Footlighters to Perform Avenue Q May 2-17

The Burlington County Footlighters conclude the 2013-14 season with a performance of Avenue Q at The Playhouse in Cinnaminson May 2-17.

With a score by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and a book by Jeff Whitty, all of whom earned Tony Awards for their work, the musical is a satirical but insightful look at a group of friends and neighbors making their way in the big city and seeking their purpose in life, while discovering what things are actually like in the real world. In the spirit of a beloved television show, but this time focusing on more adult issues and relationships, AVENUE Q is a place where puppets are friends, monsters are good and life lessons are learned.

The show contains adult language and subject matter, and is not intended for younger audiences.

Philadelphia resident Sean Flaherty returns to Footlighters to direct this production, working in collaboration with musical director and fellow Philadelphian Sean Mehlbaum. The cast of of regional talent that includes Matthew Holman of Philadelphia as Princeton & Rod, Rachel Kapulskey as Lucy, CJ Kish of Collingswood as Nicky & Trekkie, Lindsey Krier of Maple Shade as Kate, Derek Miller of Edgewater Park as Brian, Leilah Murphy of Edgewater Park as Gary Colman, Jillian Starr Renbjor of Maple Shade as Christmas Eve, and Kori Rife of Riverside as a Bad Idea Bear and so much more.
