Saw the national tour of Avenue Q tonight. Loved it. Was waiting to see it for almost 3 years, ever since I first heard the score. Really brilliant. It leaves Tucson this weekend, so catch it if you can.

The only disappointment was the acoustics of the TCC Music Hall. The space was just poorly designed for that, which is ironic, since it's a MUSIC HALL. I am a bit more picky about this than most things though, since the sound design professor in the theatre program I graduated from literally wrote the (one and only) book on sound design for theatre, including theatre designed for sound. I TA'd for the man for three years, so I have a soft spot for good theatrical acoustics.

But I digress. Seeing the show in person was a wonderful experience and I will certainly be humming or outright singing the songs fairly constantly for the next few days.

Brilliant work. Absolutely brilliant.
