After taking Broadway by storm, 'Avenue Q' arrives in the West End for a limited run. Meet 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. 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 I remember any Sesame Street songs with the theme "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist".
This is a musical about the not-so highs and lows of real life, performed by actors, and by puppets. It is shot through with charming optimism and an appreciation of the simple pleasures of this humdrum life. Avenue Q is street smart, wry and extremely well produced - it is also uproariously funny and chimes brilliantly with British audiences
Avenue Q contains scenes which may be unsuitable for children under 12. Children under 5 are not admitted.
Planet Hollywood is a madhouse of giant proportions. From the scurrying waiters to the continuous soundtracks to the projection screen going up and down, to the sounds of happy kids, to the visual overload of a collection of museum-quality film memorabilia, Planet Hollywood's atmosphere is absolutely unique.
