Unnecessary FarceBy Paul Slade Smith "A smash hit! Two hours of non-stop laughter. The plot weaves you through mix-ups and mayhem you won't believe. This is one funny show you don't want to miss!"
|
“This laugh-out-loud comedy has everything one can hope for in a modern-day farce: two likable cops operating way out of their league, a supposedly crooked mayor with impeccable timing, his innocent-acting wife, a shy accountant with a penchant for dropping her drawers, a nervous double agent who'd like to get IN those drawers, a Scottish hit man whose brogue gets thicker the angrier he gets, two adjoining motel rooms, simmering sexual tension and eight doors a slammin'.” - Donald V. Calamia, Between the Lines |

Avenue QRATED R for strong adult language, mature themes and full puppet nudity. Recommended for adults only. Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx CRITIC'S PICK: "SWEETLY SATIRIC and SURPRISINGLY FRESH!" |
Named the Best Show on Broadway of 2003 by over 13 publications! AVENUE Q is a gut-bustingly hilarious modern musical focusing on a group of unique 20-somethings making their way in the big city, seeking their purpose in life. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children's show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned. 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. AVENUE Q is a laugh-out-loud musical that 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. |
