Get your tickets for Avenue Q, a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical about the uncertainties that young, urban college graduates face when they are forced to live without academic advisors, career counselors, dormitories, and meal plans. Inspired by Jim Henson's beloved children's television program, Sesame Street, the play features characters portrayed by Muppet-like puppets.
Though inappropriate for young children, Avenue Q draws a diverse audience. For those of us who find ourselves in circumstances similar to those of the characters, the play is a comforting reminder that, as told in the closing song, the compromises we make as we find our way in life are "Only for Now." Those members of the audience with a little more life experience can look back fondly on their first tentative steps toward establishing a direction in life. In "It Sucks to be Me," Brian sings, "What do you do with a BA in English?" The song explores the transition from his university environment, where students are encouraged to follow their passions and pursue their intellectual bents, to life on Avenue Q, where bills come due once a month and the job market cares little for the kinds of scholastic pursuits that earn one a BA in English. The characters' innocence and youthful idealism inspire optimism and reinforce the belief that, in the end, things will work out.
Of course, one expects a play starring puppets to be funny, and Avenue Q doesn't disappoint. Songs like "The Internet is for Porn" and "My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada" are hilarious. The plot centers around the evolving relationship between Kate Monster and Princeton, whose fumbling advances and retreats are presented in a lighthearted manner. Several scenes that revolve around the much-abused subject of the different perspectives that the sexes take on commitment and marriage actually avoid being trite, and the result is some genuine comedy that sets the audience hysterical with laughter.
Since July 2003, Avenue Q has been performed on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre on 45th Street in Manhattan, tickets were selling out. The cozy, 800-seat theatre is an ideal venue for this show. The audience enjoys an intimacy with the cast that may not be possible in a larger theater, and with a cast of only about a dozen and a simple set (the street-front of Avenue Q), the production fits the available space easily. Event Tickets, LLC can easily set up the discerning theater-goer or anyone who enjoys laughing along to cheerful music, lovable puppets, and a great story about a wonderfully trepidatious time in each of our lives-with a night on Broadway.
