There are certainly many strange and unusual musicals appearing regularly on stages in New York City and across the country. Avenue Q does not shy away from being something different and unique. Rather, it proudly owns every bit of its wonderful uniqueness and accompanying hilarity. From songs about internet porn to full-frontal puppet nudity, this is a musical that constantly surprises, bringing undeniable laughs along the way. And it's hard to imagine that any theater could create as perfect a production of Avenue Q as the one currently running at Ocean State Theatre Company.

Variety reports exclusively that director Alex Timbers has exited the highly anticipated Broadway adaptation of Disney's FROZEN.

Avenue Q is still kicking on and inciting riotous laughs from every audience member who stops by the little New York street that could.
