The musical first opened Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in 2003, before transferring to Broadway later that year where it won three Tony Awards. In 2006 it transferred to the West End produced by Cameron Mackintosh, where it ran for five years before touring the UK.
The story focuses on Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.
Soon discovering that the only neighborhood in his price range is Avenue Q, he finds himself moving in with some truly quirky characters.
There’s Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster.
And would you believe the building’s superintendent is Gary Coleman?!
The new tour is produced by Sell a Door Theatre Company and starts on Wednesday 22 April 2015 at Colchester’s Mercury Theatre.
