AVENUE Q is not the most upmarket street in New York: about as far removed from Park Avenue as you can be!
But it is the home to some very lively and off the wall characters performed by a mix of humans and puppets.
Princeton (played by Daniel Boys of "Any Dream Will Do" fame) is a college graduate who has just moved to this neighbourhood and wants to follow his dreams and discover his purpose in life. The show takes him through this journey with the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours.
Life may suck on AVENUE Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect and having all kinds of sex are just some of the topics covered in the show's score.
Winner of the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical. It contains scenes which may be unsuitable for children under 12. Children under 5 are not admitted.
Music & lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and book by Jeff Whitty. Directed by Jason Moore. Puppets conceived and designed by Rick Lyon. Choreographed by Ken Roberson
