The Residents of Avenue Q Are Moving Onto Barter Stage II There’s a fine, fine line between the puppets we all grew up watching and the puppets that live on Avenue Q; These puppets are adults. Avenue Q, the outrageously funny and furry musical that took Broadway by storm, begins at Barter Theatre on June 8. With music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and Book by Jeff Whitty, Avenue Q took home top honors in 2004 with the Tony Triple Crown: best musical, best score and best book; it was even up against the successful Broadway show Wicked.more >
Show Reviews
I just saw 'Avenue Q.'. I thoroughly enjoyed this adult version of 'Sesame Street.'. It is very funny and clever. Naughty was never so nice.more > — Dr. Shari Stacy via Facebook
FANTASTIC SHOW! I saw it for the second time last night. I recently lost my mother on Monday and knew that seeing this show would really raise my spirits! I can personally connect to the song "For Now" because regardless of how good or bad things are going, it's just for now.more > — Kenny M. Davis via Facebook.com/bartertheatre
A wonderful, long time friend purchased tickets for my daughter [ADULT] & I to attend today's showing of Avenue Q. I hadn't been to the theatre in years & was really looking forward to it.more > — Pam Lunsford Jackson via Facebook.com/BarterTheatre
Avenue Q
Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx; Book by Jeff Whitty; Based on an Original Concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
Winner of the TONY "TRIPLE CROWN" for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK Avenue Q is a laugh-out-loud musical that follows the trials and tribulations of recent grad, Princeton, as he tries to find his place in the world. Princeton moves into a shabby apartment all the way down on Avenue Q. There he meets a colorful cast of characters ranging from an exotic dancer and an Internet addict to the beautiful girl-next-door, all who help him find himself and his true calling in life. Did we mention there are puppets and the landlord just happens to be Gary Coleman? You'll laugh and laugh and laugh some more! (Warning: This play may contain puppet nudity.) Tickets starting at $31. Not recommeded for those 17 and under.
