Along with Sticky T. and Evil Edna I went along to see Avenue Q The Musical at the Noël Coward Theatre in St Martin’s Lane, London on Monday evening.
Having read a number of reviews I booked the tickets through Lastminute.com but in reality was not quite sure what to expect from the show. However within minutes of it starting we were all hooked and very happy with our lot. The humour, the lyrics, the tunes and the acting were all very good indeed and the next two hours quickly passed by, as the story about puppets living on Avenue Q played out in front of us. We learnt through some very catch tunes, that we are all just a little bit racist and that the internet is primarily for Porn! Avenue Q in my view is best described as Sesame Street meets Rocky Horror and frankly it was a great combination of music and humour.
We were also lucky enough to bag front of house seats, so with great views of the stage things could not have been better. The theatre itself was pretty full, the service at the bars was prompt and curteous and overall the experience was very positive indeed.
