Avenue Q The Musical tickets coming to Minneapolis Orpheum Theatre

I am so excited that the hilarious musical Avenue Q is coming to Minneapolis! My husband and I are the only ones out of his immediate family that have yet to see this musical. His two sisters and their husbands, his brother, and his parents have all seen this musical already. That is why I bought my husband Avenue Q tickets for Christmas to see Avenue Q at the Orpheum Theatre in April!

Avenue Q tickets are available at the Orpheum Theatre from April 13-18th, for a total of 8 performances. Avenue Q is largely inspired by Sesame Street, with most of the musicals characters being puppets. HOWEVER, Avenue Q is NOT a children's show. The characters are older, in the 20-30 year old age range, and the characters face adult problems and themes and use profanity.

Avenue Q is written by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. Marx as well as the designer Rick Lyon have worked for Sesame Street in the past, which gave them the background with the puppets, but because of the adult material in the musical, Avenue Q does not claim any connection to the Sesame Workshop or The Jim Henson Company.

The Avenue Q setting takes place in an "outer-outer borough of New York City." There are maybe a dozen puppets, as well as human characters in the musical. The human characters include child TV star Gary Coleman as the apartment building superintendent (not actually played by Gary Coleman, but that would have been pretty cool!)

Avenue Q opened off-Broadway in March of 2003 and opened on Broadway in July 2003 and ran through September 2009. Avenue Q won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2004 as well as Best Book and Best Score-contending with the likes of Wicked!

Since I have yet to see the musical, I cannot tell you how great it is personally, but I have many great reviews, and read the synopsis online and it sounds absolutely hilarious!

If you've seen Avenue Q already, please let me know what you thought! I am anxiously awaiting April to get here, not only so the weather warms up, but also to finally see Avenue Q at the Orpheum Theatre!

What Do You Do with a B.A. in English? lyrics

What do you do with a B.A. in English,
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college and plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree.

I can't pay the bills yet,
'Cause I have no skills yet,
The world is a big scary place.

But somehow I can't shake,
The feeling I might make,
A difference,
To the human race.

Morning, Brian.

Hi, Kate Monster.

How's life?

Disappointing.

What's the matter?

The catering company laid me off.

Rochester Auditorium Theatre Wicked tickets available through Ticket King!

The hugely popular Broadway Musical Wicked is coming to Rochester, New York from April 13-May 2, 2010. Wicked tickets have been selling out right and left for every city Wicked has toured! Don't miss out on this chance to see what all the fuss is about! Be sure to get your Broadway Wicked tickets for the Rochester Auditorium Theatre early!

The story of Wicked mostly takes place before Dorothy stumbles upon Oz and Munchkinland. Wicked tells the background story of Elphaba, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.


Originally, Elphaba and Glinda are friends, but their differences in personality, viewpoints, and other life influences bring them to where they end up as we know them from the Wizard of Oz. Buy your Rochester Auditorim Theatre Wicked tickets NOW!



Wicked definitely gives you a different idea about why the Wicked Witch of the West is the way she is....if you've already seen Wicked, or after you see the show, please let me know what you think! I sure had to put my opinion of Elphaba on a pedestal and re-evaluate after reading the synopsis (because I have to admit, I've been wanting to see it, and when it's been in my area, I did not buy Wicked tickets early enough and missed out, so I finally had to read the storyline online!).




The musical version of Wicked premiered in May 2003, in San Francisco, and Wicked opened on Broadway at Gershwin Theatre in October 2003. Wicked was nominated for ten Tony Awards in 2004, winning three Tony Awards, for Best Leading Actress, Best Scenic Design and Best Costume design. Wicked did not win the Tony Award for Best Musical, losing to Avenue Q (check back soon for a blog about Avenue Q!!!). Wicked musical tickets will be flying off the shelves, so buy Wicked tickets now for the lovely...and unlovely witches in your life!

Twenty-five performances might seem like a lot, leading you to believe that you have all the time in the world to purchase your Wicked tickets for Rochester Auditorium Theatre "at a later date", but Wicked grossed more than $56 million in the first year Wicked was on Broadway! The production of Wicked has been playing to capacity for almost every performance! Now is not the time to dawdle! Get on it with purchasing your Wicked tickets before you're outta luck, and GREEN with envy for those that get to attend Wicked without you!
