I've wanted to watch Avenue Q for a long time - ever since I first saw a video of the song 'The Internet is for Porn' online. The video wasn't from any show performance, but was a song from the soundtrack remade with 'World of Warcraft' characters, but nonetheless it inspired me to seek out other songs from the musical on youtube, and the subjects they covered and the unique way they did so made me determined to see the show for myself sometime . My chance came today - currently touring the UK, the show came to Nottingham, and it was with great excitement that my boyfriend and I took our seats at 7.30 tonight . Having heard many of the songs before, I was a ...  Read the complete review

I first saw Avenue Q (now showing at London's Wyndham's Theatre, beside Leicester Square tube) a little over three years ago, and saw it for the second time last night, and both times were without a doubt two of the funniest nights in my life! Avenue Q tells the story of a group of people living on New York's fictional "Avenue Q". There is a couple in their thirties (American Brian and his Japanese wife Christmas Eve), housemates Rod and Nicky (whose characters bear a strong resemblance to those of Bert and Ernie), a young, idealistic montessori teacher called Kate Monster, and another (completely porn-obsessed) monster, Trekkie Monster ...  Read the complete review

Last night we went to see Avenue Q. I had heard some very good reports from friends. And people that had returned a number of times to see it. I also had a few friends that were surprised we were going. We normally go to see the more 'traditional' musicals in London and elsewhere. We really enjoyed the performance, but I wouldn't go again. One friend had seen in 4 times in a 6 month period. There are some musicals (Lion King, Cats and Lord of the Rings) that I would go again. The musical is based on a street called Avenue Q and centred around the characters that live there. CHARACTERS There are 3 human characters, an actor ...  Read the complete review

Over the three years of the show's run, everyone I know who has been to see "Avenue Q" has told me that I should go and see it because I would love it. Everyone from best friends to ex-girlfriends were telling me the same thing, so when I got the chance to check it out, I couldn't turn it down. It certainly says something for the show that of the people I went with, four of them had seen it before and were still willing to pay £20 to see it again. It is testament to how well people know me that I not only enjoyed the show, but also would happily pay my £20 and go again. Surprisingly, for all the hype, the basic idea is a simple one. "Avenue ...  Read the complete review

Finally went to see Avenue Q after 2 years of saying i will. If your not familiar, the play tells the story of the main characters who live on avenue q using seasme street puppets. Characters include "Lucy the slut", Investment banker Rod, and Trekkie Monster. We saw Avenue Q at the Noel Coward Theatre in London. We bought our brilliant tickets off lastminute.com- we paid £17.50 each. Our seats had a fantastic view and were situated on the Royal Circle balcony. The show started on time- and it was a great 2 and a half hours (with a 15 minute recession). I don`t really want to say much as i don`t want to spoil it, however the cast were superb, the ...  Read the complete review
