Avenue Q

News“To call it a ''puppet show'' does it a disservice. '''Sesame Street' for grown-ups'' isn't right either. There's no handy way to describe ''Avenue Q,'' except as the furriest, and one of the funniest, shows you're likely ever to see.” NY Review

Tickets to Avenue Q start at US$75, housed in Las Vegas’ latest resort, Wynn Las Vegas.
