Jeff Marx is an American composer and lyricist best known for co-creating the musical Avenue Q, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2004. Born on September 10, 1970, in Hollywood, Florida, Marx grew up in a musical family and began playing the piano at a young age. He attended the University of Michigan, where he studied music composition and theater.
After college, Marx moved to New York City to pursue a career in musical theater. He worked odd jobs to support himself while writing music and lyrics in his spare time. In 1998, he met Robert Lopez, a fellow composer and lyricist, and the two began collaborating on a musical that would eventually become Avenue Q.
Avenue Q premiered off-Broadway in 2003 and transferred to Broadway the following year. The show, which features a cast of puppets and explores adult themes such as racism, sexuality, and unemployment, was an instant hit with audiences and critics alike. Marx and Lopez won the Tony Award for Best Original Score, and the show won Best Musical.
