Manchmal kann man die Qualitat einer Wohnlage am Alphabet ablesen: In New York etwa lebt es sich recht gut auf der Avenue A. Von B uber C bis zur Avenue D wird es jedoch immer schmuddeliger. Dann kommt das Ufer des East River, und Manhattan ist zuende. Ware das nicht so, konnte man sich ausrechnen, wer wohl in den Straßen lebte, die die hinteren Buchstaben des Alphabets tragen, in der Avenue Q zum Beispiel. Die fiktive Adresse liefert zugleich den Schauplatz und den Titel des diesjahrigen Musicals im theaterhagen. Sie ist ein Ort fur Menschen, die ihre großten Erfolge entweder lange hinter sich haben oder noch brennend - wenn auch im Moment leider vergeblich - darauf hoffen. Da es aber ja nicht immer die besten Eigenschaften sind, die mit Wohlstand belohnt werden, sind die Verlierer in der Avenue Q ein Gruppchen außerst liebenswerter Charaktere. Sie traumen davon, ein Star zu sein oder auch nur eine erfolgreiche Kindergartnerin, und vor allem traumen sie von der Liebe. Und die ist in der Avenue Q genauso schon und genauso kompliziert wie anderswo.
