Avenue Q: Broadway Review
Think "Sesame Street" grows up with Avenue Q, a musical complete with phonetics lessons, porn addicted monsters and puppets looking for life's purpose. An evening spent on Avenue Q is truly a joy.

La Boheme: Broadway Theater Review

Cirque du Soleil's Varekai
Although Cirque du Soleil's latest New York City production, Varekai, doesn't stray far from their typical model, it the enchanting costumes and amazing acrobatics make it worthwhile.
