SUMMARY: 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, "Avenue Q" is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere.
Warning: mature themes explored through poly-foam puppetry! 
NOTE: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG CHILDREN (PG-13 content).
