Avenue Q at the Regal Theatre

AVENUE Q THE MUSICAL ‐ an unholy and hilarious alliance of humans and puppets ‐ opens at the Regal Theatre on Tuesday 17 November.

Directed by Jonathan Biggins, and featuring a stellar cast including Mitchell Butel, Michala Banas, Natalie Alexopoulos, David James, Luke Joslin, Christina O’Neill, Cherine Peck, Frank Hansen, Leah Howard, Josie Lane and Gus Murray, AVENUE Q comes to Perth after delighting audiences in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra this year.

AVENUE Q is not the most upmarket of New York streets, and is about as far away from Park Avenue as you can get, but it is home to some lively and off the wall characters performed by an unholy comedic alliance of humans and puppets.

Princeton, a bright‐eyed college graduate, has just moved to this neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever‐elusive purpose in life. A tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a hilarious story of self‐discovery.

Life may suck on AVENUE Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or porno...and that’s just the puppets) are just some of the topics featured in the terrific songs of this show. For those weaned on Sesame Street, the AVENUE Q puppets may look familiar, but with musical numbers like "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" and "If You Were Gay," this send‐up of political correctness isn't for the kiddies. 

Tickets on sale from Ticketek.
