Avenue Q

5
Seen at the Edinburgh Fringe, St Stevens

By Derek,edfringe24 - 12th Aug 2024

Who would believe puppets could be such fun? And so dirty! Avenue Q is as funny as ever, and expertly presented in this production. Excellent characterisation by all the performers ensure we buy in to the ridiculous idea. The script and lyrics are cynical, honest and hilarious, delivered with a charming innocent boldness. No favourites, but Princeton and Christmas Eve… brilliant. Get away from PC, woke and all the buzzwords and accept the reality- everyone is a little bit racist. Or so one of their best songs claims.
