Avenue Q Broadway Show Tickets

Before the musical Avenue Q moved to Broadway at the John Golden Theater, it hit big time at the Off-Broadway theater the Vineyard Theater, in March 2003. It opened at this Off-Broadway theater to rave reviews, and it was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical Award in 2003. When it moved to Broadway, it previewed at the Shubert owned John Golden Theater on July 10, 2003. It opened on July 31, 2003, after a total of 22 previews.

This most audacious of all musicals on Broadway opened to rave reviews. It has been accepted by both, the adults and the mature teenagers alike, and has been extended four times. Avenue Q touches the real life issues, such as sex, drinking, and surfing the web for porn. It has adult oriented content, and has full puppet nudity. It also shows simulated sex between puppets. It is a musical for adults, as it has mature language.

As of December 31, 2006, Avenue Q has performed 1,428 times on the stage of Broadway, and audiences are still clamoring for more. It was nominated for Tony Awards, and out of six nominations, it won three Tony Awards for:

The Story
Avenue Q is a story about adult-sized issues, about repressed sexuality, unemployment, racism and depression. This Jason Moore directed and Ken Roberson choreographed musical, based in an imaginary neighborhood, touchingly portrays trivial aspects of everyday life, humorously.

It is a story about Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate with big dreams and a very meager bank account. Avenue Q happens to be the only imaginary New York neighborhood he can afford. It is a story about an out-of-work comedian, and his therapist fiance Brian and Christmas Eve. It is about a good-hearted slacker and his investment banker roommate Nicky and Rod. It is a story of an Internet addict, Trekkie Monster, and also about a kindergarten assistant Kate. And to top it all, the building superintendent is Gary Coleman. Remember him Bet you do!
