comment
Robert Lopez and Jeffrey Marx's multiple Tony Award–winning musical about a group of friends in a New York City neighborhood trying to live out their dreams, despite such mundane obstacles as trying to hold a job. The show is loosely based on and inspired by Sesame Street, though it handles adult themes such as sex, drinking, and pornography. Much of the humor is crude and the language is quite foul, and there is one on-stage depiction of puppet sex, so despite appearing to be a children's show, it is very definitely for mature audiences.At least one song from the show, "The Internet Is for Porn", has become incredibly popular on the web after being used for a number of user-produced videos.All of the characters except for Brian, Christmas Eve, and Gary are puppets. The singers are on stage, dressed in black, and although the audience is supposed to ignore their presence, they tend to act along with their characters. The puppets are supposed to represent humans, although the two monsters (Kate and Trekkie) are treated as a separate race, just like white, black, etc., and are distinguishable by the fact they're plush, while the other puppets are slightly fuzzy felt.The show premiered Off-Broadway in March 2003 for a 3-month run, and on Broadway that July for a run that lasted until September 2009. There have been numerous other productions since the Broadway debut, including a 10-year Off-Broadway run that began shortly after the first Broadway production closed (so 2009-19).Has a character sheet.

 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Insistently averted: "I'm Gary Coleman, from TV's Diff'rent Strokes / I made a lot of money that got stolen by my folks!" (In the original Broadway production, and most subsequent American shows, Gary Coleman is played by a woman. For the London production, who might not know the show, Gary Coleman is played by a man.) Even more insistently averted in the Israeli production, which replaces Coleman's character entirely with local actress Michal Yanai, then actually got Michal Yanai to play the role. Hungarian productions replace Gary Coleman with Michael Jackson. The Mexican production replaces Gary Coleman with Imanol Landeta, the child actor from the telenovela El Niño que Vino del Mar.

All Men Are Perverts: Trekkie's belief that "The Internet Is for Porn" is heartily backed up by all the guys of Avenue Q, much to Kate's disgust. The possibility that women "unzip their flies" as well is never entertained.

"No Talking or Phones" Warning: A bonus online spot featured the Bad Idea Bears pressuring a guy to use his phone in the theater, resulting in everybody around him — both in the audience and onstage — staring judgmentally. It ends with Trekkie Monster saying, "Don't be that guy. Turn off your phone."

Poor Communication Kills: Nicky tries to get Rod out of the closet, but Rod understandably isn't ready to talk about his sexuality with his friend and roommate, on whom he was a crush and states repeatedly that he's not gay. When Nicky crosses the line, Rod kicks him out until Nicky as an apology finds him a new partner.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: "The Money Song" ends with most of the cast running up and down the aisles, soliciting donations for the "monster school" with outstretched hats (the donations go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS or, depending on the production, a regional charity). When they return to the stage, a character will usually ad lib some humorous remark about a non-monetary item they've collected. In the UK, one character (usually Brian) comments that British money is no good in New York. In Newcastle: In the 2019 UK tour: In Dunedin, New Zealand, a voucher for a local strip club was used in place of Newcastle's Nando's card. When the touring production went to Manchester, they receive a weekend for two in Liverpool, and comment on how "that isn't worth anything!" During "The Internet Is for Porn", Trekkie will pull an Aside Glance or point to some poor guy in the front row. Or gesture to multiple people in the front row. Before Rod tells the rest of the cast that he's gay, he tells the audience to hold their applause so as not to spoil the Transparent Closet joke.

However, in various in-character interviews and events, the characters seem to be aware that humans and puppets are different (they sometimes reveal themselves as Animated Actors). One video featuring Rod even treats puppets as a separate race, with him calling himself "the first Republican Puppet-American."

Clueless Aesop
 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_2d8da79
comment
Clueless Aesop: The song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" correctly points out that many of us have internalized prejudices we consciously know are wrong but at times get the better of us. However, rather than advising thinking more closely about what we say and believe in the name of self-improvement, the song advises the audience not to sweat it and just live with it. Because the best way to approach a major social problem is to just ignore it and tell the people affected by it to just suck it up, right?

Broken Aesop: "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist". The message is that everyone's a little bit racist, but certain lines come off less as "everyone makes incorrect assumptions about other based on race" and more as "At Least I Admit It." For example, Kate, Princeton, and Gary laughing at Christmas Eve's accent, then telling Brian to "come off it" when he defends her, is more than a "little" racist.

Bittersweet Ending: Princeton realizes he may never find out what his purpose is, and he may not even have one, and that every good thing in life is only temporary. But at the same time all the bad things in life are only temporary too, and instead of worrying about the future, it's best to just enjoy what you have for now. He also does help Kate open her monster school, and they reconcile. Meanwhile, Rod and Nicky make up and Rod becomes Christmas Eve's first client.

