About the Show

Broadway's 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical continues its hilarious, puppet-filled run Off-Broadway at New World Stages.

This grown-up musical comedy stars a cast of humans and puppets, and tells the timeless story of a bright-eyed college grad named Princeton. When he arrives in the city with big dreams and a tiny bank account, he has to move into a shabby apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There he meets Kate (the girl next door), Lucy (the slut), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the pervert), superintendent Gary Coleman (yes, that Gary Coleman) and other new friends. Together, they struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Entertaining, Quirky, Fun

See it if You missed it on Broadway the 1st time around, like mixing silly with subversive Sesame Street style characters. Fun, but just pretty okay.

Don't see it if Puppets, puppet sex, sex talk, bad language, poking fun at racism aren't your thing. If being off-color isn't entertaining at all to you.

Don't see it if If nude puppets and raunchy humor disturb you

Clever, Ambitious, Funny, Edgy, Hilarious

Don't see it if You are sensitive to language or sexuality.

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Often outrageous

Clever, Original, Didn't go far enough
