Winner of 2003 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart.

The musical 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.
