Avenue Q show coming to the Warner Theatre

Avenue Q Parades into DC
Kevin Lee from YELP in my Everyday Reads has the skinny on the Avenue Q show coming to the Warner Theatre.

The Broadway's smash-hit musical comedy about real life in New York City, Avenue Q, is returning to the District this February for a limited engagement at the Warner Theatre. The cast of people and puppets in this hilariously irreverent, Tony-winning book and score will perform from Tuesday, February 10 - Sunday, February 15. Yelp along to songs like "It Sucks to Be Me," "If You Were Gay," "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "The Internet is for Porn!"

About the show:
AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone's looking for the same things he is: a decent job, a stable relationship, and a "purpose." Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that "the real world" isn't so bad, after all!

The New York Times hailed AVENUE Q as "a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe. Savvy, sassy and delicious!" and Entertainment Weekly claimed it was "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see!"

All tickets on opening night, from the front row to the back, are just $45! Also, yelpers can receive a very special offer of orchestra seats for just $50 on the Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evening performances. These tickets are generally $65-$75 each. These specialty rate tickets (valid only on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday evening performances) are available to yelpers through via the Tickets link above.
