Moving from Sesame Street to Avenue Q
With song titles such as ‘Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist’ and ‘The Internet is for Porn’, there is no shirking of uncomfortable realities. However, the Tony Award-winning show is not mired in negativity. It is a musical about growing up, dreaming big, being let down, sometimes hitting rock-bottom, but ultimately finding purpose in life.
Produced by UK touring company, Sell a Door Theatre Company, the show is inspired by the children’s programme, Sesame Street — but it’s for audiences aged 14 and over. A parable, it pokes fun at the issues that pre-occupy young people as they navigate their way into the adult world.
