AVENUE Q

The season opens when "Sesame Street meets South Park" in the Tony Award Best Musical of the Year, smash-hit, Avenue Q. This delightful parody that dares to ask the question, "What do you do with a B.A. in English?" is on stage January 13 - February 4 at Unity (1490 Southwood Drive in San Luis Obispo). Avenue Q garnered three Tony Awards in 2004 for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book of a Musical. This funny and irreverent show conveys life's tough lessons through the trials and tribulations of Princeton, a bright eyed college graduate, who is anxious to discover his purpose in life; but first, he must find an apartment and a job, with no work experience -- just like the other characters living on Avenue Q! Join Princeton along with the other puppets: Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet sexpert), Lucy the slut (need we say more?) for this toe-tapping, hilarious and often moving musical that the New York Times declared to be "a breakthrough musical of a very different stripesavvy, sassy and delicious!"

Avenue Q is presented as part of Kelrik's After Dark series. Due to the show's adult subject matter it is required that audience members under the age of 17 bring a parent or guardian with them to the performance.

Avenue Q has long been the darling of both Broadway and off-Broadway theatres, selling out to delighted audiences consistently since its inception. The irreverent take on the joys and travails of making it on your own strike a chord with audiences young and old alike. Don't miss this hilarious show that will have your sides splitting and your heads pondering your own "purpose" in life.
