Avenue Q will reopen at the Gielgud Theatre on 1 June after a month-long break. The show has done surprisingly well recently, at least in part because of a realistic pricing policy.
I think it is great news that this favourite show will not be closing after all and so does Cameron Mackintosh:
“When I first saw Avenue Q over five years ago, I found it a very funny, fresh and clever look at the trials and tribulations of young people finding their way in life.So I was rather surprised when the show opened in 2006 that the British national critics mostly didn’t get it.
Three years later Q is going stronger than ever, so much so that ever since I announced its closure business has surged.
Cameron Mackintosh, producer of Avenue Q
The show will move into the Gielgud after Alan Bennett’s play Enjoy finishes its run on 16 May. Meanwhile at the Noel Coward Theatre, Avenue Q makes way for the highly anticipated stage version of the film Calendar Girls opening on April 4th.
