Summary

An exclusive first look behind the scenes of the popular Broadway musical.

With its cast of furry puppets, its shockingly politically incorrect lyrics, and its hilarious upending of children’s television,Avenue Q took Broadway by storm. The New York Times declared it "a breakthrough musical," and after a two-year run, the Golden Theater is still selling out eight shows a week. Its success is not limited to the Great White Way, however: This summer, the cast will be swearing, drinking, and ennui-ing their way across the country.

As smart, risqué, and downright entertaining as the show itself, Avenue Q is a must-have companion book. In addition to the complete Tony Award–winning book and songs (perfect for those who can’t get enough of the lyrics to "It Sucks to Be Me"), Avenue Q is packed with exclusive interviews with the cast and creatures, and features puzzles, connect-the-dots, and other "educational" activities to prepare readers for life after college. With a distinctive cover and chock-full of gorgeous photography and original illustrations, Avenue Q is a jam-packed thrill ride of a book.
