Recently, we had the chance to speak with Emily Benjamin, who plays Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut in Avenue Q. We discussed what made her want to be a part of the revival, what it’s been like playing multiple puppet roles and even her favourite song from the show!
The 20th anniversary production of AVENUE Q has extended its limited run at London's Shaftesbury Theatre, with Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson Productions citing popular demand.
BrightSide Theatre announced its 15th season in Naperville, Illinois, featuring four productions: THE ADDAMS FAMILY, THE SECRET GARDEN: IN CONCERT, KEN LUDWIG'S BASKERVILLE, and AVENUE Q.
The Book of Mormon continues its robustly quirky, comedic, and intentionally offensive romp as it enjoys a much too-short touring run at the National Theatre in Washington, DC. Rushing to get tickets to this production would be a wise idea ---the phenomenon that is the Tony-winning The Book of Mormon has taken on new sparkle and sheen and just keeps bouncing along on the pathway of theatrical success.
On Avenue Q, puppets and people intermingle in this show about the trials and tribulations of life as a grown-up: love, sex, money, race, and how to tell your roommate he’s gay. After two decades, the three-time Tony Award-winning musical Avenue Q has returned to the West End in all its glory. With original Broadway director Jason Moore and original puppet designer Rick Lyon, a brand new cast takes on the puppet show with a difference.
The puppet show pumped full of profanity is back. Jason Moore's outrageous Avenue Q premiered in the West End two decades ago, bringing issues such as racism, the housing crisis and youth identity crisis to the stage in a unique and incredibly clever format. Oh yes, and there is explicit puppet sex too.

El próximo 2 de mayo y tras el éxito de su primera temporada, el musical AVENUE Q vuelve al Gran Teatro Caixabank Príncipe Pío de Madrid.
Skilled puppeteers who create a realistic world with only their voices, arms, and intention have always amazed me. The manipulators in a welcome reprise of Avenue Q, now playing through February 23 at Revolution Stage Company in Palm Springs, are no exception.
Avenue Q is a Multiple-Tony Award-winning musical about a group of friends trying to live out their dreams, despite such mundane obstacles as trying to hold a job. The show’s format is a parody of Sesame Street and utilizes puppets to handle adult themes such as racism, homosexuality, sex, drinking, and internet pornography.
