There's a good chance you have heard of the popular TV children's show Sesame Street, where there are both actors and puppets educating the young viewers. Well recently, there was a Broadway musical created based off of the show, but it's not as appropriate as one might think—this show is called Avenue Q. Whenever I'm describing this musical, I always say it's the "rated-R version of Sesame Street."
This 2004 Tony award winning show tells of what happened to the Sesame Street puppets and their preaching of being unique and could do anything isn't exactly applicable in their adult lives anymore. Having a cast of both puppets and human actors is partly what makes this musical one of a kind (as well as answering the question if puppets can have intercourse).
One of my favorite songs from it is when Nicky gives Rod the approval and says it's okay that Rod'a gay (he denies it for the majority of the show) but it's hilarious!
