About The Show

Join the irreverent denizens of Avenue Q- part flesh, part plushy, people, puppets, and all. Hilarious, charming, and a little profane, AVENUE Q will turn your expectation of acceptable discourse on its head. Follow our hero Princeton, fresh out of college, to his shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q which, it soon becomes clear, is not your ordinary neighborhood. Laugh out loud funny, toe-tappingly singable, and full of warmth and humor, AVENUE Q won the Tony for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, and now it’s going to win your heart.

Show Run Dates: March 9, 2023 To April 2, 2023
Total Running Time: Two hours (including the fifteen minute intermission)
