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…
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem are making their first-ever Pajama Party appearance at the Phillips Center for the Performing arts.
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem is rolling out a new family CD, Ranky Tanky, and a touring show to accompany it. For more than a decade, this Americana string band’s “playful and profound” performances (The Boston Globe) have enthralled audiences at festivals and theaters across North America. The new family show embraces all the spirit and skill of the quartet’s all-ages performance, but adds a few twists for young ears: a menagerie of animal songs, a “veggie” baster birthday serenade, a duck dance (no relation to the chicken), a traditional game from the Georgia Sea Islands, and much more.
A 100% parent band, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem know about kids — and, after 10 years playing together, they also know each other. They have shared everything from rehearsals to stomach flus, canceled flights to cancer treatments, marriage (two out of four are married to each other) to births, lots of child care swaps, and, when absolutely necessary, toothpaste. Watch them on stage for just one song, and you’ll realize this is a family you want to jump up and join. And join them you can! Clap, wiggle, shake, sing and shout, or just listen — anything goes. This band believes that anyone can make music, and when we do it together, it’s magic.

My wife and I saw Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem several times at a barn in Windsor CT, when we lived there. What a great band they will make you get up off your seat and dance.
