Avenue Q is returning to the West End for its 20th anniversary, with the original Broadway puppets moving into the Shaftesbury Theatre in March 2026.
Fresh out of college and searching for his purpose, Princeton ends up in a shabby apartment on New York’s rundown Avenue Q. He quickly meets his new and colourful neighbours where together they navigate the life struggles of work, love and paying the bills in their own hilarious way.
With music & lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and book by Jeff Whitty, the revival production of Avenue Q, based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, will see the return of many of the original Broadway team, including director Jason Moore, with music orchestrations and arrangements by Stephen Oremus, original Broadway puppets conceived and designed by Rick Lyon, and set design by Anna Louizos.
Joining them for this anniversary production will be choreographer Ebony Molina with casting by Pearson Casting and other new UK creatives to be announced.
It is produced by Kevin McCollum and Jamie Wilson Productions.
Avenue Q first opened in the West End in 2006 at the Noël Coward Theatre, before transferring to the Gielgud Theatre, followed by the Wyndham’s Theatre, where it played its final performance on October 30, 2010. A special concert production was performed at the Sondheim Theatre in 2024 to celebrate the show’s 18th anniversary.
Avenue Q plays Shaftesbury Theatre for a strictly limited season from Friday, March 20, 2026 to Saturday, August 29, 2026.
