Altona City Theatre is excited to invite you to our February 2011 premiere of Avenue Q.
The Victorian amateur premiere of AVENUE Q, the Tony award winning musical about a bunch of furry/felt characters who live on the very far outskirts of a New York borough. It kind of looks like that famous street that has charmed and educated generations of children, but with added sex, racism, schadenfreude and pornography.
AVENUE Q is a adult-oriented post-modern spoof on Sesame Street. Written by Jeff Whitty with music & lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, it opened on Broadway in 2003. Avenue Q went on to win 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical and has subsequently opened in various incarnations across the world, including in Melbourne.
