Meet Princeton, Kate Monster, Trekkie, Brian and their friends on a crummy alleyway in New York as they find out what life is really all about and learn to love it despite the ups and downs. Avenue Q took a brief hiatus from the limelight but now it's reopened in its new venue, the Wyndhams Theatre, to begin its fifth year in the West End. This anarchic musical uses Sesame Street-style puppets and the forms of an old school Gershwin musical, including a setting on the West Side, but describes life in entirely different, more... adult terms. Certainly, George Gershwin never wrote a number called The Internet is for Porn, nor do we remember any Sesame Street songs with the theme Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. Avenue Q is street smart, wry and extremely well-produced. Shot through with charming optimism, crude sex jokes and an appreciation of the simple pleasures of this humdrum life it chimes brilliantly with British audiences.About Wyndhams Theatre
Wyndham's Theatre opened in Charing Cross Road on 16 November 1899, and was owned by Charles Wyndham. One of its biggest hits was Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend which ran for 2078 performances before transferring to Broadway. During the sixties and early seventies, stars such as Alec Guinness, Vanessa Redgrave and Diana Rigg all took to its stage. More about Wyndhams Theatre
