"Inspired. The first mainstream musical since 'Rent' to coo with such seductive directness...A pitch-perfect ensemble of live performers and oversized hand puppets."--New York Times.

"A smart, funny urban musical. A wonderful show. This is a musical whose originality is matched by the genius of its creators and performers."--New York Post.

"'Avenue Q' floats merrily on its melodies. And what's more, those puppets really know how to sing them."--Associated Press.
