    Travelzoo and ‘Avenue Q’

    Posted on

    A Broadway play over 30% of the cost, another deal to explore.

    ‘Avenue Q’, is a story about a young college boy who comes to NY, and just like everyone who ventures to NY, they come with dreams packed in their suitcase and not a dime,well maybe a few dollars, in the bank.  He finds a place on avenue Q, because that is the only neighborhood he can afford.  We all know how expensive NY is.  The story begins, relating the struggles about finding jobs, dates and most important find, the purpose of life.

    A Broadway play for less than a Broadway price.

    One more thing, don’t let the sesame puppets fool you, play not intended for children.
