Phoenix Theatre welcomes the triple Tony-winning hit!

This triple-Tony winning hit and West End long-runner of five years will be raising the roof (and plenty of eyebrows) when it hits the Phoenix Theatre in 2016! Written by Robert Lopez, the lyricist of the Olivier-winning Book of Mormon and Disney's Frozen, this risque comedy musical comprises an unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets as they tell the off-the-wall story of a set of loveable characters who live on a New York Street. Join the gang as they use music and comedy to make sense of life, and its most pressing issues! One to definitely leave the kids at home for....

Not for the easily offended

Meet optimistic college graduate Princeton, who has just moved to this downtown NYC neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life. However, nothing seems to go as smoothly as he wanted!

Armed with a tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a wild and side-splittingly funny journey of growing up in the real world. Life may suck on Avenue Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or pornographic... and those are just the puppets!) are just some of the topics featured in the terrific songs.

Featuring searingly funny numbers including "It Sucks to Be Me", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", this is a cynic's delight as we see hopes and dreams crumble around felt ears.
