The "Win a One Night Stand on Avenue Q" contest is now in its last legs; fans have from February 1st through 28th to vote for one of three winners chosen. The final winner will be graced with the added experience
of making his or her Broadway debut in March and appearing on stage with the
cast of the Tony Award-winning musical.
"Avenue Qfans
can show their appreciation to puppet winners Miss Greta Green (by Joe
Kovacs of New York City), Kitty Swallows (by Theresa Cullen of
Glendale, California), and Maurice Tipo (by Andrew MacDonald-Smith of
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) by logging online at www.avenueq.com and helping to choose which of the three winners they think
should live a dream-come-true and appear on a Broadway stage at a
performance of Avenue Qin March," state press notes.
On
one weekend in early March (date TBA), the three winners will be flown
to New York on Jet Blue Airlines and will stay at the Renaissance New
York Hotel in Times Square. They will dine at a restaurant in the
theatre district, see a performance of Avenue Qand
meet the cast back stage after the show. At that time, it will be
announced which winner will receive the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to appear on a Broadway stage that same weekend!
The
show's "One Night Stand" contest kicked off last year by on the
musical's website by posing the question: "What if there was a 'one
night' vacancy on Avenue Q? Does your puppet have what it takes to join the famous cast of characters?"
Avenue Q
-- recipient of three 2004 Tony Awards, including Best Musical -- is a
musical about moving to New York with big dreams and a tiny bank
account. Now in its 3rd year on Broadway at the Golden Theatre (252 W.
45 St.), where it recently celebrated its 1000th performance, the show
is also playing a second production in September for an unlimited
engagement at Wynn Las Vegas (3131 Las Vegas Blvd. South).
