Off-Broadway's Avenue Q is a show with puppets that rocks the socks off adults.  While you're totally engaged in the puppet-on-puppet action, it's easy to forget the actors who bring these extraordinary characters to life.  Darren Bluestone plays Rod and Princeton, two very different characters, with great ease and agility; what's more, before the show he'd never handled a puppet before.

We caught up with Bluestone to chat about his Avenue Q audition, what advice he'd share with his younger self, and a behind the scenes story.
