(Tie) Avenue Q & Jersey Boys
This is pretty much a TPAC toss-up. Jersey Boys was a glitzy, fantastically directed and performed journey through the lives and careers of the pop group The Four Seasons, featuring the great music of songwriter (and occasional Nashville resident) Bob Gaudio. But hats off also to TPAC for bringing us Avenue Q, an irreverent, hysterically funny puppet-and-people romp through a contemporary, Sesame Street-style neighborhood where we learned important lessons such as "Everyone's a little bit racist" and "It sucks to be me." Somehow, fittingly, Gary Coleman was there too. MARTIN BRADY
