AN award-winning comedy musical which was a smash hit on Broadway, in the West End and worldwide is coming to Winchester’s Theatre Royal this month. 

Avenue Q will be bringing a host of fuzzy friends to the venue from July 17 – 19.

Featuring the naughtiest puppets in town, brought hilariously to life by an ensemble cast of 11 performers, Avenue Q is a Tony Award-winning musical about growing up, dreaming big, and finding your purpose in life.

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. Soon discovering that the only neighbourhood in his price range is Avenue Q, he finds himself moving in with some truly quirky characters.

Avenue Q was co-created by Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Robert Lopez, who also co-created the smash-hit Broadway and West End musical The Book of Mormon.

With his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert also co-wrote the songs for Disney’s recent animated feature Frozen including the Oscar-winning Let It Go.

This prodcution of Avenue Q is produced by Sell a Door Theatre Company, formed in 2007 to create touring theatre aimed at teens and young adults with the ambition to attract young audiences and to excite them to the possibilities of theatre.

Their recent productions include Seussical in the West End and the debut UK tour of Spring Awakening. It is co-produced by Richard Darbourne Ltd.

Tickets: £26, concessions £23.50, friends £23, schools/groups £16.
