ABOUT IMAGES  
Avenue QMeet Princeton, Kate Monster, Trekkie, Brian and their friends on a crummy alleyway in New York as they find out what life is really all about and learn to love it despite the ups and downs. Avenue Q took a brief hiatus from the limelight but now it's reopened in its new venue, the Gielgud Theatre, to begin its fourth year in the West End. This anarchic musical uses Sesame Street-style puppets and the forms of an old school Gershwin musical, including a setting on the West Side, but describes life in entirely different, more... adult terms. Certainly, George Gershwin never wrote a number called The Internet is for Porn, nor do we remember any Sesame Street songs with the theme Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. Avenue Q is street smart, wry and extremely well-produced. Shot through with charming optimism, crude sex jokes and an appreciation of the simple pleasures of this humdrum life it chimes brilliantly with British audiences.
