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.

Starting out with the idea of a TV show, and ending up with three Tony Awards and multiple national companies,  composer/lyricists Bobby Lopez and Jeff Marx have created a smart, risqué and endearing musical for the child in all of us.
