“Avenue Q,” the “triple crown” (Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book) Tony Award-winning musical that is “part flesh, part felt and packed with heart” will be Entr’acte Theatrix’s first production of 2025. The production will run from March 6 through 16 in the Waldron Theatre at Actor’s Rep in West Palm Beach.
A sort of R-rated “Sesame Street,” it ran for more than six years on Broadway. The musical focuses on recent college graduate, Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Tickets can be purchased by calling 561-833-7529 or at PalmBeachTheater.org.
