Barrett played his last performance as Princeton/Rod in the Broadway production of AVENUE Q on July 2, 2006, after playing the part for a year and a half. He was with the show for a total of 2 and a half years.

Barrett joined the company of AVENUE Q on December 12, 2003 as the first understudy for Princeton/Rod (which he performed over 50 times), second understudy for Nicky/Trekkie/Bear (which he performed 4 times), and a member of the ensemble. On February 1, 2005, Barrett permanently took over the lead role of Princeton/Rod.

AVENUE Q opened on Broadway in July 2003, with direction by Jason Moore, music & lyrics by Bobby Lopez and Jeff Marks, musical direction by Gary Adler, orchestrations by Stephen Oremus and choreography by Ken Roberson. Among the cast at Barrett's last performance were Rick Lyon (Nicky, Trekkie, Bear), Jennifer Barnhart (Mrs. T., Bear & Others), Haneefah Wood (Gary Coleman), Mary Faber (Kate, Lucy), Evan Harrington (Brian), Ann Sanders (Christmas Eve), Howie Michael Smith (ensemble) and Matt Schreiber (ensemble). Please note that Aymee Garcia was on as Kate/Lucy, and Becca Ayers was on as Mrs. T., Bear and others on July 2.

AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q; still, the neighbors seem nice. There's Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod -- a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret; an Internet addict called Trekkie Monster; and a very cute kindergarten teaching assistant named Kate. And would you believe the building's superintendent is Gary Coleman?!? (Yes, that Gary Coleman.) Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
