Avenue Q is coming to the Lexington Opera House this weekend as part of the Broadway Live series. We’re doing something fun for this show; choosing a select number of fans who will get a pair of tickets to opening night (Friday at 8:00pm). We’re calling these “Social Seats,” as the winners will be asked to tweet and/or post Facebook updates from their phones throughout the show. It’s a fun way for people to share their experience and to let everyone know how hilarious it is (and it WILL be hilarious). If you’re interested in going to the show and sitting in our Social Seats, read below for the details on how to enter.

The orchestra levels and balconies were blanketed with eager fans that filled every seat in this sold out show.
