Review: AVENUE Q, Shaftesbury Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Apr 17, 2026

Jason Moore's outrageous Avenue Q premiered in the West End two decades ago, bringing issues such as racism, the housing crisis and youth identity crisis to the stage in a unique and incredibly clever format. Oh yes, and there is explicit puppet sex too.
