Avenue Q Music and Lyrics By Jeff Marx & Robert Lopez Book By Jeff Whitty SHOW DATES September 13, 20, 27 | October 4, 11, 18 @ 8pm September 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 29 @ 2pm September 14, 28 | October 5, 12, 19 @ 7pm October 6, 12, 13 @ 2pm Tickets: Winner of the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book! Part flesh, part felt and all heart, Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, a recent college grad. He and his friends struggle to find decent jobs, stable relationships and a purpose in life in a musical that is hilariously timeless – with hysterical songs such as “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist,” “The Internet Is for p*rn, “ and “It Sucks to Be Me.” “There’s no handy way to describe Avenue Q except as one of the funniest shows you’re ever likely to see.” (Entertainment Weekly) AUDIENCE ADVISORY: Avenue Q is Rated R due to adult language, situations, and puppet sex. That’s right, puppet sex. Avenue Q is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTISHows.com.
