The plot of the play rings true with so many people who have relocated to the Big Apple, hoping to strike it big — Big Dreams, Little Money.  A naive college graduate comes to town, but can only afford to live in Avenue Q.  The neighbors are nice, if a little eclectic, and you can follow their adventures through work, love, and a search for a purpose in life. 

  The stories are told through a cast of people and puppets that can be, at times, a bit risque.  Although the puppets bear a strong resemblance to the Muppets, there is no relationship between Avenue Q and The Jim Henson Company or Sesame Workshop.

Chances are that you’ll be leaving the theater humming a few of the catchy tunes!
