Avenue Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, with the book by Jeff Whitty. Avenue Q tells the story of Princeton, a recent college graduate who finds out that the only part of New York City he can afford to live in is Avenue Q.

Avenue Q has also made television appearances. Avenue Q presented their version of the Bush-Kerry debate on September 30, 2004.
