Avenue Q at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 26-May 19

Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
Avenue Q
music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
book by Jeff Whitty
directed by Michael Hartsfield
music directed by Mimi McGinniss
produced by Maureen Rogers

April 26 – May 19, 2024
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays (May 12 and 19) at 2pm.

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

A winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical 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. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good, and life lessons are learned. ~ MTI

Avenue Q contains adult content and language and is not recommended for children.

Ticket prices are as follows:
Adults: $23, Children 18 and under, Seniors 65 and over, and active duty military: $18
