AVENUE Q

TONY^® AWARD WINNER FOR BEST MUSICAL

Makes MIAMI Debut AT THE ARSHT CENTER

PRESENTED BY THE ARSHT CENTER

Stanford BROADWAY ACROSS AMERICA - MIAMI

AND FLORIDA THEATRICAL ASSOCIATION

TICKETS ON SALE NOW !!!

AVENUE Q is the hit Broadway musical about real life in New York City, as told by a cast of people and puppets through a hilariously irreverent, Tony^® Award-winning book and score. The three-time Tony^® Award winner, including Best Musical, will make its Miami debut at The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County May 13 - 18, 2008. The Miami engagement of AVENUE Q is a co-presentation of The Arsht Center and Stanford Broadway Across America - Miami presented by Moet Chandon.

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!" 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, musical supervision 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 ACME Sound Partners.

Due to adult situations (like full-puppet nudity,) AVENUE Q may be inappropriate for kids under 13.