Fantastic Racism

Fantastic Racism: "Monsters" sometimes face mild discrimination—with their only biological difference being fur as opposed to... cloth... covering their bodies. (Well, Kate is a fuzzy human, but Trekkie looks like he stepped out of a sexually frustrated version of Where the Wild Things Are.) Lampshaded by "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist".

comment
Jerkass Has a Point: May as well be Jerkass Has a Point the musical edition: Trekkie reveals, to Kate's disgust, that lots of ordinary people use the Internet for porn. Her denial isn't going to change that. While Nicky is trying to get Rod out of his shell, straight-laced Rod is correct that Nicky is overstepping his bounds in forcing him out of the closet. Princeton points out that everyone's a little bit racist, and trying to deny it makes you a hypocrite. Kate concedes, they get Gary to concede and even get Brian and Christmas Eve to admit it. Gary Coleman says everyone laughs at other's misfortune, so you may as well join in; a homeless Nicky has no response except to agree.

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Played with. Trekkie Monster is an antisocial shut-in (later revealed to have a Friendless Background) who is addicted to masturbating to porn, which Kate thinks is gross. However, during "The Internet is For Porn," he makes a point that all guys, including those with wives and sex lives like Brian, use the internet to masturbate.

Driven to Suicide: Princeton (egged on by the Bad Idea Bears, who leave him a noose) and an unnamed extra during "There Is Life Outside Your Apartment." (Neither goes through with it.) Subverted for Rod near the end, in that Christmas Eve is explaining to everybody that she has her first client, and they deduce that it's Rod. Then we hear what sounds like a gunshot. It's only a champagne cork popping, however; Rod opens it to celebrate. The look on Christmas Eve's face is hilarious!

Gary and the Bad Idea Bears (who in some productions also start screwing each other) sing as everybody around them moans.

Invoked in "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist."

Granted, just before she sings that, Christmas Eve does indeed acknowledge that she's racist, too ("Yes, I know.").

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The musical takes place in an unidentified "outer-outer borough" of New York City. Notably, there is no Avenue Q anywhere in New York City. South Brooklyn has a series of lettered avenues running from west to east, but what should be Avenue Q (the road between and parallel to Avenue P and Avenue R) is named Quentin Road instead, having been renamed after World War II in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's youngest son Quentin, who was killed in action in World War I.

Homoerotic Dream: Rod dreaming about Nicky confessing his love for him is what prompts Rod to finally accept that he is definitely gay and that he's in love with Nicky.

Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: It's harder to notice because the tempo slows down for the part, but the last few notes of "What do you do with a BA in English" say "the human" as "THE huMAN".

Amazing Technicolor Population: The puppet characters have a broad range of skin colours: Princeton is orange, Rod is blue, Nicky is green, Lucy the Slut is pink, and Trekkie Monster is covered in reddish-brown fur. Ironically, Kate Monster's tan fur is the most human-like, despite her being a "monster" puppet.

Leitmotif: Some of the puppets have recurring themes, usually tied to a song related to their character Princeton's "What Do You Do With a BA in English?" plays in the background whenever he's trying to find his purpose. "If You Were Gay" is a Recurring Riff for Rod. Especially in the second act, "There's A Fine, Fine Line" for Kate representing her broken heart.

Evolving Music
 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_ab5d5d86
comment
Evolving Music: "For Now" was originally written with the line "George Bush is only for now." When this inevitably came true, the lyric began to be replaced with several other things over its various runs, usually tied to current events. "George Bush was only for now." In the London production of the show, George Bush's name was replaced with Gordon Brown sometime in 2009. (Two nights after he lost the 2010 election, this line prompted a standing ovation.) Or in Australia, "Tony Abbott is only for now." (He's the Federal Opposition Leader, and hilariously nuts.) One of the most recent US showings went with "Fox News is only for now." Glenn Beck is also a common replacement for George Bush in recent US showings. In the California regional showing, it's "Prop 8 is only for now." Similarly, in North Carolina it's "Amendment One is only for now." During the mid-2009 off-Broadway run: "Swine Flu is only for now." Mid-2010: "BP is only for now." The UK tour (Late 2010) had: "Lib Dems are only for now," referencing the unpopular move of the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition with their near polar opposites in Parliament, the Conservative Party. The final performance on London's West End (Oct 2010): "This show is only for now." It also appeared in the recent Singapore tour, as well as the final performance of the original Broadway production in 2009. The UK tour (Feb 2011) is using: "Jedward is only for now." And the 2012 UK tour had "Justin Bieber". Same for New York as of late March 2014. In New York as of November 2014, it's "Ebola". In a Columbus, OH showing, it was replaced with "John Kasich is only for now," referencing the Ohio governor who had recently made the unpopular decision to turn down stimulus money meant to build up a rail travel system. A Chicago production in 2012 had "Chick-fil-A is only for now." (Chick-fil-A is a Christian fast-food chain that revealed it gives money to anti-gay charities, which got it a huge boost from conservatives and a banning in Chicago. A few months later they claimed they wouldn't donate to anti-gay charities any more.) In one Boston University production (November 2012) it's been changed to "TWINKIES!" (It also changed the Empire State Building to the Prudential Center, as well as many other local/school-specific references. In March of 2013, it was changed to "The Pope!" In a Toronto production 2013, it was "Rob Ford!" In late June and July 2013, it was "DOMA!" UK tour 2015 had it as One Direction. UK tour 2016 had it as David Cameron. As of 2016, it's Nastyman Trump, or sometimes "Fake News!" The August-September 2016 Tallahassee, FL, community theater run has it as "Rick Scott!" The 2019 UK tour initially used Donald Trump, but after she stepped down as Prime Minister, they started using Theresa May instead, prompting cheers. This has since been changed to Boris Johnson, also prompting cheers. A virtual original cast reunion for the Actors Fund in 2020 had "COVID is only for now". Christmas Eve's line in "It Sucks to Be Me" about working in a Korean deli is sometimes changed to a Chinese restaurant. In "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", the line about stupid Poles in the Broadway production was changed to French assholes in the West End production.

