Avenue Q is a musical about a group of puppets (and humans) living in New York. Right from the off the show spirals into a world of unemployment, love and puppet sex. That's right.
If you thought Phantom of the Opera was good...go see it again, because Avenue Q isn't anything like it. Avenue Q is all about being young, struggling in the world of finding a job, moving away from home, building new relationships and....porn (inside joke). A farcry from the traditional world of musicals, where beautiful love stories and world-class orchestra's dazzle the Queen and guests. At Avenue Q you wouldn't be misplaced in jeans and a hat.
The songs are also quirky and, I say this with no exageration, hilarious. Just look at the video. The songs are all well placed in the context of the show, and with weekday tickets starting at £10, it could be the best (and cheapest...shhh) date you've ever been on!
We live on Avenue Queeeeeeee, Avenue Queeee.
Oh, word of warning: the songs are addictive. Be prepared to sing them for a good fortnight.
