Tartaglia does double-puppeteer duty as Rod, who sits around reading a book called "Broadway Musicals of the 1940s The puppets are just as confused and insecure as everybody else â€â€? all of them newcomers to a fictional street in one of the outer boroughs of New York, where they have to cope with finding a job, falling in love, figuring out their sexual identities and having sex And then we have a therapist named Christmas Eve (Ann Harada) who marries a guy (Jordan Gelber) whose big ambition is to become a comic on late-night television 'Avenue Q' Is Slyly Irreverent Musical Mar 20, 11:14 AM EST They're an appealing bunch, the youthful folks who live on "Avenue Q," which happens to be the title of the Vineyard Theatre's new, slyly irreverent musical that features live actors and a parade of fuzzy, furry and often very funny puppets In terms of language and content, we're also far removed from "Kukla, Fran and Ollie," the classic 1950s children's television program that counted Edward Albee and Stephen Sondheim among its biggest fans They write hummable songs that should make a terrific cast recording " Rod is a closeted Republican investment banker who can't quite 'fess up to the fact that he is gay The combination occasionally jars, but it never fails to entertain as the audience follows the cheeky adventures of actors and puppets, the latter artfully designed by Muppet veteran Rick Lyon Princeton is the show's nominal hero, wanting to find a purpose for his existence while at the same time pursuing a would-be kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster All three communicate a sense of childlike joy blended with a bit of adult sophistication and sass There's an actress (Natalie Venetia Belcon) portraying Gary Coleman â€â€? yep, the child star of television's "Diff'rent Strokes "Avenue Q" floats along merrily on its melodies She's another puppet, sung and manipulated by the sweet-voiced Stephanie D'Abruzzo " In "Avenue Q," Gary has found a job as a building superintendent In the case of "Avenue Q," though, that joy often mixes raunchy, frat-boy humor (and a four-letter word or two) with "Sesame Street" sweetness And we haven't even gotten to the humans in the show If Whitty's tale pulls all these characters together, it's the refreshingly unpretentious, just-plain-fun music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx that give the show its buoyancy He's brought to life by accomplished puppeteer John Tartaglia At the center of book writer Jeff Whitty's clever story is the orange-faced Princeton, the street's new kid on the block Yet, "Avenue Q" owes a lot to both shows Clearly, we're not on "Sesame Street" anymore, Big Bird And what's more, those puppets really can sing them "Eventually, I was able to use what I learned about form and bring in more personal material But he has been around long enough to see his old neighborhood change entirely and to miss what has been lost Brooklyn has this proud, sulky self-image of the place that was once so much greater and no one understands my parents had instilled me with the idea that the battle had been won, absolutely and forever "Girl in Landscape" follows a teen-ager's mythic adventures in a post-apocalyptic universe "He's always exploding genre conventions, and combining different genres," says his friend, Michael Chabon, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay But he also documents very real changes in street life, from the dramas of race and class in the 1970s and 1980s to the oncoming homogenization of the present " Lethem tells a fanciful story complete with comic book heroes and liner notes for a harmony group, the Distinctions, that exists only in the author's mind "Dean Street is now a very upscale street, a really elegant street," says Lethem, who lives a few blocks away in a one-bedroom apartment No one makes them like that anymore Jonathan Lethem comes home to Brooklyn Sep 17, 1:16 PM EST Dean Street in Brooklyn is one of those sweet, shaded neighborhoods that makes you nostalgic for a childhood you didn't even have He is just 39, with a teen-ager's narrow build and the hipster's dark-rimmed glasses It was a very fitful place when I was young They're slate sidewalks " But all of his work tracks the romantic's quest for what once was: a girl, a family, youth, the world itself His own work became a kind of answer The Dodgers left for Los Angeles several years before he was born It sort of boiled with human energy Mingus Rude is the son of a former soul singer and, for Dylan, comprises "a world, an exploding bomb of possibilities It took me some time to harvest an acceptable psychological distance " His recent novels have marked a steady path home "And the sidewalks " Lethem is not an old man clinging to memories of egg creams and the Brooklyn Dodgers In "She Climbed Across the Table," a professor loses his physicist girlfriend to a futuristic machine named Lack "For better of worse, it's a triumph of gentrification , and stayed away for 10 years, even as his old flame beckoned "I would come back and see my friends and go back to the old neighborhood and I was manifestly restless with it "It was a semi-communal household," Lethem says He calls it a cycle of "pulling away and yearning back You feel a sense of exclusion and identity "What was so striking to me was that as the child of an idealistic movement in the '60s ' "You sense it in the City Hall and in the downtown â€â€? what was taken from us His books include the award-winning "Motherless Brooklyn" and a highly anticipated new novel, "The Fortress of Solitude," the story of a white kid and a black kid who grow up together in Brooklyn Powerless in real life to bring back what he calls the "lost Eden" of childhood, he has instead resurrected it, with a few notable twists, in fiction "I think I needed a whopping dose of exile," he explains At least on paper, he's pulling away "When I was starting out, I had a tremendous interest in form and in concept "My father's painting studio was in some ways the opposite of a monklike cell " On the surface, there's little in common between the creator of the faraway Planet of the Archbuilders in "Girl in Landscape" and the memorializer of earthbound Brooklyn in "Fortress of Solitude His story will be less about parents and children than about relationships among adults And so it was left to the neighborhood to educate me in the rougher reality of disenfranchisement But for his next book, which he hasn't started, the author is thinking about the West Coast, the Bay Area Mainstream recognition came in 1999 with "Motherless Brooklyn," winner of the National Book Critics Circle prize It was both an unclassifiable book â€â€? a literary detective story featuring a narrator with Tourette's syndrome â€â€? and a return to native soil Loss has been an old companion of Lethem's, as intimate as the death of his mother â€â€? she died of cancer when he was a teenager â€â€? and as public as Brooklyn itself, this former city that joined Manhattan in 1898 but never truly became one with its richer neighbor "First of all, it's the homes," he says on a recent afternoon stroll, pointing to the compact brick row houses that line the block Dylan Ebdus is the son of a reclusive painter and filmmaker " While Dylan's father spends much of his time alone, Lethem's father usually had company There were fellow artists in his studio constantly and some of them were living in the house at times With Brooklyn there's that loss, the lack, the void in the center of it all, the sense that `we wuz robbed " Lethem recalls being a "really omnivorous" reader as a kid, with a child's passion for action heroes and an aesthete's fascination with literary boundaries " He enjoys a love affair with Brooklyn, and like other such affairs, he also requires distance And that overran any desire to do anything emotional and personal," he says " In researching "Fortress of Solitude," Lethem would duly walk around Dean Street and elsewhere, but he also wrote parts of the book in Berlin and at the Yaddo writer's retreat in upstate New York Author Jonathan Lethem, who really did grow up here, declares it the most beautiful street in New York City It was a meeting ground for a lot of different kinds of cultures, and now it's pretty uniformly white "Queens," the author says with a laugh about the neighboring New York City borough, "was only ever a suburb of Manhattan In his 20s, he moved to Berkeley, Calif He painted live, nude models, so there were models coming in and out " A graduate of the elite, Vermont-based Bennington College, Lethem began as an author of fantasy and science fiction He wondered why a science fiction thriller had to be categorized apart from a literary novel " Born in Brooklyn and raised in one those brick row houses, Lethem is the son of avant-garde artist Richard Brown Lethem, of whom the author has said, "I learned to think by watching my father paint |
