Avenue Q's cast of puppets, politically incorrect lyrics, and hilarious upending of children's television laughed its way into three Tony awards. Now, Bria Walker brings this Broadway hit to the University of Pittsburgh Stages.  Follow recent graduate, Princeton, as he tries to find his way in the world, with award winning music by Robert Lopez (Frozen, Book of Mormon) and Jeff Marx.  

Avenue Q will have daily updates about the production on Tumblr and will be sharing fun items via the hashtag, #pittaveq on Instagram. Check out all the fun at http://pittaveq.tumblr.com/ and Instagram.

This is easy, even when confronted repeatedly by the cast who have arms shoved up the puppets' rears."
