If you need a ladies room during intermission, better slip out quickly - the line gets very long.

Very clever show that is funny throughout, and at times uproarious. Modeling itself after the show "Sesame Street", the show satirizes many factors about contemporary life, mainly around the anxieties associated with entering adulthood. It's target audience is clearly people in their 20s and 30s, so going into the show with that frame a mind will aid in enjoying the humor.Written on Aug 03 2010
As it's been mentioned elsewhere, although the show uses puppets and is modeled after "Sesame Street", it is most definitely for adults and not for kids.

A really fun show, I like to describe it as Sesame Street on crack! The humour is definitely dark and all the more funny for coming out of a puppets mouth. There was less profanity than I recalled from the first time I saw put the puppet sex was more graphic than I recalled. 'Schadenfreude' might be my favorite song.Written on Jul 19 2010
