Fantasies Come True – Avenue Q is returning to the West End!

Ad

If you're not familiar with the 2004 Tony award-winning musical, then it's time to get familiar. Imagine Sesame Street meets Rent; we're talking foul-mouthed puppets bemoaning their current state of affairs. It's a parody of both gritty realism and children's puppet shows, and the result is a truly hilarious and rude show.

The last West End run of Avenue Q took place 15 years ago, so we're well overdue a good old revival. The 2026 production will be directed by original Broadway director Jason Moore and will also star the original Broadway puppets.

We'd definitely recommend this one for fans of The Book of Mormon, as the two musicals share a similar tongue-in-cheek edgy sense of humour. Avenue Q will be playing a limited run at the Shaftesbury Theatre, so here's how you can get your hands on tickets today.
