AVENUE Q
ABSOLUTELY NOT MEANT FOR CHILDREN
Puppets. Adult problems. Zero filter. Winner of the Tony® Award “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is a wildly funny, puppet-filled comedy about growing up. When fresh-out-of-college Princeton moves to a shabby New York neighborhood, he meets quirky neighbors—both human and puppet—who are all trying to figure out life. With outrageous humor, catchy songs, and plenty of heart, Avenue Q shows that adulthood may be messy, but it’s a lot more fun with friends by your side.
