"THE MOST FUN ONSTAGE THIS YEAR!"
- The New Yorker

What is AVENUE Q about?

AVENUE Q  is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod -- a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Avenue Q opened off-broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in New York  in March 2003, where it gained rave reviews, and was extended four times!

It won the 2003 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding New Musical, as well as a nomination for the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical award.


It is still running in New York today and this will be the show's  Chicago debut. - a  limited engagement!


Even though puppets are involved, the show is not really meant for children.  It may not be appropriate for young children because AVENUE Q addresses issues like sex, drinking, and surfing the web for porn. It's hard to say what exact age is right to see AVENUE Q - parents should use their discretion based on the maturity level of their children, if you plan to bring them.  



Good tickets are still available for Chicago performances!
Priced  at  $25 - $75
