UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre presents Avenue Q
Music & Lyrics by Robert Lopez & Jeff Marx, Book by Jeff Whitty,
directed by Rob Gretta,
featuring UA, BFA 2001 Musical Theatre alum, Michelle Lane, as director of puppetry
This madcap, Sesame Street-like satire about young adulthood revolves around a college graduate named Princeton, who moves into his first apartment – the only one he can afford – on Avenue Q. As they navigate friendship, love and work, Princeton and his motley neighbors try to find their purpose in life. No subject is taboo in this comedy, where jokes range from racism to sexuality, but this “Triple Crown,” Tony Award-winning musical, featuring actors with puppets, isn’t just risqué. It also makes us recognize that all is fleeting and we must endure life’s pains and appreciate its joys. (Adult themes and profanity.)
*BONUS: See UA alum Michelle Lane on The Morning Blend Tuesday, October 2nd, on KGUN-9 from 11am to noon with cast lead, Michael Calvoni (Princeton) & their puppets! Michelle was part of the original Las Vegas cast of Avenue Q that also played on Broadway. See Michelle & Michael again on Arizona Public Media’s Arizona Illustrated with Mark McLemore this month, too!
