The cast and crew of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Avenue Q will demonstrate their support of Breast Cancer Awareness month with special $50 tickets throughout October. The month will conclude with a special performance on October 30 at 8 p.m.

Five dollars from each ticket sold to Avenue Q with the discount code AQAWARE50 in October will be donated to the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. The initiative is led by the women of the Avenue Q company, including producer Robyn Goodman, who has herself been undergoing breast cancer treatment since the start of 2015.

The women of the Avenue Q company joining the effort include Kerri Brackin, Danielle K. Thomas, Elizabeth Ann Berg, Christine M. Daly, Imari Hardon, and Grace Choi.

Avenue Q, written by Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx, and Jeff Whitty, opened off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre on March 20, 2003, before moving to Broadway's John Golden Theatre, where it officially opened on July 31 of that year. The show went on to win three 2004 Tony Awards: Best Book, Best Score, and Best Musical. The Broadway production closed on September 13, 2009 and reopened off-Broadway at New World Stages on October 21, 2009.
