Avenue Q Gielgud Theatre Tickets
Gielgud Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 6AR
Transfer from the Noel Coward Theatre.
Synopsis:
Avenue Q is not the most upmarket of New York streets, and is about as far away from Park Avenue as you can get, but it is home to some lively and off the wall characters performed by an unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets!
Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate, has just moved to this neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life.
A tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a hilarious story of self-discovery. Life may suck on Avenue Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or porno... and that's just the puppets) are just some of the topics featured in the terrific songs of this show.

Avenue Q Gielgud Reviews:
'Brash, vulgar, sometimes downright obscene, I loved every minute of it' Sunday Times.
'An outrageously funny musical for the iPod generation. Cross Sesame Street with the Muppet Show give it an X rating and slap on a Government Health Warning that too much laughter can make your sides ache and you've got Avenue Q, A MUST SEE ' Radio 2.
