Variety reports that Avenue Q is currently aiming to premiere in London in February 2006 at the Theater Royal, Stratford East. The show is then hoping to transfer to the West End if it's received successfully. The out of town tryout will be in a 450-seat venue, and is expected to have an all-British cast.

Avenue Q next opens in Las Vegas on September 3rd, where the show will play on a 10-performance schedule, with two shows a night at 6:30 PM and 10 PM (as well as two dark nights).

A send-up of Sesame Street and other children's shows, Avenue Q mixes profanity and tenderness in its story of wordly but still hopeful puppets and humans looking for love, success and purpose. The show won the Best Musical Tony in 2004, as well as Best Book (Jeff Whitty) and Best Score (Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez). Jason Moore directed the Broadway production, and Garry Adler served up the musical direction. Tartaglia, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Rick Lyon, Ann Harada and Jennifer Barnhart were among the puppeteers and performers of the original cast.
