Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere.

Remembering Jonathan DemmeMARRIED TO THE MOB1988, USA, 106 minutes, rated RDirected by Jonathan DemmeWith Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Dean StockwellAngela deMarco is unhappily married to high Mafia member Frank deMarco. When Frank is killed, Angela takes the opportunity to break free of the Mafia world entirely and start a new life. But Frank's boss, Tony Russo, begins to court the unresponsive Angela. The FBI begins surveillance on her, thinking her to be Russoâs new mistress. FBI agent Mike Downey goes undercover as Angela's neighbor, but soon finds himself attracted to Angela himself.Discussion after the film with Married to the Mob's Production Designer, Kristi Zea, who worked often with Jonathan Demme.âDemme isnât aghast at kitsch, or even superior to it; actually, heâs its purely loving archivist and he matches Kristi Zeaâs zestful production designs, setup for setup, with song after song (the contribution of Gary Goetzman and Sharon Boyle), from an original score by longtime collaborator David Byrne.â Sheia Benson, Los Angeles TimesâJonathan Demme is the American cinema's king of amusing artifacts: blinding bric-a-brac, the junkiest of jewelry, costumes so frightening they take your breath away. Mr. Demme may joke, but he's also capable of suggesting that the very fabric of American life may be woven of such things, and that it takes a merry and adventurous spirit to make the most of them. In addition, Mr. Demme has an unusually fine ear for musical novelty, and the sounds that waft through his films heighten the visual impression of pure, freewheeling vitality. If making these films is half as much fun as watching them, Mr. Demme must be a happy man.â NYT Criticâs Pick â Janet Maslin, The New York Times.
