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.

Red Branch Theatre Company (RBTC) continues its 2015 season entitled Coming of Age with the TONY Award-winning musical comedy with puppets, Avenue Q: School Edition. Casting has just been completed for the inaugural summer musical at Howard County's newest professional theatre.

A smash hit on Broadway, in the West End and most recently in a critically-acclaimed 2014 UK Tour, award-winning comedy musical Avenue Q is now back on the road and bringing a host of fuzzy friends to theatres across the country.

Spoiler Alert! If you attend Avenue Q, you will find yourself at one of the most creative productions of the theatrical season. Avenue Q opened on Friday April 17 at the Barn Players in Mission, Kansas. Based on the original concept of Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Avenue Q is a musical in two acts. Music and lyrics are by Lopez and Marx with the book by Jeff Whitty.

Coronado Playhouse presents the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Avenue Q from January 23-February 28, 2015, benefitting San Diego Humane Society and PAWS of Coronado.

I've seen three productions of Avenue Q in my life, all of them ranging from the Broadway national tour to a local community theater performance, to Sunday's matinee performed by the Austin Theatre Project. Bottom line: Avenue Q smart, funny, and relatable show. It's crude, sometimes a bit cringe-worthy, but simultaneously downright hilarious. Throw in an equally humorous and catchy soundtrack, and it's no wonder the show won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical (beating Wicked, mind you).

Winner of the TONY 'Triple Crown' for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
