Avenue Q is set in NYC on a street which is described as the only place you can afford to live when you're just out of college, out of a job, or just plain broke. The musical features a cast of 20-something live actors and singing puppets. Jason Moore directs this new musical for grown-ups written by Jeff Whitty, with music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. Avenue Q is a co-production by the Vineyard Theatre and The New Group, and is also the recipient of Tony Awards for Best Original Score (music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx), Best Book of a Musical (Jeff Whitty), and the 2003 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical for its Off-Broadway run.

Review: you wouldn't think puppets could ...bymorsesline
do that, and even though you may be a little horrified that they did, you enjoyed every moment of it. This isnt Sesame Street, these puppets sound remarkably like Generation Xers struggling with love, careers, and most every other aspect of life. Its nice to have puppets on stage again, especially when they have a mind of their own.
Ones have coined this show as "Sesame Street on Crack" and its the best crack youll ever taste! Somehow, expressing the uncertainess and hard times we face on a day to day basis with song and puppets, makes the sadness go away. I suppose were all hit with a bit of schadenfreude on the way out. The puppets are worse off than us, and that makes us feel great! Recommendation: See it! Its worth the cost, especially if youre unemployed and 33!
