Avenue Q

Why see Avenue Q?

THE WEST END AND BROADWAY HIT COMES TO WIMBLEDON!

This triple-Tony winning hit and West End long-runner of five years heads out on its first UK tour, and heads for the New Wimbledon Theatre for some very naughty fun! Written by Robert Lopez, the lyricist of the Olivier-winning Book of Mormon and Disney's Frozen, this risque comedy musical comprises an unholy alliance unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets as they tell the off-the-wall story of a set of loveable characters who live on a New York Street. Join the gang as they use music and comedy to make sense of life, and its most pressing issues! One to definitely leave the little ones at home for....

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Meet optimistic college graduate Princeton, who has just moved to this downtown NYC neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life. However, nothing seems to go as smoothly as he wanted!

Armed with a tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a wild and side-splittingly funny journey of self-discovery. Life may suck on AVENUE Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or pornographic... and those are just the puppets!) are just some of the topics featured in the terrific songs. Featuring searingly funny numbers including "It Sucks to Be Me", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", this is a cynic's delight as we see hopes and dreams crumble around felt ears, but seeking redemption without losing heart, or becoming saccharine.

Laughed too much

Yeah ok I laugh at the simplest of things, but, I was told during the interval to keep it down during the second half. Apparently I was spoiling the performance for other people! ... Read more

Lots of Fun

A wonderful evening in a beautiful theatre. The show is hilarious and the quality of the performance is matched by the friendlyness and professionalism of the staff we met in the Gielgud theatre, from box office to bar to auditorium staff everybody was smiling and helpful. The location of the venue is also superb as Chinatown is less than a minute away - crispy duck pancakes followed by naughty puppets - who could ask for more?! ... Read more
