Can You Tell Me How to Get....

....to Avenue Q? The long-running Broadway show, which dropped its last curtain on the Great White Way in September, has reemerged as an off-Broadway production, taking up residence at the New World Stages (340 West 50th Street). It's a homecoming of sorts for the offbeat musical, which in 2003 began a two-month run off-Broadway (at the Vineyard Theatre on East 15th Street), before taking residence at the John Golden Theatre shortly thereafter.

The comically subversive show, inspired by the characters of Sesame Street, was written by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, friends who have taken the play around the world, most notably to London and Las Vegas. (The show did not do well with Sin City audiences and it closed after a mere six months.)

Regardless, after an Avenue-Q-less month in New York, we're very happy to have the show that gave the world such songs as "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "Schadenfreude" back on stage in the city that spawned it.
