Tony Award-winning Avenue Q is a people-and-puppet musical
that tells the tough truths about life.
When recent college grad Princeton (clever name, huh?)
moves into a shabby NY apartment on Avenue Q (where’s that you say?)
he discovers that he’s not the kind of ‘special’ his parents
and the TV culture of his childhood prepared him to be.
Fortunately, he’s got friends to help him discover the purpose in his life!

Dust off your detecting skills in preparation for this show
- after more than 50 years and 24,000 (!) performances, it still thrills!
