The Tony Award winning musical Avenue Q is returning to Australia from May 2027. Created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez , co-creator of The Book of Mormon and Disney's Frozen, Avenue Q is an irresistibly charming and furry tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life's burning issues.

Fresh out of college with a useless degree, big dreams and absolutely no idea what he's doing, Princeton moves to New York City and winds up on Avenue Q. There he meets a neighbourhood of puppet misfits trying to figure out the same things the rest of us are: how to find a job, fall in love, pay the bills, survive adulthood and maybe stop looking at porn for five minutes. Spoiler: they're not particularly good at any of it.

Featuring hysterically funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone's A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a hilarious musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart. Think the fuzzy puppet nostalgia of your childhood, except everyone grew up, moved into a questionable share house and discovered sex, unemployment, racism, relationships, rent and the internet.

An all-news Australian production, Avenue Q will be directed by Luke Joslin , who is returning to the block in a sort of landlord capacity as Director, after playing Trekkie Monster in the original Australian production.

Hilarious, cheeky and uproariously entertaining, with a cast of 11 hugely talented performers and puppets, Avenue Qis the musical like no other and above all, is very, very funny.
