Avenue Q School Edition
The language (both dialogue and lyrics) has been cleaned up throughout. (Consider the show being rated PG-13 now, rather than rated R.)
The song, "Internet Is for Porn," has been replaced with "Social Life Is Online."
The songs, "My Girl Friend Who Lives in Canada" and "Loud as the Hell You Want," are cut from this version.
The videos throughout the show are all now done live, using actors.
The scenes with the Bad Idea Bears have been trimmed and amended to focus less on drinking now.
A few character names have been changed – Lucy T. Slut is now just Lucy and Mrs. T. is now Mrs. Butz.
Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q School Edition is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart.
The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it's 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.
Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere.
Because the original Avenue Q has some content elements that have previously made it a difficult choice for some high school productions, MTI worked with the Avenue Q authors to create an adaptation that maintains the dramatic (and comedic) intention and integrity of the piece, while editing it to make it more appropriate for high school audiences and performers.

Questions & Answers
Can I perform an Avenue Q song in competition for Thespian Districts? (And hopefully state.)
I'm planning on performing "Purpose" this year at Districts, and hopefully either "I Wish I Could Go Back To College" or "For Now" next year. Can I perform them?

hi i was just wondeing where can i find the script for the school Edition for shows like avenue q?
Materials Included
Hello, I had a general question about what materials are included in the school editions. Is doing a school edition title like doing a Jr./KIDS title, where you get a show kit that you get to keep (ie. the scripts) and do you get the accompaniment CD included with the show or do you need to get that separately?
Thanks!
