Seymour Performers Workshop is excited to announce its mid-year production for 2024 will be the Tony award-winning production Avenue Q The Musical.
Winner of the Tony “triple crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is described as a “laugh-out-loud musical” that tells the timeless story of a recent college graduate named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q.
He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighbourhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.
Filled with gut-busting humour and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favourite for audiences everywhere.
Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show, depicting a place where puppets are friends, monsters are good, and life lessons are learned.
After appearing in last year’s production of Legally Blonde the Musical, Thomas Boyd is stepping into the role of director for Avenue Q.
“I’m excited to be directing my first production with Seymour Performers Workshop,” he said.
“We’re looking for a super talented cast of singers and actors, if you’re handy with a puppet that won’t go astray either.”
Avenue Q will be performed at the Seymour Community Arts Centre on May 18, 19, 25 and 26.
Auditions will be held on Friday, February 9 and Sunday, February 11.
