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.

Clever, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if You are a fan of Sesame Street- adult style! If you enjoy clever lyrics, and wonderful performances....and puppets!

Don't see it if You don't enjoy double entendre, goofy musicals, if you don't know who Gary Coleman is and if you don't have a sense of humor!

See it if You grew up with Sesame Street, like clever humor about adulthood, and are down for some smart, adult comedy

Don't see it if You don't like Muppet-style puppets or aren't an adult, or if you don't like edgy, smart, at times vulgar humor

See it if You want to laugh and cry and the same time. If you find it easier to relate to the message through puppets. A feel-good show.

Don't see it if You have a stick up your butt.

Original, Must see, Raunchy, Hilarious, Great writing

See it if You like innovative theater. Avenue Q rocks. One of the best shows I've ever seen. I loved it and would gladly see it again.

Don't see it if You're under the age of 16 or so due to profanity and sexual content

See it if You love puppets - LOL. The show is original, funny and engaging, I downloaded the soundtrack as soon as I got home and listen to it often.

Don't see it if You are easy to offend.
