| - I never expected to enjoy a puppet show so much! Vegas has been plastered with ads for this new show on buses and on top of taxis and in every local publication, but I really didn't know what to expect. I'ts been compared to Avenue Q- and if you don't know what that is, it's basically an adult improv show using Jim Henson puppets. That description doesn't do it justice, though.
The troupe of puppeteers (4 men, 2 women) have a closet full of puppets to select and an entertaining emcee picks which performers go up and asks the audience for input for skit locations, themes, activities, and such. In that regard, each show is different based on audience input. Again, this does have an "adult" theme to it, so expect various sexual references and situations.
The puppeteers are extremely skilled- adept at manipulating the puppets and making different personalities come to life with motion and voices, and simultaneously doing (good!) improv, which occasionally also involved singing. The show was fun and funny, and it was really cool to be able to see how the puppets were controlled. Thanks again to fellow Yelpers Rachel and Adrian for the invite and a fun night out!
