Avenue Q to move to Wyndham's Theatre
Hit West End musical Avenue Q is relocating to Wyndham's Theatre.
Friday, 22 January 2010
It has been announced that Avenue Q is to move to its third West End home this year instead of closing.
The hit musical is currently showing at the Gielgud Theatre, but has to make room for Hair, which transfers there in April.
However, demand for the puppet-based show is still so strong that producers have opted to relocate it rather than posting closing notices.
Avenue Q will therefore close on March 13th at the Gielgud, before reopening on March 19th in its new home.
This year marks Avenue Q's fifth year in the West End after it premiered at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2006.
"It is just fabulous that audiences are still hysterical with laughter into our fifth year, with its witty and timely songs being as pertinent as ever," said producer Cameron Mackintosh.
Avenue Q is billed as "pant-wettingly funny" and deals hilariously with subjects as diverse as racism, internet porn, being gay and what exactly to do with a BA in English.
