Avenue Q sees the arrival of Princeton (Luke Wilson) freshly out of College and Avenue Q, the cheap side of New York. There he meets the Super Intendant of the apartment blocks, Gary Coleman (Tayla Will) from TV’s Different Strokes. He also meets Kate Monster (Caitlin Corbel) who has a mutual affection for him, Brian (Matthew Anderson) and Christmas Eve (Kirsty Ashley) are also there to welcome him to the neighbourhood, as are Nicky (Brendan Faulks) and Rod (Tim Cooper) as he tries to find his purpose in life. Along the way he also meets Lucy (Annette Dawes) who tries to make him feel special, and Trekkie Monster (Scott Bailey) who is similar to Cookie Monster, but with an addiction of a different kind.
In many ways Avenue Q parallels Sesame Street in its educational values and parables life today as it addresses current issues such as relationships, racism, sexuality and the various uses of the internet. Although it does contain puppets it certainly is NOT FOR CHILDREN! Voted one of the funniest Broadway Musicals of all time by Entertainment Weekly, Avenue Q is a side splitting look at life in a really blunt way. Even if you don’t like musicals, this is not one to be missed!
