'Work is like playtime' for Avenue Q's cast
Avenue Q is one of the most enjoyable West End musicals for cast members.
Friday, 26 March 2010
Avenue Q is one of the hardest West End musicals for actors - but also one of the most fun to be involved in, according to Cassidy Janson.
The critically-acclaimed musical features both humans and puppets, and is often described as an adult version of Sesame Street.
While the Avenue Q audience are often reduced to fits of giggles by the show, actors can find it tough.
Janson told WhatsOnStage TV she found it really difficult to master operating the puppets when she joined the Avenue Q cast in October 2009.
But, now she has grasped walking and talking in synch with the furry stars of the musical, Janson is thrilled to be involved with a smash hit show.
"It's great when you look out and see rows of people just dying with laughter - it's very healing. Coming to work is like playtime, it's the best job I've ever done," she added.
Avenue Q, which moved to Wyndham's Theatre earlier this month, is currently booking until September 25th 2010.
