Exclusive: CELEBRATE AVENUE Q'S MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY WITH THIS HISTORICAL TIMELINE
There will also be a special added performance of the show July 31 to coincide with the anniversary of Avenue Q opening on Broadway in 2003. The musical comedy ran for seven years at Broadway's John Golden Theatre before transferring to Off-Broadway's New World Stages, where it continues to play. The musical had also originated Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre.
An Avenue Q reunion concert at Feinstein's/54 Below is scheduled for July 30, featuring the show's creators and cast members from Broadway and beyond.
The Tony-winning musical Avenue Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, a book by Jeff Whitty, and direction by Jason Moore. Set on a street block in New York City, the story follows a group of humans and puppets learning how to live and love in the Big Apple.
