Described by the Sunday Times as “The best musical of the decade”, Avenue Q has left the West End and arrives in Manchester this May and June.
The Tony Award-winning “Avenue Q” show is possibly best described as The Muppets or Sesame Street but with much more mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness thrown in.
The puppets in the show deal with all kinds of modern day topics on a more adult level than you’d ever hear from Big Bird. Rather than counting to 12, which happens to be the minimum age for the show, they deal with love, work, relationships and most crucially “how are you supposed to pay the bills with a BA in English?”.
It also deals with an even bigger question that has taxed the minds of politicians and parents for the past decade – what is the purpose of the Internet. Unfortunately we can’t tell you the answer so you’ll have to watch the show (or search Youtube :)).
The fairly short run of the show runs on various dates from 31 May 2011 to 04 Jun 2011.
This video is from a Children in Need version of the show, so probably a lot more office friendly, but we couldn’t find any genuine preview videos from Avenue Q on Youtube.
Tickets to Avenue Q can be booked here but don’t leave it too late as they are guaranteed to sell out fast!
