Two London musical hits - the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita and the transfer of the Broadway hit Avenue Q - have extended their runs.

The London production of Avenue Q at the Noël Coward Theatre (formely the Albery Theatre) has scheduled a 'Midnight Matinee' for Monday 22nd January 2007. The performance will be a special event to raise funds for TheatreCares, the proceeds of which will be invaluable to people affected by HIV and AIDS. Beginning at 11:30pm, long after all of the other West End theatres have locked up for the night, the performance will run through midnight into the early hours of Tuesday morning.
