Since its Off-Broadway debut in 2003 (and subsequent Tony Award win for Best Musical in 2004), Avenue Q has maintained a cult-like following. The show—a coming-of-age parable using a mix of puppets and human actors—is famous for its irreverent humor, shocking language, and surprisingly heartfelt lessons about life in your 20s.
