WATERDALE’s Avenue Directed by Daniel Cooper Musical Direction by Shelley Dunlop Puppetry Direction by Andrew McDougall Choreography by Daniel Cooper & Shelley Dunlop Produced by Stephanie Black From the Director Directing AVENUE Q has been a delightful challenge. In the thirteen years since it premiered the story, characters and songs have become an iconic part of the musical theatre canon. With such a beloved and recognisable show, it has been difficult to bring something new to AVE Q while still keeping what people know and love about it. This is what I hope we’ve done with our production. What I love about AVENUE Q is its earnestness and simplicity, traits that are inherent in the material that this show lovingly parodies, SESAME STREET. The creators of this show - Jeff Marx, Jeff Whitty and Robert Lopez - have clearly shown their work in the way they capture the spirit of the legendary show most of us grew up with. However they have also been clever in how they lampoon and further explore the themes at the heart of SESAME STREET and how they fit into adulthood. The most important of these themes are the ideas of everyone being special and having a purpose in life, which are reiterated all through our childhoods, but we often loose sight of when we grow up. The show understands that these ideals often disappear due to failure, loss and hardship. As such there is an underlying cynicism to Avenue Q, as we compromise on our dreams or resign ourselves to never even getting close. Despite this the show encourages us to keep going, as we never know what changes life will bring, as very few things are certain and almost everything is for now. The only thing we can do is learn from the lessons life teaches us and grow. All this in a show featuring puppet sex and songs about porn. I hope you enjoy our production of Avenue Q, and that you have as much fun watching it as we had doing it.
