Palm Springs’ newest, professional theater company, REVOLUTION STAGE COMPANY (RSC), presents the Tony Award-winning smash hit musical, AVENUE Q! A smash hit on Broadway, Off-Broadway and in the West End, the RSC will bring the popular ADULT musical comedy to its stage in January, 2024!
Immerse yourself in the uproarious world of Avenue Q, where the cheekiest puppets in town, skillfully brought to life by the Coachella Valley's top musical theater performers, under the direction of James Owens, take center stage. This Tony Award-winning musical is a delightful journey through the challenges of growing up, the pursuit of grand dreams, and the quest to discover life's true purpose.
Meet Princeton, the optimistic graduate with big aspirations and a minuscule bank account, venturing into the bustling landscape of New York City. Forced by budget constraints, he sets up residence on Avenue Q, a quirky neighborhood inhabited by a cast of eccentric characters. From Brian, the unemployed comedian, and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve, to Nicky, the benevolent slacker, and his closeted gay Republican roommate Rod, the residents of Avenue Q are a charmingly odd bunch. Throw in an Internet 'sexpert' named Trekkie Monster and the adorable kindergarten teacher Kate Monster with a building supervisor, none other than Gary Coleman from TV’s Different Strokes.
Avenue Q is a sidesplitting musical balancing humor with heart, featuring uproarious songs like ‘The Internet is for Porn’ and ‘Everyone's A Little Bit Racist.’ This production first graced Off-Broadway’s Vineyard Theatre in 2003 before making a triumphant move to Broadway later that year, securing three Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. Its success continued with a five-year run in London's West End in 2006, delighting audiences in over ten countries worldwide.
Avenue Q has music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, along with a book by Jeff Witty. Don’t miss the chance to experience the infectious energy and wit of Avenue Q on the Revolution Stage—an unforgettable musical extravaganza that combines laughter, warmth and a touch of puppetry magic.
Avenue Q is presented as part of RSC’s inaugural season. Founded in 2023, RSC’s mission is to produce high-quality, and affordable entertainment, that elevates theatre production standards and builds audiences who appreciate live theatre across Coachella Valley. We want to provide a venue that offers audiences exceptional live entertainment and a place for performers to present their best work.
