Review: Smithtown Production of 'Avenue Q' is a Hit

Local production of Tony Award-winning musical scores praise for director Rick Lyon and cast.

In a glowing review, Broadway World Long Island recently raved about the latest show to hit the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts, Jeff Whitty's Avenue Q.

The musical has won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score. The local version, directed by Rick Lyon - part of the original Broadway cast - is a "fantastic one"  according to reviewer Melissa Giordano.

She writes: "Everyone sounded amazing together as well as, of course, individually. They each had their moment as the majority of the cast had multiple characters to play. This was an incredible feat as each of the puppets had distinct personalities and each member of the cast was on point."

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.

Isn't that above the cap? Funny, when another news source mentioned 5 districts that are breakingRead More the cap they didn't mention Smithtown. Dn't worry, the district will bully and scare the parents into voting yes by threatening programs instead of doing what they need to do which is reduce administrative costs.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
