AVENUE Q
Imagine a Tony® Award-winning musical that’s hip, savvy, uproariously funny and where the cast consists of puppets (yes, puppets). AVENUE is the story of the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Did you know…
DANCE was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music and choreographed by Lucinda Childs in 1979.
The décor for DANCE is a black and white film by Sol Le Witt, which is projected on a transparent scrim downstage of the dancers and is perfectly synchronized with live dancers on the stage.
The costumes in the film and on the stage are the same, and were designed by Christina Giannini.
DANCE consists of three dances that are each approximately 20 minutes in length; it is performed without intermission.
The music for DANCE was composed by Philip Glass and, for this remounting, a new recording was made by the Philip Glass Ensemble.

The piece was a beautiful synthesis of movement, film and sound. The dancers of today move differently than their historic counterparts which brought a special feeling of an homage across time to the work. Brilliant white figures swirled with precision across the stage in a non-stop flow of energy and sound. The piece is a classic and the audience in Gainesville received a special gift by its performance.
