Avenue Q Book Of Mormon, The Frozen Up HereAvenue Q
It's set on a fictional New York City street, where a bunch of singing puppets and humans are struggling to find their way in the world. the press release tells us: "the cast of characters who live on avenue Q--Rod, Brian, Kate Monster, Christmas eve, et al--are members of the younger generation that flocks to New York year after year: out of college, out of work, and out of money, but flush with enough hopes, aspirations, and sexual and identity crises to fill a musical comedy with story and song. adding to the wit and irreverence of avenue Q is the musical's sly spin on contemporary children's programming, with a cast comprised of both puppets and real actors."
