Fantastic musical ‘Avenue Q’ set to return to Romford.

The naughtiest puppets in town are coming back to the Brookside Theatre later this month as Avenue Q returns with all of your favourite fuzzy friends.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and smash hit tours in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness!) Tony Award-winning Musical, created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez – Co-creator of Book of Mormon and writer of the songs for Disney’s Frozen, is an irresistibly charming tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues.

Avenue Q first opened Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in 2003, before transferring to Broadway later that year where it won three Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. In 2006 it transferred to the West End where it ran for five years before touring the UK. It has appeared in more than ten countries all over the world.

In April 2014, the theatre produced a critically-acclaimed production of the show and are delighted to be celebrating the 10th anniversary by bringing the show back to Romford.

The cast of this 10th anniversary production includes Chris Gannon as ‘Princeton/Rod’ (Godspell in Concert  – Lyric Theatre; Singin’ In The Rain – Adelphi Theatre), Danielle De-Salis Cross as ‘Kate Monster’ (Thoroughly Modern Millie – Adelphi Theatre) and Candy Ma as ‘Christmas Eve’ (Avenue Q – Gielgud Theatre / Noël Coward Theatre; The King & I – Dominion Theatre/UK Tour).

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster, Lucy the Sl*t (the name says it all!) and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster. Featuring hysterically funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a hilarious musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart.

Avenue Q is produced by the awarding-winning team at the Brookside Theatre behind recent productions including The Little Mermaid, Elf The Musical & Stepping Out. The production is directed and choreographed by Harri Sepple, produced and designed by Jai Sepple with puppets designed by Paul Jomain of Q Puppets.

Hilarious, cheeky and uproariously entertaining, with a cast of 11 hugely talented performers and puppets, Avenue Q is the musical like no other, strictly for adult boys and girls only.

Avenue Q runs at the Brookside Theatre, Romford from 24th April – 4th May 2024 – to book please visit www.brooksidetheatre.com so don’t be a muppet and book your tickets today!
