Victoria books ‘Avenue Q’
The Victoria Theatre Association has announced plans to present a single performance of the sassy musical “Avenue Q” on March 30, 2011.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, Nov. 8, for the local premiere of a show that conquered “Wicked” to take the Tony Award for best musical in 2004.
Performed by people and puppets, the show by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx tells the story of a college grad who moves to New York City with dreams, but no money. The only place he can afford is on distant Avenue Q, where everyone hopes for a good job, stable relationship and some purpose in life.
Songs include: “It Sucks to Be Me,” “If You Were Gay,” “The Internet Is for Porn” and “I’m Not Wearing Underwear Today.”
Although a show with puppets, “Avenue Q” may not be appropriate for children under 13.

Tickets will start at $46 at Ticket Center Stage. Call (937) 228-3630 or www.ticketcenterstage.com.

And pray tell, what does the “Q” stand for?

He couldn’t afford anything on Avenue A or B, so he had to go all the way to Avenue Q to get to his price range. It’s actually a really good show, just not for kids in any way.

Agree with Steve. Excellent show, not at all appropriate for kids.

Great fun show. I loved it!! Those of you worried about content should go spend a day at a typical middle or high school. What you see/hear there can be far more graphic than anything in this show. I certainly wouldn’t take an elementary age student, but my daughter & I enjoyed it last year at the Aronoff. She was in 8th grade at the time. But that decision is up to the parents. You know your child best.
