The Show Avenue Q is an amazingly funny show that consist of adult humor. They sing/talk about everything from "If You Were Gay", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", "The Internet is For Porn", and even "You Can be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love)". Those are just a few of the eyebrow raising songs we hear and see in this hot musical.

Show Boat was the first racially intgrated musical, in that both black and white performers appeared on stage together. It was also the first musical to depict an interracial marriage and to feature a character of mixed blood who was passing for white. The show also has been attacked for the use of the word "nigger" in the lyrics in the first scene, in addition to the historical portrayal of blacks serving as passive laborers and servants.
