商品の説明
Amazonレビュー
「Avenue Q」によって、ブロードウェイは大人向けの洗練されたエンターテインメントから離れてしまったと考える人たちの不満はますます高まるだろう。「コール・ポーターのウィットにあふれた歌詞と大人っぽい題材は一体どこへ行った?」という声がきっと上がるはずだ。
まあ、確かに「Avenue Q」は「セサミストリート」を主な元ネタにしたショーだし、劇中のユーモアにはとんでもなく下品なものもある――そう、四文字言葉やパペット同士のセックスが出てくるのだ。しかし、このショーがハートに訴えるものを持っているのもまた確か。その証拠に、「The More You Ruv Someone」は「どうしてみんな仲良くできないの?」という典型的な始まり方をする。また、このショーは大いに笑わせてくれもするのだ。
音楽について触れると、スコアは1970年代のポップを基にしており、これまた「セサミストリート」風だ。人形師のジョン・タータグリアとステファニー・ダブルッゾによって操られる素晴らしいキャストもなかなかの歌を聴かせる。ユーモラスなナンバーからはいかにも笑える要素を引き出し、より正攻法のナンバーにはペーソスを見出している。「子どもっぽいショー」にしては悪くない出来と言えるだろう。(Elisabeth Vincentelli, Amazon.com)

「If You Were Gay」を聴いて、曲に乗りながら大笑いしてました。
何にも考えずに「The Internet Is For Porn」「Everyone's A Little Bit Racist」
「It Sucks To Be Me」を知ったらもう”Avenue Q”にハマってました。
曲と詞がぴったりしていれば、ミュージカルはパペットを主役にしてもOKだと思います。
中・高生でもわかりやすい英語だし、詞の内容も自分に当てはめて考えられる題材ばかりです。
今頃(2008)知った自分が情けないです。でも円高もあるし、出来たら予習をして観劇に行きたいです。

超人気番組のセサミストリートを舞台にひっぱり出してきただけあって、
非常に曲が明るくて、聴いていて楽しくて、ついつい踊ってしまうような
ナンバーが盛りだくさん!!
なぜかどこか「アメリカ!!」って匂いがするんですね。(もちろんいい意味で)
でも結構テーマはシビア(加えて大人向け)だったりして、でも歌詞の中身を吟味していくのも
またいろんな宗教や、出身が違ったりするいろんな人がいるアメリカならではの一つの側面、考え方を見ることが出来るのも一つの魅力かもしれません。ままたキャストはみんないい声をしていて、特にJohn Tartagliaは素晴らしい歌声です。

上記のレビュー(Amazon.comの)には大いに反論を唱えたい。子供っぽいショーにしては悪くない出来?このミュージカルは決してセサミストリートを元ネタにした物ではない。プロダクトチームの中にはセサミに関わりが深いメンバーも少なからずいる点、パペット達が出てくるという点を除けば全くの別物。内容もナンバーも、パペットと人間の関係もこの作品とセサミでは大きく違う。確かに洗練されたミュージカルナンバーはないし、台詞も下品な物もある。しかしそうやって片付けてしまえない奥の深い内容が含まれた実に楽しいナンバーが盛りだくさんなのだ。決して押し付けがましくない、でも心に残るそんなナンバー。俳優達は人形遣いと書かれているが彼らはブロードウェイのどの役者にも劣らない立派な舞台役者。歌声もキャラクター性が見事。つい声を荒げてしまったが、作品をよく知りもしない人物の見当違いな批評は参考にしないで欲しい。

アヴェニューQは今年,トニー賞のベストミュージカルに選ばれました。CDを購入して聞いてみると確かにすばらしい作品です。ある一人の青年の成長、葛藤などをアヴェニューQに住む人々との交流を通して描いているのですが、曲のタイトルを見てもわかるように結構世の中をストレートに風刺(?)していて、それを不愉快に思う方もいるのかもしれませんが、私はそこがこのミュージカルのすばらしいところのひとつだと思っています。認めたくないけど確かにいわれてみればそのとおりだよなぁと思わせてくれること間違いなし!!大人のための人形劇(?)本当にすばらしい作品なので、是非聞いてみてください!特に大学生~位の人にはいい意味で人生の助けになるんじゃないかと思います。
最後に、この作品は人形劇(+人もいますけど)なので、一人の人が2役とか4役やってたりします。その声の使い分けを聞くだけでも楽しいですよ☆

