COME SEE WHAT ALL THE FUZZ IS ABOUT!
Avenue Q is a new breed of musical.
Cross Sesame Street with the Muppet Show and give it an X rating and you’ve got Avenue Q. Savagely funny, yet surprisingly poignant, Avenue Q reminds us that apart from death and paying taxes everything in life is only for now.
Performed by a weird and wonderful mix of humans and puppets, AVENUE Q was the winner of the three 2004 TONY AWARDS® including BEST NEW MUSICAL.
LIFE SUCKS ON AVENUE Q - where the residents are out of work, out of luck and desperately seeking their purpose in life. The show features full puppet nudity and songs like Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, The Internet is for Porn, and If You Were Gay.
