I know that, but the show's been on Broadway for years.

Saw the edited-for-time version in Vegas last year.  Funny premise, but the one joke gets a little stale after a while.  I don't think I could've taken more than 1.5 hours of it.

So is this show just about puppets being gay and shocking?  I don't get it.

It's a really fun show -- speaks to slackers, post-collegiate crowd, and anyone who grew up in 80s & 90s really well.  And a lot of straight-up presentation of issues of race, jobs, self-worth, porn, friendships, gayness, and more (Yeah I know that last sentence sounded sorta stupid, but trust me, the show is fun.  AND there's a running gag re Gary Coleman)

let me see, gayness with a human hand up a furry animal's bum.  according to brian, shouldn't it be the other way around?
