Avenue Q, “the Broadway musical for adults”, is now playing in Vancouver.
The Sesame Street-esque puppets and their human friends will be at Granville Island Stage until 3 January 2015
Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life. The only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where puppets rub shoulders with humans.

Originally conceived as a television series, Avenue Q transferred to Broadway in July 2003 where it won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, won the 2003 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding New Musical, and received a nomination for the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical award. With 2,534 performances, Avenue Q ranks 23rd on the list of longest running shows in Broadway history.
