Avenue Q Celebrates Fifth Birthday

A celebration is in order for one of Broadway’s most hilarious and popular productions.  Avenue Q, the puppet production is celebrating its fifth anniversary on Broadway today.  Present and past performers will be filling the theater as the puppet friendly musical hits a milestone mark with five years on Broadway.  Recently the popular musical also reached another milestone when it played its 2,000th performance on June 3.  After tonight’s performance there will be a brief, onstage ceremony including a special furry, Q cake.

Avenue Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and also a book by Jeff Whitty.  After an acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the Vineyard Theater, Avenue Q began previews at the Golden Theatre on July 10, 2003.  Since then it has won the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score.  Be sure to get your own pair of Avenue Q tickets.
