Synopsis
Avenue Q is a coming-of-age musical that follows Princeton, a recent college graduate, as he moves into a shabby New York apartment on Avenue Q. Struggling to find his purpose in life, Princeton befriends his quirky neighbors, including Kate Monster, an aspiring teacher; Rod, a closeted Republican banker; Nicky, Rod's slacker roommate; Trekkie Monster, an internet-addicted recluse; and others.
