Avenue Q was developed at the 2002 National Music Theatre Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut. Jeff Marx, one of the creators of the show, interned at “Sesame Street” early in his career and drew inspiration from his work experience when creating Avenue Q - three of the puppet characters (Trekkie Monster, Rod, and Nicky) are recognizable parodies of classic “Sesame Street” puppets (Cookie Monster, Bert, and Ernie).
The show opened Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in March 0f 2003, receiving rave reviews and extending its run four times before closing
