About Avenue Q
Avenue Q is back in the West End after two decades. The three-time Tony Award-winning musical follows Princeton, fresh out of college and looking for his purpose, as he moves into a shabby apartment on New York’s rundown Avenue Q and meets his new neighbours.
As they deal with work, love and paying the bills, the story is told with humour and a cast of colourful characters. The production features original Broadway director Jason Moore and original puppet designer Rick Lyon.
The season is strictly limited this spring.
Key facts: Three-time Tony Award-winning musical; returned to the West End after two decades; strictly limited season this spring.
