On the afternoon of the first debate between the Presidential candidates in Coral Gables, Florida on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH, a preamble to that eagerly-anticipated match-up between John Kerry and George W. Bush will take place when AVENUE Q, the 2004 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, presents AVENUE Q & A - a heart-"felt" debate with Presidents, people and puppets - at 1 p.m. on Thursday, September 30th in New York City's Times Square (Duffy Square, 46th St. and Broadway).
AVENUE Q & A - an event open free to the public, who are invited to gather in the Square starting at 12:30 p.m. - will feature a debate, of sorts, between Democratic Presidential candidate Kerry and the Republican Presidential candidate Bush.
The candidates will also sing.
In addition to the candidates, also featured in AVENUE Q & A will be members of the cast of the Tony Award-winning musical AVENUE Q, including the puppet characters Kate Monster, Princeton, Lucy The Slut, the porn-addicted Trekkie Monster, and Broadway's leading (and possibly only) Republican, the closeted, gay, investment banker Rod, who achieved media darling status during the recent Republican National Convention in New York City.
AVENUE Q - winner of three 2004 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book of a Musical - is set on a street in an outerborough of New York City where people and puppets live as neighbors and deal with some of life's thorniest issues, problems not unlike those faced by the electorate in this year's Presidential race.
AVENUE Q has music and lyrics by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, book by Jeff Whitty, puppets conceived and designed by Rick Lyon, and is directed by Jason Moore. The musical is presented on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, Robyn Goodman, Jeffrey Seller, Vineyard Theatre and The New Group.

** Please Note - Any similarity between puppets and actual Presidential candidates is purely coincidental.
