AVENUE Q

Premiere: 4.10.2014

Do you think your sense of humor is specific? When you joke, does everyone around you shut up? Or do you like “South Park” or “The Muppet Show” and your childhood ruined “Sesame Street”? If so, this musical is made for you! Politically incorrect, blunt, touching on topics that others prefer to keep silent about. Grotesque, entertaining with exaggerated humor. The main character enters adult life in search of a goal, and he is helped by dolls guided by one rule: They will say everything you would like to say on a daily basis, but it does not come out. Winner of Tony Awards, including Best Musical of 2004. The American show has seen many productions around the world, including in London's West End. For the first time in Poland - the show is at the same time a show of puppet possibilities performed by the masters of comedy from Gdynia Muzyczny - Sasha Reznikow, Magdalena Smuk, Mateusz Deskiewicz and others!

Director about the play: It seems to me that dolls can expose a person better than a person himself. They show how weak and ridiculous we are in these weaknesses and how similar we are to each other in experiencing different emotions, reactions, reflexes (...) AVENUE Q is about young people who are forced to collide their childhood dreams of the future with the harsh reality of life. This is a topic close to all those who have just graduated or are a few years after graduation - Magdalena Miklasz

A performance for adult viewers who can look at themselves and their lives from a distance (M. Omachel-Kwidzyńska, eratuszgwynia.pl)

As it turns out, we are also similar to each other regardless of the language we use every day, skin color, sexual orientation or latitude. And certainly both the actors and the puppets of the Gdynia production AVENUE Q can convince us of this effectively (W. Fulek)

I tap the keyboard with one hand, and I put the other on my heart and admit — I have never been so amused by any performance before (W. Pochylska, CDN)
