It’s great news that kinky and queer-friendly musical Avenue Q won’t shut down after all. ‘I.T.E.’ It’s kind of tough for a show that’s part ‘Rent’ part dirty Sesame Street to make it with the well-to-do Oscar and Hammerstein swilling blue-hairs and high school class trips that make up the matinee audiences.

It’s just moving down the street to the New World Stages, a smaller venue where quirkier fare seem to make a sustainable living.  From the NYT:

Robert Lopez, who is a co-creator and co-composer of “Avenue Q” with Jeff Marx, said in a telephone interview that he learned of the transfer last week.

He said he suspected, though, that other people in attendance may have known the announcement was coming. “There’s a line in the show about downsizing,” Mr. Lopez said, “and I could tell, there were about 50 people that laughed in the audience, so I figured they knew the secret.”
