Tony Award-winner for best musical, best score and best book in 2004, Ahmanson Theatre's 41st season opener “Avenue Q” is an irreverent musical that should appeal to kids of all ages.
When the optimistic but financially challenged Princeton comes to New York with big dreams, the only neighborhood he can afford is “Avenue Q,” where the neighbors include kindergarten teaching assistant Kate Monster, Nicky and his Asian fiancee Christmas Eve, as well as Internet addict Trekkie Monster. Together, they embark on the Generation X-ers' struggle to find jobs, dates and the elusive purpose of life. For ticket information visit www.centertheatregroup.org.
