Victoria Theatre Association's one-night-only presentation of Avenue Q at the Victoria Theatre on Wednesday, March 30 is almost sold out.

"Due to the tour's scheduling constraints we were unable to secure a second performance," comments Ken Neufeld, President & CEO of Victoria Theatre Association. "The demand for tickets has been great - and gratifying! We'll be looking to bring the tour back for another performance as soon as we can."

As of Friday, March 11, there are less than 100 seats left, according to Lisa Wagner, Ticket Center Director. Most of the remaining seats are located in the theatre's balcony. Prices of tickets are $65, $80, and $90. A number of Orchestra seats have been released for $90 each.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 967/228-3630 or 888/228-3630; online at www.ticketcenterstage.com, or at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office, located in the Wintergarden of the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center in downtown Dayton.

The three-time Tony® Award winning musical is Broadway's smash-hit about real life in New York City told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent, Tony-winning 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!"

AVENUE Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff Whitty, based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx; and is directed by Jason Moore; puppet design by Rick Lyon, orchestrations by Stephen Oremus, choreography by Ken Roberson, scenic design by Anna Louizos, costume design by Mirena Rada, lighting design by Howell Binkley, and sound design by Lew Mead; associate director is Evan Ensign and music supervisor is Andrew Graham.

AVENUE Q is produced by Work Light Productions.
