SYNOPSIS
The Tony Award–winning puppet musical that’s Sesame Street meets South Park is coming to Zurich!
Welcome to Avenue Q, the hilarious and heartfelt puppet-filled musical about life after college, searching for purpose, and figuring out how to “adult.” Set in a whimsical New York neighborhood, this irreverent comedy follows Princeton, a recent college graduate, as he navigates friendship, love, and the challenges of finding his place in the world.
With a cast of colorful human and puppet characters—including the cynical roommate Nicky, the feisty Kate Monster, and the lovable slacker Trekkie Monster—Avenue Q tackles the big questions of adulthood with sharp wit, catchy songs, and a generous dose of heart. It’s a laugh-out-loud, tender, and sometimes surprisingly profound look at life’s awkward transitions.
All performances are in English and will be accompanied by a live band.
Note: Recommended for mature audiences due to language and adult humor.
