AVENUE Q is the smash-hit Broadway musical about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent,
Tony-winning book and score.AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone’s looking for the same things he is: a decent job, a stable relationship, and a ‘purpose.’ Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that ‘the real world’ isn’t so bad, after all!
The New York Times hailed AVENUE Q as ‘a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe. Savvy, sassy and delicious!’ and Entertainment Weekly claimed it was ‘one of the funniest shows you’re ever likely to see!’

Bannon as Nicky and Trekkie Monster, Heidi Carletti as Lucy the Slut, Julie Kellar as Christmas Eve, Stephen Barszowski as Brian, James Barksdale as Gary Coleman, Melissa Kauffmann as Mrs. T/Puppet handler, Amy Swartz and Gordon Joyner as the Bad Idea Bears.
