Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate, has just moved to this neighbourhood as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life. A tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead Princeton on a hilarious story of self-discovery. Life may suck on AVENUE Q but being jobless, homeless, politically incorrect, having sex (whether hetero, homo or porno. and that's just the puppets) are just some of the topics featured in the songs of this show. | | B/O Price | £15 - £39 (Sat £15 - £50) | | Length | 2hrs 15mins | | Review | | | Seating Plan | Seating Plan | | Map | Map |
