Avenue Q

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The hilarious musical ‘Avenue Q’ is on the move once again. It finishes its run at the Gielgud Theatre in London, in March. In April, the Broadway revival of ‘Hair’ takes over at the Gielgud. Over at Wyndham’s theatre Stephen Daldry’s production of ‘An Inspector Calls’ has won an award and closes on 13th March. ‘Avenue Q’ opens there on 19th March. Theatre tickets for all these shows are on sale now.

Avenue Q is a spoof of the children’s television favourite ‘Sesame Street’ and most of the leading characters are puppets. The songs are certainly rude, but arguably very funny and include unusual titles such as ‘Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist’ and ‘What Do You Do With A BA In English?’

Daniel Boys plays Princeton and Rod. His previous theatre credits include tours of ‘Rent’, ‘Grease’ and ‘Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds.’

Edward Baruwa plays the janitor Gary Coleman. He has previously appeared in the West End in ‘Porgy and Bess’, ‘Jerry Springer, The Opera’ and ‘Dancing in the Streets’ in which he played Lionel Richie.

Christopher Fry plays Brian. He has appeared on our television screens in programmes such as ‘State of Play.’ His previous stage credits include ‘The Hot Mikado’ and ‘Oh What a Lovely War.’

Avenue Q

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Avenue Q is in its fourth glorious year in London’s West End and has just extended booking. Theatre tickets for this fantastic show are now available for dates through until March 2010.

Cassidy Janson has now taken over the roles of Lucy the Slut and Kate Monster. Cassidy has already attracted attention as Elphaba in ‘Wicked’ and also appeared in the big budget musical ‘Only the Brave’ at the Edinburgh Festival last year.

The show has been described as “pant wettingly funny”, which sums it up nicely. From the moment the curtain raises on a set reminiscent of children’s top television show ‘Sesame Street’ and the Avenue Q theme plays, you’ll lose yourself completely. If you should look around the audience you will see people completely carried away with gloriously stupid grins plastered across their faces.

The fantastically funny songs often border on the politically incorrect but are saved always by warmth and the fact that a puppet can say and do things and cause far less offence than a person would.

‘Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist’, ‘If You Were Gay’, ‘The Internet is for Porn’, ‘You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want’ and ‘Schadenfreude’ are just some of the show stopping numbers in this fantastic musical.

We at Concierge Desk love theatre and we love bringing the best deals in London theatre tickets to you. Add to that fantastic offers on pre-show meals at some of London’s top restaurants and you can see why so many people use our services for theatre tickets.

Avenue Q playing at the Geilgud theatre in London

Monday, October 19th, 2009

If you enjoy some comedy and you like musicals then Avenue Q is the show to watch. This phenomenal performance is a must see. It is vulgar, obscene but loads of fun.

Avenue Q is playing at the Geilgud theatre in London, and since the show opened 4 years ago, it has received many standing ovations and plenty of positive feedback. To book theatre tickets for this outstanding show, visit Concierge Desk online.

Concierge Desk makes the theatres London has to offer much more accessible. Here at Concierge Desk, you can book the best theatre tickets to watch Avenue Q within seconds. You can also have a look at other shows playing in various theatres in London.

What’s Avenue Q all about?

Avenue Q is set in a mythical New York City block that is occupied by a crazy group of puppets with names like kooky Christmas Eve, Sloppy Nicky, Porn- happy Trekkie Monster and Bimbo- licious Lucy the slut. These characters are just as crazy as their names. They are constantly swearing and teach silly life lessons.

This show is no Sesame Street! Although only children under 5 are not admitted, taking your 10 year old might not be such a good idea. The strong language and vulgar scenes are not really suitable for under 12s.

So, if you are looking for a great laugh and enjoy watching puppets acting rude, then book your theatre tickets for Avenue Q here at Concierge Desk as soon as possible.

Fun for the adults
