After a run of 15 years, Avenue Q is closing. What a run for a great show.

What an impressive run, fueled by some of the smartest producing around. Congrats indeed.

So sad! Thought this would run for forever. Such a great show.

I saw this show for the first time while I was in college and it really resonated with me in a way other comedic shows haven't. Hats off to a wonderful 15 years.

It is and has been since the election.

My first Broadway show, sad to see it go

I've always thought that this is a show that I needed to revisit somewhere soon. When the first national tour came through my city, we got tickets, and found the show funny, but nothing overly special...although, I feel like my dad and I had too much of a high expectation because it beat out Wicked for the Tony, so there was preconceived opinions before hand that we didn't want to change our mind about.

I wonder if they are going to go meta during "For Now" now.
This show is only for now!

Kinda crazy that I haven't seen a professional production of this show, considering it was the first show that made me obsessed with musical theater. Everyone was off obsessing over Wicked and I devoured the (burned and pirated) Avenue Q CD over and over and over.
Maybe it's time for me to make a visit to New World Stages.

First saw this show when I was a senior in college.... then I recently saw it a year ago when I was 33 years old. What a run! I still remember summer of 2004 how crowded their in-person rush lottery was (ok not as crowded as Hamilton back in 2016 but for its time back then I thought it was super crowded!)
What a great run!

Seriously? Their Vegas deal degraded so much potential for this show.

I heard rumors of a tour...I wonder if they'll tour after the close?

Like, 15 years wasn't enough?! I don't think Vegas had an impact.

How can that be true? Sounds like saying a movie degrading the book it adapted. The superior book still exists.

I think Tag is more pointing to the last minute Vegas production in lieu of a tour was a financial disaster. Also it caused the show to now to be able until 4 years after its Broadway opening, which arguably is a lost financial opportunity. One thing you can't argue though is after the Vegas debacle Avenue Q's producers were on par with the Weisslers in terms of knowing to how milk a show every last penny. The one difference is that Avenue Q maintained its quality....

But after that occurred, it toured? I was paying far less attention to such things then (I must have been smarter at the time), but not sure how delaying a tour really impacts anything. Aside from the financial loss of the Vegas staging.
