About The Show

Winner of the Tony Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is a laugh-out-loud musical with a lot of heart. Inspired by Sesame Street but strictly for adults, the show follows Princeton, a recent college grad, and his quirky neighbors as they search for jobs, love, and their “purpose” in life. With unforgettable songs like “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” and “The Internet is for Porn,” this puppet-filled comedy mixes outrageous humor with sharp social commentary and genuine emotion, creating a theatrical experience that’s both hysterically funny and surprisingly human.

This WV Collective production, directed by Robby Moore, features a fully local cast and crew bringing the colorful world of Avenue Q to life right here in southern West Virginia. Bold, irreverent, and deeply original, this will be unlike any live theatre production ever staged in Beckley — a once-in-a-lifetime event you won’t want to miss. Expect inventive puppetry, unforgettable characters, and the kind of creative energy that defines the WV Collective spirit.
