Synopsis
Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, AVENUE Q is a laugh-out loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
