Hand to God - Avenue Q revisits Boom

I thought I would never see Puppet sex like avenue Q or a show almost as shocking as Boom.  I was wrong.  Hand to God shines as Puppetry gone mad mad mad.

Steven Boyer is nothing short of spectacular as he carries a role as the lost son and Tyrone, the puppet who DOES NOT STOP.  How does he keep these two characters straight in his lines and in his mind???   The rest of the cast is outstanding as well carrying a fast-paced and unnerving show through to the end.

As Boyer turned over the claw hammer, the audience gasped and one person even voiced, "No Don't."  Don't tell me the audience wasn't involved in this one.

And puppet sex.  Yikes.  As the puppets go at it, the two puppeteers carry on a key conversation.  Just great acting.

Off-broadway at its BEST.
