Avenue Q Makes Its Rockford Debut
by Press Release
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 Award® - winning book and score. The three-time Tony Award® -winning musical will make its Rockford debut at the Coronado Performing Arts Center on Monday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. for one performance only. Tickets, starting at $31.50, are on sale now and can be purchased at the Coronado box office, online at www.coronadopac.org or charge by phone at 815-968-0595. Discounts are available for subscribers and groups of 20 or more.
Due to adult situations (like full-puppet nudity), AVENUE Q may be inappropriate for kids under 13. For more information on AVENUE Q visit www.avenueq.com.
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, 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.
Jam Theatricals (www.jamtheatricals.com) is proud to present AVENUE Q as part of the Savant Presents Broadway at the Coronado 2009-10 Season, sponsored by WREX-TV, The Rockford Register Star and B103-FM.
