Avenue Q

Avenue Q
A puppet-filled comedy follows a group of twenty-somethings seeking their purpose in big-city life.

Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart.

The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children's show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned.

Can I perform an Avenue Q song in competition for Thespian Districts? (And hopefully state.)

I'm planning on performing "Purpose" this year at Districts, and hopefully either "I Wish I Could Go Back To College" or "For Now" next year. Can I perform them?

Avenue Q Licensing Question
I heard a rumor that MTI required performance groups doing Avenue Q to either rent their puppets or build according to the original design specifications, but I couldn't find a comfirmation of this on the show page. So, how about it -- are original puppet designs legal? I should note that this is in reference to a college production.

I cannot wait to bring this show to my theater, but am looking for options ( beyond socks) for puppets. What are people doing for puppets and where are you getting them?
