Producer Kevin McCollum says the Tony-winning musical, which had its final Broadway performance Sunday night, will move to off-Broadway next month.

The show about twentysomethings in New York searching for life and love will begin performances Oct. 9 at New World Stages.

McCollum made the announcement from the stage of Broadway's Golden Theatre after what was the musical's last performance. Said the producer: "'Avenue Q' is staying in the Broadway neighborhood." The closing-night audience cheered.

New World Stages is located five blocks from the Golden Theatre in midtown Manhattan.
