Theatre Review – Avenue Q (Comedy Theatre VIC) – 4.5 Stars

It’s a bit of a chicken and egg conundrum as to whether this show appeals to so many people because it’s so funny, or whether it’s so funny because it appeals to almost everyone. Either way, it is laugh-out-loud funny for the whole time, and the story, themes, music and characters are instantly relatable. The live puppeteering, whilst noticeable at first, quickly feels completely natural to the show. This isn’t the kind of night out you’d take your conservative grandparents to, but I can’t imagine anyone with a sense of humour and open mind not enjoying Avenue Q.
