Meet Princeton, Kate Monster, Trekkie, Brian and their friends on a crummy alleyway in New York, as they find out what life is really all about and learn to love it despite the ups and downs. This anarchic musical uses Sesame Street-style puppets and the forms of an old school Gershwin musical, including a setting on the West Side, but describes life in entirely different, more... adult terms. Certainly, George Gershwin never wrote a number called "The Internet is for Porn", nor do I remember any Sesame Street songs with the theme "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist". Avenue Q is street smart, wry and extremely well produced. Shot through with charming optimism, crude sex jokes and an appreciation of the simple pleasures of this humdrum life it chimes brilliantly with British audiences.
Avenue Q contains scenes which may be unsuitable for children under 12. Children under 5 are not admitted.
However, it is safe to say that if you are an adult with a good sense of humour, then Avenue Q is right up your street!
Salvador & Amanda draws on the influences of what the Spanish call 'the real Spain', principally cities such as Madrid, Bilbao, Logrono and San Sebastian. Its philosophy is based on the golden triumvirate of Bar y Tapas y Fiesta. With a late license, capacity of 270, and its ideal placement on the boundary of Covent Garden and Soho, it lends itself perfectly to both hedonistic parties and meetings.
