Avenue Q Hits Brisbane

Local News, By hazyinseptember, 27th January, 2010

While Brisbane will host many stage shows this year, few will be quite as fun, riotous and deliciously twisted as the Tony Award winning Avenue Q.

Described as an X-rated mix of South Park, The Muppet Show and Sesame Street, you can expect to hear classic numbers from the show like The Internet is for Porn, If You Were Gay and Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.

Opening in Broadway in 2003, it has won awards for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score, is still a hit on Broadway and is playing its fourth year in London’s West End.

Proceeds from the Brisbane premiere are going to the Queensland Association for Healthy Communities (QAHC), who do a so much great work for Brisbane’s GLBTI community.

Avenue Q premiere is on Friday February 19 at the Playhouse Theatre, QPAC and runs until March 14. Tickets for the premiere are $63 (+ $3 booking fee ). For tickets and more information head to Avenue Q’s website.

Wonder how it will stack up to the production I saw in London in 2008? Wonder where it will be different or whether, like most musicals these days, it is the same (the perils of franchising....)?

Have been waiting for a while and I'm really looking forward to this one. "I'm kinda pretty and pretty darn smart. I like romantic things like music and art and as you know I have a gigantic heart, so why don't I have a boyfriend? FUCK! It sucks to be me!" Truer words never muppet sung.
