Lewis Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Has anyone been to see Avenue Q? **"May be inappropriate for 12 years of age and under." - from the website** I'm going to London on Wednesday with my friends to see it. The train there and back, and tickets to see it is £18.50 - bargain! I downloaded the album a while back and think its really funny. Theres a few clips of it on youtube if you haven't heard of it, Schadenfreude is good, but I won't link to it because of the age limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I first heard about them when they were on the Scott Mills show a few weeks ago. He was looking for ideas for his Scott Mills; The Musical for the Edingburgh festival and they came on. They seem very cheeky and sound lots of fun so I think you will have a great time.

Geoid Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I went a few years ago, it was amazing! A great laugh! The actors interacted with the crowd too. Schadenfreude is good It is! I like the internet one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have wanted to see it FOREVER but have never got round to it If you go have a wonderful time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 The songs are stuck in my head now Should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've seen it twice, once with hubby then with my sisters as a birthday present - it is very funny, very adult and highlights 'non pc' traits in a way only a musical could get away with. We call it Sesame Street for adults - enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My daughter went with her year as a "treat" from her school (we had to pay for said treat and for the coach trip - in fact I don't know why they called it a treat at all). She absolutely hated it. I think it's one of those things like marmite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ness3103 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 i took my 16 year old son to see it last year and we both loved it although there was one part where we both felt not cool sitting with your mum when a bedroom scene comes up it was a really good show and we both have the t-shirts and cd's now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm looking forward to it, I'm sure it'll be better to go with teenagers rather than parents I'll have a look at the t-shirts aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ness3103 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 we both got the 'It sucks to be me' t-shirts have to say whenever i've worn it people have made comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 It was really good! The set and lighting were really clever, and watching it made all the songs make sense No t-shirts, you have to get them from the online shop. *age warning of 12 as per the website* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
