Just watched Avenue Q at the esplanade just now.. Sexy, Funny, politically incorrect Musical... Some parts of it is so cynical, racist, X-rated.. but it's all part of the Musical. Would say it was good, and really did make me laugh.. the meaning behind the Musical is to make us think about what's our purpose in life, just like the lead character, Princeton, who was lost in life, 23, left with not much penny.. Messing up his life, not knowing what to do.. searching for a purpose in life.. In the end, he found his purpose is to help others.
A refreshing night to be watching a play that was voted the best play in 2006. With interesting songs and puppets acting, it's a brand new way of looking at muscial for me.
One of the interesting word that was picked up.. Shadenfreude, ( sha-den-fre-u-de) meaning Happiness at the misfortune of others.. This is in german. lolx... how appropriate to use it in that context, remembering what the germans did back then..
