Avenue Q
About the Show
A TONY® “Triple Crown” winner for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, “Avenue Q” presents a hilarious medley of colorful characters, outrageous songs and both human and stuffed talent. Despite an initial resemblance to a Jim Henson creation, the puppets of “Avenue Q” bring to life a more adult-appropriate storyline revolving around the experience of fresh-faced college graduate, Princeton, who moves to a dingy New York City apartment on Avenue Q.
Through the endearing exploits of characters, including the “Girl Next Door” Kate, “The Republican” Rod, and the Internet porn addict Trekkie, Princeton and his friends manage to humanize themes of young love, enduring friendship and the purpose of life.
With a cast of Westmoreland-area actors at the strings, these puppets present an irreverent commentary on a spectrum of hot-button social issues and bring audiences along for the uproarious ride. Produced by the same creative team that brought Broadway “The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q” beat out “Wicked” for the 2004 TONY award for Best Musical.
Avenue Q is presented by special arrangement with MTI, Music Theatre International.
