DOMA is an admirably ambitious company whose output has been variable, but I'm happy to report that its Avenue Q is firing on all cylinders. The production, under the direction of Richard Israel, is spot-on. Tech contributions from Staci Walters (scenic designer), Johnny Ryman (lighting designer) and David Crawford (sound designer) perfectly evoke the set of a "Sesame Street"-style television show, and the six-piece band, conducted by Chris Raymond, adds considerable richness to the many musical numbers. It's a first-rate production, and there wasn't a single opening night glitch or misstep in sight.
Avenue Q plays at the Met Theatre Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. with 7:30 p.m. shows just added. Reservations can be made here.
