Winner of the Tony® Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is the outrageously funny, big-hearted hit that proves growing up is way messier – and more hilarious than anyone warned us. On a scrappy little block in New York City, fresh-faced Princeton arrives with a diploma, big dreams, and absolutely no clue what comes next.

Packed with catchy songs, razor-sharp humor, and puppet antics that are definitely not for little kids, Avenue Q delivers a colorful, R-rated reminder that life may not be simple, but it’s wildly entertaining.
