When the show first opened on Broadway, it broke all the rules \u2013 it was bold, funny, and full of heart, speaking honestly about growing up and finding your place in the world. Two decades later, its message feels more relevant than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis revival is a love letter to the original production and to everyone who\u2019s ever seen a bit of themselves in the residents of <em>Avenue Q<\/em>. We can\u2019t wait to reintroduce this brilliantly irreverent, endlessly uplifting show to London audiences once again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lsbo.co.uk\/musical\/-avenue-q\">book tickets for the show here<\/a>.