Granted, just before she sings that, Christmas Eve does indeed acknowledge that she's racist, too ("Yes, I know."). Rod, right before "If You Were Gay:"

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The show's final skit for the annual BC/EFA Easter Bonnet Celebration before the Off-Broadway run closed in 2019 had one of these: Princeton and Kate got married and opened Monsterssori schools all over the nation. Christmas Eve made a mental health podcast called "Ruv Yourself." Rod quit his investment banking job to start an antiquing business in New Jersey with Ricky. Nicky started a cannabis delivery service. Mrs. Thistletwat got a 3D-printed heart. Lucy the Slut became a crusader for sex workers' rights. Gary Coleman opened an orphanage for unemployed child actors. ("The Ooorphaaaage!") Brian became "the phantom pooper of Ripley-Grier.note a famous theater rehearsal space in New York City"

Hard Truth Aesop
 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: It comes with the territory of "Sesame Street for adults." "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" speaks for itself. Both it and "Schadenfreude" have more or less the same message: it's not nice, but everyone does it to a certain extent. You may never find your singular "purpose" in life, no matter how hard you try. While it's ultimately positive, it's not the highest note to go out on, and the show can be read as rather open-ended as a result.

Shout-Out: One of the "good songs" mentioned in "Mix Tape" is "Moving Right Along" from The Muppet Movie. In "Purpose": "Could it be/Yes it could/Something's coming/Something good!" The musical's logo is stylized as a fuzzy version of a New York City Subway route bullet, in particular, the bullet used by the Q train from 1990 to 2001 when it operated via Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. The end of "Special" where Lucy repeatedly sings "For me" is an homage to the end of "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy, which is also in part about burlesque.

Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Averted by Christmas Eve in the song "It Sucks to Be Me," where her being Japanese prevents her from getting a job at a Korean deli or Chinese restaurant. However it's sometimes invoked through casting: some of the actresses playing the part have been of a different race, for instance the London production had a Filipina in the role at one time.

No Antagonist: The only true "antagonist" in the musical is the main cast's various issues. Lucy comes closest to being one, due to being the primary obstacle in Princeton and Kate's relationship, but that's only one aspect of the story and thus not enough to qualify her as a Big Bad, not to mention she's not really evil, just promiscuous and kind of petty. The most evil characters are the Bad Idea Bears, but they have very few appearances and may just be the personification of Princeton's own negative thoughts.

Going Commando: Brian's song "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today." Five lines all about his lack of underwear is what passes for an opening act at the nightclub. No wonder he hasn't hit the big time.

Reconstruction
 Avenue Q (Theatre) / int_e50987a9
comment
Reconstruction: The show isn't just an adult parody of Sesame Street, but one made in the structure of its source material, complete with An Aesop that would actually be applicable to its target audience. It could very well be what Sesame Street would look like if it were made for young adults.

comment
Expy: Trekkie, Nicky and Rod for Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert respectively. Although Kate's design slightly resembles Elmo, Grover, or especially Prairie Dawn, she doesn't parody any specific Sesame character. Princeton isn't any specific character's Expy either, but his design slightly resembles Kingston Livingston III.

Unexplained Recovery: After being hit in the head by a coin Lucy's head falls off (twice) on the way to the hospital (off stage) but she survives and becomes an Evangelical Christian. Similarly, at the end of the show it's revealed that The Bad Idea Bears have become Scientologists.

Blackface: Word of God says that the Hungarian localized version replaced Gary Coleman with Michael Jackson to avert this trope. This way, the character could be played by a white actor and still be considered African-American.

Same Race Means Related: Lampshaded. It is assumed that Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster are related because they have the same last name and because they're the only two monsters on the avenue. Kate debunks the claim and teaches a very important lesson that just because two people are the same race, it doesn't mean they're related.
