"AVENUE Q" TICKETS ON SALE! SAVE ON PROFESSIONAL MUSICALS WITH A SEASON PASS!

 

 

 

WE LIVE ON AVENUE Q!

SAVE WITH A SEAON PASS!

 




The Axelrod Performing Arts Center will be strolling down AVENUE Q in November, with a brand-new production of the musical that ruled Broadway (for 6 years) and Off Broadway (for 10 years). Before The Book of Mormon…and many years after Sesame Street…came AVENUE Q, the winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" (Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book), the show is as relevant and laugh-out-loud funny today as it ever was.

 

With music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and a book by Jeff Whitty, Avenue Q tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q, which he soon discovers is far from an ordinary neighborhood.

Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q continues to make us laugh, learn and reconsider the world around us. The Axelrod’s all-star cast will be directed and choreographed by Todd LaBron Underwood. Rated R for adult language, adult content and adult situationsAVENUE Q is not for children! Previews begin November 4.

 

 

A MONKEY AND ME

A NEW MUSICAL BY JONATHAN BRIELLE HOLTZMAN

 



 

Broadway and TV legend Tovah Feldshuh (Pippin, Golda’s Balcony, Becoming Dr. Ruth) appears alongside Jersey Shore-born composer Jonathan Brielle Holtzman (Foxfire, Himself and Nora) in a swinging, hilarious new musical comedy in concert A MONKEY AND ME: STORIES I NEVER TOLD MY MOTHER. The cast also includes five other Broadway veterans: Veanne Cox (An American in Paris, La Cage aux Folles, Caroline or Change, Company), Bruce Sabath (Company, Hello Again), Jennifer Sanchez (On Your Feet, West Side Story, Pretty Woman), Nancy Titoten (Damn Yankees, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, West Side Story) and Kate Marilley (The Prom, My Fair Lady, Flying Over Sunset). 

The performances are directed by Kelli Barclay (Associate Choreographer for Irving Berlin’s White Christmas and 42nd Street) and music directed by Nathan Dame who will conduct the onstage swing band! Brielle retells humorous tales of growing up in Asbury Park, wrestling with gangsters, corporate America, two ex-wives, a monkey from his Las Vegas extravaganza, and his overbearing theatrical Jewish mother.

 Limited Engagement: June 24-30
