HUNTINGTON — “Avenue Q” comes bursting onto the Keith-Albee’s stage at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3 presented by Chapman Printing Company, American Babbitt Bearing, The Law Office of Doug Reynolds, and Prichard Electric. 

Don’t miss this three-time Tony-Award-winning musical’s first ever appearance in West Virginia.  It’s people, it’s puppets, it’s complete pandemonium!  It’s Sesame Street for the grownups. Join them all on a journey through New York City’s burrows as its inhabitance try to find what we’re all looking for, our “Purpose”.

 “Avenue Q” is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is “Avenue Q.”
 Still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod —  a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?  (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

"One of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see!" –Entertainment Weekly Avenue Q promises to not disappoint.
