For over thirteen years, the Tony-winning hit Avenue Q has been reminding ticket-buyers that even though the hilarious musical features adorably furry puppet characters inspired by the family-friendly Jim Henson collection, it ain't for kids.

That fact becomes abundantly clear with the introduction of a sexy puppet chanteuse unsubtly named "Lucy The Slut."

And while Lucy's provocative attire leaves little to the imagination, there's been at least a whisper of discretion in her depictions in the show's advertisements.

Until now.

As reported by the New York Post, a printing error in the show's ad in the New York City Pocket and Travel Guides omitted strategically-placed copy, resulting in a shocking image of puppet exposure.

But don't worry. This is New York City, where women are legally allowed to be topless in public.

AVENUE Q is the hilarious and internationally-acclaimed musical about a group of 20-somethings -- people and puppets alike -- who move to New York with big dreams and tiny bank accounts. Together they live as neighbors on a street in New York as they try to discover their purpose in life. The musical's characters include Princeton, Kate Monster, Trekkie Monster, Lucy, Nicky, Rod, Gary Coleman, Brian and Christmas Eve.
