The hit Broadway musical featuring singing puppets, 'Avenue Q', opens to its first non-preview audiences on September 8th.
Instead of doing a national tour, Wynn Las Vegas has locked up the performance rights and built a theater specifically for the show.
Reports from the preview audiences are very strong. If you're looking for something fun and funny to do in Las Vegas, this is a great option.

I bought tickets yesterday for Sept. 14. The buzz has been pretty good, but I haven't seen much in the way of marketing yet, which may explain why tickets are plentiful. Tickets are $99 per seat, Orchestra level, so my expectations will be high. I'll be sure to include my impressions of the show, and Wynn in general, when I return.
Socalduck, Friday's LV Sun has a review of Avenue Q.

Avenue Q is the funniest, most entertaining Broadway show I have ever seen. I was literally in tears for the first 30 minutes, it was that funny. A nice change of pace from all of the Cirque and Cirque wannabe shows. My wife was highly skeptical of show featuring muppets, but it won her over, as well. I highly recommend this show to anyone, especially anyone under 50.
The Wynn theater, like the rest of the resort, is also first rate. More to follow...
