AVENUE Q The Broadway Musical
Knight Theater Charlotte
Tuesday April 05, 2011 thru Sunday April 10, 2011
AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed
college grad who comes to New York City with
big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon
discovers that the only neighborhood in his price
range is AVENUE Q; still, the neighbors seem
nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian
and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky
the good-hearted slacker and his roommate
Rod -- a Republican investment banker who
seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet
addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute
kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate.
And would you believe the building's
superintendent is Gary Coleman?!?
(Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton
and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
AVENUE Q is Broadway's smash-hit 2004 Tony® Award winner for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK. A hilarious show full of heart and hummable tunes, AVENUE Q is about trying to make it in NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. Called "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see" by Entertainment Weekly, AVENUE Q features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in a smart, risqué and downright entertaining way. The New Yorker calls it "SUBVERSIVE and UPROARIOUS!"
