Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is packed with heart. This laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college graduate, Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment on Avenue Q.

He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it is clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

VHS Presents "Elephant's Graveyard"
