Hurry! Broadway Across America presents "Avenue Q" in Portland (OR) June 24 - 29, 2008.

[Radio_Lady]

AVENUE Q is Broadway's smash-hit 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

It's a hilarious show full of heart and hummable tunes.



AVENUE Q is about trying to make it in NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Called "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see" by Entertainment Weekly, AVENUE Q features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in a smart, risque and downright entertaining way.

The New Yorker calls it "subversive and uproarious!"

Recommended for ages 13 and up.

1. It's playing right now at the Paramount in Seattle.

2. Yes, I did see that. FYI, I'm in charge of promoting it in Portland, but thanks for the reminder.

As I understand it, a couple of salaried Portland journalists actually go to Seattle to see the performance, and then write about it when it opens here in Portland, OR.

Regrettably, I am not on salary -- just a reTURNment (instead of retirement) volunteer -- and so I have no way to charge off the mileage and hotel it would take to do this.

Thank you for pointing this out.

I will try to remember it in the future.

3. UPDATE: For Vancouver, WA residents -- you're welcome to COME ON DOWN!

I forgot to mention that in my reply upthread.
