Winner of the Tony Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. This Muppets-meet-South Park-via-Broadway show is a laugh-out-loud, adults-only, Sesame Street parody – and definitely not for the kids. It tells the timeless tale of new college graduate Princeton, with his BA in English, who’s done with university and ready to take on the world. He moves into a shabby New York apartment in the only neighbourhood he can afford: way out on Avenue Q. There, Princeton meets Kate Monster (the girl next door), Rod and Nicky (housemates bearing an uncanny resemblance to Bert and Ernie), Trekkie Monster (a reclusive Internet sexpert), and other colourful neighbours. Together, they cope with their everyday struggles and help Princeton on his voyage to discover his purpose in life.
