Avenue Q opened at the Noel Coward Theatre on June 28, 2006.
The cast of the musical currently includes Jon Robyns as Princeton and Rod, Simon Lipkin as Nicky and Trekkie Monster, Julie Atherton as Kate Monster and Lucy The Slut, Mary Doherty as Mrs T., Sion Lloyd as Brian, Delroy Atkinson as Gary Coleman, and Jennifer Tanarez as Christmas Eve.
The musical features lyrics and music by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and a book by Jeff Whitty. The creative team includes choreography by Ken Roberson, set design by Anna Louizos, costume design by Mirena Rada, lighting design by Howell Binkley, and puppet concept and design by Rick Lyon.
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 won the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book, and Best Musical.
