Avenue Q January 18, 2008

Believe it or not, the first Tony Award-winning Broadway show ever to boast "full puppet nudity" is coming to Kalamazoo. The theatre has been chosen as the first community theatre in the country to pilot this exciting new work and will be working with the creators to help produce a "community theatre" production, which will be licensed to other theatres. So, brace yourself! It's a little bit naughty and a whole lot of fun, kind of like Sesame Street meets South Park. Life may suck on 'Avenue Q,' but for a bright-eyed college graduate named Princeton, this is his new neighborhood. A tiny bank balance and a bunch of weird and wonderful friends and neighbors lead Princeton on a hilarious journey of self-discovery. They may look familiar but these puppets and their human counterparts have an irreverent take on life in the big city. If you're looking for a refreshing dose of political incorrectness, you'll want to be first in the queue for 'Avenue Q.'
