This Tony Award-winning modern musical focuses on a group of unique 20-somethings making their way in the big city, seeking their purpose in life. A hilarious show full of heart and hummable tunes, AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account. AVENUE Q features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in an entertaining and risqué way. The New York Times hailed AVENUE Q as "a breakthrough musical of a very different stripe. Savvy, sassy and delicious!" and Entertainment Weekly claimed it was "one of the funniest shows you're ever likely to see!" Most theatre goers describe it as “Sesame Street meets South Park.”

AVENUE Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff, based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and is directed by Christa El-Said with musical direction by Patrick Aranda. The original Broadway production won the coveted “triple crown” of Tony Awards in 2004, when it beat out Wicked for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

Due to adult situations and full-puppet nudity, AVENUE Q is inappropriate for children.

AVENUE Q is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

GRAMMY AWARD WINNER ARTURO SANDOVAL PERFORMS IN BENEFIT CONCERT AT CHAFFEY COLLEGE

(Rancho Cucamonga, CA) The Chaffey College Music Department is pleased to announce that Arturo Sandoval, nine-time Grammy award winning jazz trumpet player, is appearing in a benefit concert on September 12 at 7:00 pm in the Chaffey College Theatre.

Arturo Sandoval will be performing both solo and with the Chaffey College Jazz Ensemble directed by Music Professor Patrick Aranda. The Amanda Castro Band, a local jazz group co-led by Chaffey College alumna Castro and Professor Aranda, will open the evening’s event.

The benefit concert assists students in the Chaffey College Music Department with proceeds going toward scholarships, new instruments, and updating of music software and computers, as well as providing education, training, and career opportunities in the field of music.

Arturo Sandoval is one of the most dynamic and vivacious live performers of our time, and has been seen by millions at the Oscars performing with Celine Dion, at the Grammy Awards with Justin Timberlake, and at the Billboard Awards with Alicia Keys. Sandoval has earned 9 Grammy Awards, and nominated 17 additional times.  Sandoval has received 6 Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award for his composing work on the entire underscore of the HBO movie based on his life, For Love or Country starring Andy Garcia. His two latest Grammy award-winning albums, Dear Diz (Everyday I Think of You) and Tango Como Yo Te Siento are now available worldwide.

A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval was born in Artemisa, Cuba, in 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American Jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world.  He has since evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Arturo Sandoval perform at Chaffey College. Tickets are $40 per person and available for purchase at the Chaffey College Bookstore or online at www.chaffey.edu/theatre_tickets.
