Avenue Q - History

Avenue Q is a musical with book by Jeff Whitty and music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. The show opened off Broadway in March of 2003, and moved to the John Golden Theatre in July. Currently, Avenue Q is the thirtieth longest running Broadway musical, and the production has won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score. Avenue Q is an homage to the children's program, Sesame Street, and as such makes use of a combination of puppets and actors to tell the story. Unlike Sesame Street, however, Avenue Q contains many adult themes, including racism, pornography, and homosexuality.

The action follows the main character, Princeton, a recent college grad who has just moved to New York City and struggles to find friendship, employment, and a purpose in life. Not able to afford to live anywhere else, Princeton takes an apartment on a fictional street called Avenue Q. There, he meets an assortment of monster and human characters, including Kate Monster, a kindergarten assistant; Nicky and Rod, Bert and Ernie-like roommates; Brian, an out of work comedian who is engaged to Christmas Eve, a therapist with only one client; and Gary Coleman, the building superintendent; among others.

The first Avenue Q North American tour began in San Diego in June of 2007, and is scheduled to run through 2008 with many stops along the way. Due to the show's popularity, tickets for Avenue Q will surely be hard to find.
