I finally got the chance to see Avenue Q whilst attending the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, but that version is a 90-minute edited version (see link at bottom of review). While in London this past week I had noticed the London premiere of Avenue Q was on 6-1-06 and I managed to get tickets, albeit with an obstructed view.
It was the same play as in Vegas, only longer. I have to say the missing bits weren’t that important and the pace of the Vegas production was better. But the London show itself was considerably better. The only concession to the UK was changing the “Bar” sign to a “Pub” sign — everything else was still New York, and as I said before it is definitely a New York play.
I highly recommend this play. If you’ve got a sense of humour, you’ll love this play. You can learn more about “Avenue Q” at their main website at: http://www.avenueq.com/
