NEWS: Chester readies itself for puppet invasion when Avenue Q comes to The Storyhouse



AVENUE Q TOUR ARRIVES AT
STORYHOUSE IN TWO WEEKS


Expect musical mischief and bad behaviour aplenty when the stars of the Tony Award-winning Avenue Q arrive at Storyhouse in Chesterlater this month.

The countdown is on until the stage’s naughtiest puppets set up home in Chester for one anarchic week.

Avenue Q comes to Storyhouse from Monday 25 February to Saturday 2 March 2019, including matinee performances on Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets are on sale now.

Hilarious, cheeky and uproariously entertaining, with a cast of 11 hugely talented performers and puppets, Avenue Q is a musical like no other.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and smash hit tours in 2014, 2015 and 2016, the show, written by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez – co-creator of Book of Mormon and writer of the songs for Disney’s Frozen, is an irresistibly charming tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues.

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account; Brian the out-of-work comedian and his therapist fiancée Christmas EveNicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican room-mate Rod; an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie MonsterLucy the Sl*t (the name says it all!); and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster.

Avenue Q first opened Off Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in 2003, before transferring to Broadway later that year where it won three Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. In 2006, it transferred to the West End where it ran for five years before touring the UK. It has appeared in more than 10 countries all over the world.

Avenue Q is produced by Selladoor Worldwide (producers of Footloose, Little Shop of Horrors, Flashdance – The Musical and Fame – The Musical), Showtime Theatre Productions, and in association with Richard Darbourne Limited. Avenue Q is directed and choreographed by Cressida Carré, designed by Richard Evans, lighting designed by Charlie Morgan Jones, and sound designed by Chris Bogg.  Puppets are designed by Paul Jomain of Q Puppets with puppet coaching by Nigel Plaskitt.

Please note the show is suitable for aged 14 upwards, and contains adult content and strong language.

Tickets for Avenue Q range in price from £20.50 to £35. Each ticket is subject to a £1.50 booking fee.

Storyhouse has a dynamic pricing policy on the majority of shows, ensuring the earlier you book your tickets, guarantees the best seats at the lowest price.
