AVENUE Q is the smash-hit Broadway musical about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent, Tony-winning book and score. The three-time Tony® Award winning musical will make its Dayton, debut at the Victoria Theatre for one night only on Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Tickets go on sale Monday, November 8, 2010.
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!Tickets start at $46, and can be purchased beginning Monday, November 8 via phone at 967/228-3630 or 888/228-3630; online at www.ticketcenterstage.com at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office, located in the Wintergarden of the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center in downtown Dayton.The New York Times hailed AVENUE Q as "a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe.
