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 journey 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.
Winner of the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical, you’ll
want to be first in the queue for AVENUE Q. This
is Sesame Street for adults!!!
