ANN ARBOR, MICH. – Theatre Council Productions of Chicago is proud to present the smash-hit Broadway musical AVENUE Q in its Ann Arbor debut for one night only, Monday, April 5 at 7:30 pm at the Michigan Theater.
Winner of three Tony Awards, AVENUE Q is about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent book and score.
AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone's looking for the same things he is: a decent job, a stable relationship, and a "purpose." Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that "the real world" isn't so bad, after all!
The New York Times hailed AVENUE Q as "a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe. Savvy, sassy and delicious!" and Entertainment Weekly claimed it was "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see!"
Due to adult situations (like full-puppet nudity), AVENUE Q may be inappropriate for kids under 13.
Reserved seats are $25-$65 and go on sale Friday, January 15 at ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Michigan Union Ticket Office and Macy’s stores. Charge tickets by phone at 800-745-3000.
