Show Information;
Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best
Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart.

The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college
grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the
way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem
nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together,
Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their
ever-elusive purpose in life.

Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to
mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a
favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous
adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children's show; a place where
puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned.
