Avenue Q’s a Hit

Local cast of Avenue Q …

The Hobart Repertory Theatre Society today announced that the Hobart season of the hit musical Avenue Q will be extended until August 4 at The Playhouse Theatre.

The Tony Award-winning Avenue Q opened last Friday night to strong reviews and a wonderful audience response, prompting the society to extend its season for another week past the original 28 July closing night.

President, Liz Lewinski said: “Hobart audiences have absolutely embraced Avenue Q, from music theatre fans to patrons who have never been to the theatre before, the audience reactions have been overwhelming.”

“The Hobart season of Avenue Q must close on Saturday, 4 August.”

If you’re a child at heart with a good sense of humour, it’s safe to say that AVENUE Q is right up your alley!

AVENUE Q contains scenes which may be unsuitable for children under 15. Yes, it’s full of puppets, but these aren’t the kind you’ll find on Sesame Street. So, parents, if your child isn’t old enough to see a musical that contains drinking, (puppet) sex and plenty of naughty words, then it’s time to call the babysitter!

We promise you this – AVENUE Q is an amazing musical with unforgettable songs, hilariously witty characters and a loveable nostalgia for simpler times. So you better get your tickets and head on over to the happiest place on earth – AVENUE Q!

AVENUE Q is on at The Playhouse Theatre, 106 Bathurst Street Hobart until August 4. Performances are 8:00 pm Wednesday to Saturday, with matinees on Sunday 22 July at 3:30 pm and Saturday 28 July at 2:00 pm. Book directly at Centertainment on 6234 5998 orwww.centertainment.com.au.
