Synopsis  More puppets come to the Big Stem (Hmmm. Lower pay scale than real people?). The producers of Avenue Q speak of a "charming yet rundown outer-borough neighborhood" (we might call it Brooklyn), where residents deal with the usual challenges of living in New York City. The bare bones website includes quotes such as "Warning: Full Puppet Nudity"; "What the fuzz are you looking at"; "Slightly overweight puppet seeking soul mate"; and "I am NOT a closeted homowhatever". Makes us want to see it more and more. We can tell you the names of four characters, Kate, Rod, Trekkie and Lucy. We can also say that the puppets bear an astonishing likeness to Sesame Street characters, not too surprising as they were brought to the stage by Rick Lyon, a Sesame Street designer (compare Avenue Q's buxom Lucy with Miss Piggy.
