okay kids.....this is one of the most amazingest shows ever.
AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod -- a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

best of all, it's with puppets.
not all of them are puppets, just most of them are. but its cool cos the people holding them are on stage too, doing the same things and having the same facial expressions and stuff as the puppets.
the songs are amazing, it won the best music/lyrics tony, not to mention the best musical tony.
also, John Tartaglia is in it, and hes really hot, which cant hurt.
but just because its with puppets doesnt mean its for the young'ns. its probably the only broadway musical soundtrack with a parental advisory. think of it as R-rated Sesame Street.
its amazing. check it out.
