Director: Jonathon Biggins
Cast: Mitchell Butel
Performed by a wonderful mix of humans and puppets, Avenue Q features puppets in the buff and songs like "If You Were Gay", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "The Internet is for Porn". Cross 'Sesame Street' with 'The Muppet Show', give it an R-rating and you've got the Tony Award-winning Avenue Q!
AVENUE Q opened on Broadway in 2003, beating blockbuster WICKED for BEST MUSICAL, BEST BOOK and BEST SCORE at the 2004 Tony Awards. It is still a hit on Broadway and is currently playing its 4th year on London's Westend.
But be warned... this is not a show for the kids!
Please note: Avenue Q may be inappropriate for 12 years of age and under. Avenue Q does use puppets, however this is an adult show, and is not suitable for young children.
Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes
Interval: 20 minutes

"There is much to love about Avenue Q. The cast are fantastic, the puppets they control are smart-mouthed but charming, the pace is cracking, the lyrics funny, the set is cleverly designed and looks great, and the air is thick with undiluted fun. Avenue Q is like an amalgamation of Sesame Street and South Park that is set in a grimy part of New York. While it is famous for being rude and crude, it is also delightfully sweet."
