Breaking News: Musicals Tonight! presents Avenue Q Unplugged
By: Michael Dale Apr. 30, 2004
Musicals Tonight! will throw an early housewarming party at their new home on West 45th Street with the help of one of Broadway's biggest hits. Avenue Q Unplugged will present cast members of this season's puppet powered satire performing in a "hands free" environment; as themselves, without their colorful alter-egos.
"The puppets get so much attention we thought we'd put on a show that puts the puppeteers more in the spotlight", says Musicals Tonight!'s producer Mel Miller, "and shows they can be great musical performers by themselves."
Although casting has not been confirmed for the one-night-only, June 14th performance, fans can expect to hear songs from each performer's repertoire plus selections from the Robert Lopez/Jeff Marx score that normally feature their hand-held partners. More details are expected next week when tickets become available.
This event will be the first for Musicals Tonight! at the 45th Street Theatre, where they will set up shop after this season's final performances at the 14th Street Y.
