‘Avenue Q’ to Open Off Broadway in October

The hilarious Broadway musical Avenue Q has been an absolute crowd-pleaser ever since its arrival at Broadway’s John Golden Theatre earlier this year, and despite its closing last night at the John Golden, Avenue Q will still be present on the New York City theater scene soon, as the production will move down the street to New World Stages starting October 9. The colorful puppets and adult humor that Avenue Q is so well known for will not disappear from the Broadway scene, and of its upcoming endeavor producer Kevin McCollum said, “Avenue Q is about all of us, so why should it close? People arrive in New York every day hoping to make their dreams come true, so as long as they’re here, we’re here! It’s just one of the funniest, wittiest and wisest musicals ever written and the more you see it, the more you love it.”

Avenue Q has been on Broadway for more than six years and has played more than 2,500 performances, currently sitting as the 20th longest-running show in Broadway history. Quirky and comical tunes like “The Internet is for Porn,” “It Sucks to be Me” and “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” have made Avenue Q one of the most popular Broadway shows on the scene, and it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
