway show or a musical in your entire life, and you have the opportunity to watch it- Egad, make it this show!!! I saw this musical last year in New York with all the original cast from when it started and what a blast!
Avenue q is a Broadway musical smash hit and winner of the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical. Incidentally, one of the two writers and the brain of the show, Robert Lopez is half-Filipino (his mom is!). It follows the life of a wide-eyed fresh out of college guy named Princeton in search for his purpose in life after graduation. He goes to New York to start his quest. He looks for apartments and starts at the upscale Avenue A until he goes further down his budget which leads him to Avenue Q. So Avenue Q is basically the name of the street he will now call home. Along the way, he meets interesting characters like Gary Coleman, the block’s Superintendent (yes from the hit show Different Strokes! but not the actual gary coleman of course!), the funny odd couple Brian (a comedian who doesn’t have a job!) and Christmas Eve (a japanese who worked in a Korean deli and pursues a career in Psychology and is now a therapist with no clients or “crients” as she would say it!); the roommates’ Rod (the closet gay) and Nicky (just a laid back guy and a good friend), Trekkie Monster (who is obssessed with porn!) and Kate Monster (a Kindergaten teacher who becomes the love of Prniceton’s life)! Together, they find love, comfort and comedy in each other as they search for their purpose in life. Read more about it here!
