“Avenue Q is the laugh-out-loud musical you have to see!”
Experience what life is like when you live on Avenue Q, the place you live in New York City when you can’t afford anywhere else. Don’t miss this side-splitting off-Broadway show voted ‘Best Musical’ and ‘Best Score’, where people and puppets face the everyday struggles of life together in hilarious fashion.
Our guide to Avenue Q– Off Broadway
This hilarious off-Broadway show explores what it’s really like to grow up. The award-winning Avenue Q follows starry-eyed college grad Princeton all the way to the Big Apple on a journey to chase his dreams. While he may have high hopes, his new home on ‘Avenue Q’ quickly brings him back to reality. Packed with profanities, amusing songs and witty gags, this laugh-out-loud production is one of the funniest New York theatre shows of all.
Despite the use of innocent looking puppets, this is definitely not one for the kids. The zany characters are anything but ordinary and will have you roaring with laughter right from the start. Part flesh and part felt, the animated cast will make you feel as though you’re watching an uncensored, on-stage version of a kids’ TV show.
Proud owner of the “Triple Crown” honour, Avenue Q received 3 fully deserved Tony awards for ‘Best Musical’, ‘Best Score’ and ‘Best Book’. With music and lyrics by the esteemed Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez (known for his work on The Book of Mormon and Disney’s Frozen) the collection of catchy satirical tunes like ‘It Sucks to be Me’ and ‘The Money Song’ will keep you entertained throughout. If you’re looking for something fun, fresh and totally unique, Avenue Q is a must-see.
Show summary:
When college grad Princeton decides to move to New York City he has big dreams and high expectations, but his tiny bank account means there’s only one place he can afford to live- Avenue Q. The shabby apartment is disappointing, but at least his neighbours seem okay. It’s not long before he gets to know them and realises they’re all as wacky as each other. Meet Kate- a sweet kindergarten teaching assistant, Brian- a jobless comedian, Christmas Eve- Brian’s therapist fiancée, Nicky- a layabout with a good heart, Rod- an investment banker with a big secret and Trekkie Monster- a serious internet addict. This fantastic musical comedy shows the struggles of being down on your luck and trying to find your real purpose in life, in the most amusing way.
