Sesame Street Meets South Park: UNCENSORED
Winner, Tony Award “Best Musical”
See what all the fuzz is about! Closing out The Rep’s season is Avenue Q, one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history and Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. “We’ve had so many requests for this musical and finally, after years of trying, we have the rights to produce Avenue Q on our stage,” says Bob Hupp, Producing Artistic Director at The Rep. “It’s truly one of the funniest musicals I’ve ever seen.”
“...a savvy, sassy and eminently likable...breakthrough musical”– The New York Times
More South Park than Sesame Street (and NOT appropriate for children), Avenue Q is an adult, laugh-out-loud puppet musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the Internet sexpert), Lucy the Slut (need we say more?) and other colorful types who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life.
“...an ingenious combination of ‘The Real World’ and ‘Sesame Street’”– The New Yorker
Part flesh, part felt and all heart, Avenue Q was co-created by Robert Lopez, who also co-created the recent Broadway hit The Book of Mormon with Comedy Central’s “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Lopez received Tony Awards for both Avenue Q and The Book of Morman. Named “Best on Broadway” in 2003, critics universally called Avenue Q “the most fun onstage this year!”
