"Avenue Q" is Broadway's smash-hit 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.  A hilarious show full of heart and hummable tunes, "Avenue Q" is about trying to make it in NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account.  Called "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see" by Entertainment Weekly, "Avenue Q" features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in a smart, risque and downright entertaining way.  The New Yorker calls it "subversive and uproarious!"

What is "Avenue Q" about?

Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, an optimistic college grad who comes to New York with big dreams and a tiny bank account. he soon discovers that the only neighborhood that he can afford is Avenue Q, but the neighbors seem nice: Kate Monster, a cute kindergarten teaching assistant looking for a soul mate; laid-back and easygoing nIcky and his roommate Rod, a Republican investment banker with a secret; out-of-owrk Brian, a stand-up comedian, and his fiancee, Christmas Eve, a therapist with only one client; and Trekkie Monster, an internet addict. Together Princeton and his new found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and the ever elusive purpose of life.
