Avenue Q (One Night and Matinee) - Sondheim Theatre

Echo everything said here, felt so good to be back down the avenue, even a more French avenue this time

That was amazing. The few sound issues didn't distract too much as all the cast were brilliant.
Got quite emotional at parts. The atmosphere was great, there were some pretty dedicated fans out there.
They went for a pretty predictable update which I'd expected in "For Now" but it got a massive cheer.

Absolutely loved this and brought back so many memories.
As mentioned sound was hit and miss at times but, to be honest, acceptable and didn't spoil it.
Cast were having a ball. Loved the adlibs.
The puppets voices were exactly as I remembered them.
Simon,Jon and Julie were an absolute joy to watch.
Great audience full of Ave Q fans. I even saw a man with a puppet!
As we were walking out I heard one of the FOH announce that there was very limited merchandise left. Hopefully they have kept some back for the evening I would say head straight to the merch if you want anything.

A fantastic show at today's matinee!

The audience atmosphere was electric - I was probably the man with the puppet that Alec10 mentioned lol. I had to bring my Trekkie Monster to see the show! Believe it or not it was the first time my wife and I have seen it but after watching our favourite songs on YouTube for months it was amazing to finally see the show performed.

Simon Lipkin in particular was fantastic, I'd love to see his Fagin now. The whole cast was on top form and as others have said, the ad libs really made this a special event. They looked to be having as much fun as the rest of us.

Using the Les Mis buildings worked very well, and made it feel less of a concert version and more of a staged production.

I hope everyone going to the evening show has just as good an experience.

For once sound cues weren’t the problem, it was the sound of the band. It completely overpowered everyone without a puppet in particular.

Sound was better than I expected having read about some concerts but there were issues throughout. None spoiled my afternoon one bit (even though Crosscountry and West Midland Trains tried to). 

I think I only saw the complete original cast once but it started a love for Simon Lipkin that at times borders on obsessive (it’s normal to go to Chichester 3 times for his Fagin right?) it has been great seeing Giles career skyrocket too! 

I loved this concert! Great use of the sides of the Les Mis set and the line flubs and adlibs really added to the event. At times there was feedback or overpowering sound and a couple of missed mic cues but it’s a one day only deal! Compromises have to be made. 

The £10 brochure has a cool photo page. Shame no updated photos of Ann or Giles but understandable. I didn’t go for a T-shirt. Shame that they run out at events like this (though tricky saying hold half for the evening upsetting matinee goers who are too late so a tricky balance). 

I loved this so much. (I cut short a trip to Alton Towers to go, such is my love for it. Stafford to Eastleigh via London by train has been interesting!)

Really enjoyed the matinee. Thought Simon was particularly fabulous. There were a few points where people were drowned out by the band, but didn’t really matter.

Was there at the matinee, sat front row of grand circle. I thought there was a few sound issues with the band overpowering the singing particularly the non puppet characters but it didn’t detract from it too much, just so pleased to see it again. Lots of love for the show from the audience.

I do wish you could preorder programs at these one off concerts. Luckily I managed to get one as we saw the matinee today but when we’ve done the second show (like Bare for example) all the programs had already sold out, I understand it must be hard to predict how many to print but it’s so annoying!

Thoroughly enjoyed myself this evening. I’d forgotten how much I loved this show. It was bloody marvellous

Some premium seats had a signed programme included

Also why has Rod's hair changed from ginger to brown?!

What a superb evening being reacquainted with such a great show, five stars from me.
The only thing I missed being Trekkie's password joke. What was the password can anyone share.
