Selladoor Productions have announced that the Avenue Q UK Tour is back in January 2019 with musical theatre's naughtiest puppets returning to the stage starting at the Portsmouth Kings Theatre.

The Avenue Q UK Tour is back in 2019. Written by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez (co-creator of The Book Of Mormon and Disney's Frozen), this wildly hilarious musical creation beat Wicked to the Tony Award for Best Musical.

Avenue Q ran for five years in London's West End and has toured the UK numerous times. It's a show that takes is politically incorrect, full of bad behaviour and mischief!

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 Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster, Lucy the Slut (the name says it all!) and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster. Featuring hysterically funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a hilarious musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart.

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 ten countries all over the world.

The cast for the 2019 Avenue Q UK tour includes Megan Armstrong, Jasmine Beel, Ellis Dackombe, Chloe Gentles, Nicholas Mclean, Robbie Noonan, Saori Oda, Cecily Redman, Lawrence Smith, Oliver Stanley and Tom Steedon

The Avenue Q UK Tour is produced by Selladoor Worldwide with Richard Darbourne Limited. The production 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.

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