About Avenue Q

If you are a theater lover then you can't miss your opportunity to get Avenue Q tickets. This musical that opened off Broadway in 2003 has won numerous awards including the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical as well as Tony Awards for Best Score and Best Book of a Musical, beating out the also adored musical Wicked. Playing at the Golden Theater, Avenue Q is a very intriguing story about the complexity of life shown through the acting of puppets.

This exceptional musical is actually based off the hit children's television show Sesame Street. Many of the characters, including roommates Rod and Nicky, are quite obviously adult versions of Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, and the character Trekkie Monster seems to be based on Cookie Monster. Although, because of Avenue Q's explicit puppet sex scenes and risqué songs based on racism and internet porn, the play takes no relation to the children's show.

The story takes place as a young college graduate, Princeton, moves in to the only apartment he can afford on Avenue Q. There he meets his superintendent, played by actor Gary Coleman, and his other neighbors where he realizes that the journey of life is filled with many struggles and surprises. With songs including "If You Were Gay," "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist," and "The Internet Is for Porn," Avenue Q is an adult centered play that keeps audiences captivated and laughing throughout the show.

It's a type of musical that has never been tried before. It's a real-life dark version of sesame street. In Avenue Q you witness not only the actors emotions and activity on the stage, but with the puppets connected to their hands, it's almost as if their are two casts involved. Don't miss this sensational Tony award winning musical and get your Avenue Q tickets before it's too late. Don't miss Avenue Q, the only musical that takes your childhood vision of Sesame Street and brings it to life.
