Avenue Q is a laugh-out loud musical that tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who arrives in New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He moves into a shabby apartment all the way out on Avenue Q, a neighborhood full of mischievous and raunchy puppets, as well as other colorful characters. A six-person orchestra and nine performers bring to life this naughty and hilarious take on Sesame Street.
Recommended for ages 16+ with parental advisement due to adult language and themes.
Run Time: 2:15, plus one intermission
