Anybody here seen Avenue Q?


My 8 year old daughter saw a commercial for it and wants to see it, but I've heard its not quite Seseme Street. Who's seen it and what's your opinion of it?

I've not seen it physically, but Youtube has a few videos.

but I've heard its not quite Seseme Street

Here are a selection of song titles from Avenue Q. I'll let them answer that statement.

Everyones a Little bit Racist
The Internet is for Porn
It Sucks to be Me
You can be as Loud as Hell you want (when you're making love)
If you were Gay

They're not all like that but you get the picture. I love "The Internet is for Porn." Quite funny (definately adult humour).

My whole life just flashed before my eyes. It was really boring

It's not suitable at ALL for an 8-year old. Period.

It's as edgy a musical as you can get. Save it for when she's 16, maybe 13 if she's mature enough by then.

This is DEFINITLY not suitable for an 8 year old.

I can't feel nothin' at all!

Not suitable for child under 15, deals with racism, homosexuality, porn etc.
Lots of fun for adults though.

So I'm still confused; is this suitable for an 8-year old or not?

reply

No!