Ah, where to begin with a show that is this good? "Avenue Q" is one of the funniest and most original musicals ever, and it is very hard to find anything wrong with it. Well, okay I think Natalie Venetia Belcon could be a stronger on some vocals but she certainly is not bad and she performs very well in her sort of meta-post-cross-gender part of Gary Coleman - it's just that the rest of the cast is even stronger. Ann Harada is very quirky as Christmas Eve but she can turn on the pipes if she needs to as shown in "The More you Ruv someone". Rick Lyon probably doesn't have the best singing voice so he just splits it into two character voices for Trekkie Monster and Nicky, and all of a sudden, he is spectacular. And then there are John Tartaglia and Stephanie D'Abruzzo, both Tony-nominated in parts where they could just have been puppeteers - instead they sparkle. Tartaglia is wonderful as Princeton, newbie on "Avenue Q" and protagonist of the show, he is even better as quirky gay Republican puppet Rod. And D'Abruzzo is sizzling as Lucy the Slut but might be one of the most charming performers on any cast recording in her performance of Kate Monster.
But how good can a cast be if the material is bad - the material here is top-notch. Some songs are shamefully hilarious, among them "What do you do with a B.A. in English?" (especially if you have an M.A. in English), "It Sucks to be me", "The Internet is for Porn" and "My Girlfriend, who Lives in Canada". Other songs, however, provide the show with a heart, most notably "Fantasies Come True" and "There's a Fine, Fine Line". Then there is "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", urging people to give up their faux-political correctness in order to live in a better world.
Sure, the show is even better on stage - the Bad Idea Bears don't get enough presence on the CD - but this is as good as it gets, this is Ethel-Merman-in-"Annie-Get-your-Gun"-good (and the show per se is certainly better than "Annie Get your Gun") so it would be foolish not to own this CD; please don't be a fool!

WITTY AND REFRESHING
2009年10月7日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I am a huge fan of all musicals and regularly look for new album releases to purchase even although I don't have the finances to get to the theatre as often as I'd like. I've purchased a few scores recently, most blind having not heard them before but going purely on reviews and the most recent one was Avenue Q.
I had seen a very brief clip of the format of the show so knew what it was about and had also seen the Explicit Lyric warning on the album so had a fair idea of what to expect. What I didn't expect though was such a witty, lyrically excellent and melodic musical. I downloaded this very late one evening and listened to it only once that evening and yet the very next day I found myself singing lines from a few of the songs which had instantly stuck with me. Having now listened to it several times I find it an ouststanding piece of work.
The story of the inhabitants of Avenue Q, a mixture of humans and puppets in the style of Sesame Street all living together and going through the crises of life that face us all - love, political correctness, flat sharing, unemployment - this is a very grown up musical despite what the use of puppets might suggest.
I am so pleased I purchased this alum as it has some cracking songs - 'It Sucks To Be Me', 'Purpose' and 'Schudenfreude' stand out.

If you've read through several of the past reviews, you'll see that people tend to react STRONGLY to this material -- most think it's brilliant, but some find it trite or offensive, and you may be having trouble determining into which category you will fall.
I went to college with one of the composers, and I knew as soon as I read the song titles on this album that I would LOVE this show -- not only because Bobby is such a talented musician, but because the show's sense of humor is very much based on the experiences that our generation had in college and beyond.
In a nutshell, you will LOVE this show if you meet these two basic criteria:
1) You have a genuine fondness for Sesame Street. If you grew up loving the muppets and enjoying the simple truisms and upbeat tunes of Sesame Street songs, then you will appreciate the music and the style of the show. As a 30-year-old parent of a toddler, I have found myself falling in love with Grover and Prairie Dawn and the gang all over again as I watch the show with her and see it through her (delighted!) eyes. We own a 25th anniversary DVD of the best musical numbers from Sesame Street, and I think my husband and I have even more fun watching it than our daughter does, because as adults, we have come to realize that the musicians who write Sesame Street songs are BRILLIANT composers with strong backgrounds in numerous musical genres. The same can be said for the writers of Avenue Q -- sometimes it takes a very complex understanding of music theory and history to write songs that are so truly simple in their catchy melodies and so simply true in their clever lyrics.
If you are NOT a child of the Sesame Street generation, you may feel that the music of Avenue Q is simplistic or annoying and that the messages are trite or immature. But those of us in the know appreciate that this music is genius. (And the cast members' ability to channel Frank Oz and the other talented actors who have provided years of muppet "voices" is truly astounding.)
2) You can appreciate anti-PC "Gen Y" humor. Like South Park and the Simpsons, this type of humor is meant for people who have had political correctness drilled into them for so many years that they've realized it's time to LIGHTEN UP! If you could write a paper on why one should use the term "Asian-American" instead of "Oriental," then you'll probably be highly amused (and a little relieved) by the simple but true observances in "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist." If you spent four years on a liberal campus where homosexuality was not only tolerated and accepted but perhaps even a bit hip and cool, then I bet you'll love hearing "Ernie" try to convince "Bert" that it's okay to be gay. If your women's studies class taught you all about why pornography is degrading to women, you'll likely laugh to hear an exasperated Kate Monster try to dismiss the notion that for most men (and plenty of women!) the Internet is, at least in large part, for porn. And anyone who has been ashamed to admit that they sometimes long for the safety, camaraderie and freedom of college life will instantly identify with a song about just such a sentiment.
Those who should skip Avenue Q include 1) people who think that a show is only worth listening to if the chords and rhythms are as complex as Sondheim, and 2) anyone who hasn't at one time considered Jim Henson a minor deity. (Don't get me wrong -- Sondheim is, of course, also a god -- but I think there is a place on Broadway for music that is less overtly cerebral and more hummable.)
SUMMARY: Politically enlightened, college-educated children of the 70s and early 80s who know the lyrics to the "Rubber Duckie" song and remember life before Elmo and political correctness will most likely adore Avenue Q. Everyone else should probably skip it.
