Avenue Q (2006-06-London Run)
Type de série: Original LondonThéâtre: London Run (Londres - Angleterre)Durée : 4 ans 4 mois Nombre : 1725 représentationsPremière Preview : Thursday 01 June 2006Première : Wednesday 28 June 2006Dernière : Saturday 30 October 2010Mise en scène : Jason Moore • Chorégraphie : Ken Roberson • Producteur : Commentaires : Ce London Run se jouera dans trois théâtres: le Noel Coward Theatre (1 Juin 2006 au 28 Mars 2009), le Gielgud Theatre (1/6/2009 au 13/3/2010) et enfin le Wyndham's Theatre (19/3/2010 au 30/10/2010).Commentaires longs: The novelty of this show was several of the characters being puppets – puppets bearing a similarity to the children’s TV series “Sesame Street”, but this time with very adult themes of racism, homosexuality and pornography. The puppets are “worked” by actors in full sight, but the other characters react only to the puppets. The show premiered off-Broadway in 2002, and quickly moved to Broadway itself in July 2003 where it ran until September 2009 – 2,534 performances. Within a few weeks of its closure, a smaller version of the show was revived at the West 50th Street off-Broadway complex, and is still running (as of December 2011)
Several changes were made for the London production, including the portrayal of the Gary Coleman character by a male actor. The production was very successful and developed a cult following, transferring to other theatres in the course of its five-year run. It finally closed on September 25th 2010. The Independent critic noted: “. . .the spirit of Avenue Q is humane and healthy. After all, it’s not every show that manages to be tongue-in-cheek and hand-on-heart, while having its arm up a puppet’s bum.”Presse : MICHAEL BILLINGTON du THE GUARDIAN: "It had delighted me sufficiently...Much of the show's charm lies in the easy interaction of people and puppets...There is more wit than whimsy in the delightful Lopez-Marx numbers."
PAUL TAYLOR du THE INDEPENDENT: "What's appealing about the piece and Jason Moore's bouncy, enjoyable production is the total absence of jaded cynicism. What's less attractive is the lack of real bite...Avenue Q is about as genuinely subversive as Friends...All the same, I found it, intermittently, a lot of fun."
DOMINIC CAVENDISH du THE DAILY TELEGRAPH; "Light-weight affair."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE du THE TIMES: "There’s something almost refreshing in several of the jaunty-sounding songs."
NICK CURTIS du THE EVENING STANDARD: "Avenue Q's puppets tell racist jokes, screw around, download porn and generally get depressed by their crappy lives...very well executed and sporadically hilarious "
BRIAN LOGAN du TIME OUT: "Very easy to enjoy."
LISA MARTLAND du THE STAGE: "Clever and saucy libretto...Within an extraordinarily talented ensemble Julie Atherton and Jon Robyns are quite brilliant in creating these puppet personalities."
SUSANNAH CLAP du THE OBSERVER: "It's a little bit smart , fairly shrewd and self-parodying , constantly perky, sometimes funny and basically mushy."

A number of the fairy-tale characters were changed, and several songs were cut to shorten the running time of the show. Most of the reviews were enthusiastic, with especial praise for the praise for the “hysterically funny” Nigel Harman. In October 2011 Kimberley Walsh (from the pop group Girls Aloud) took over the role of Princess Fiona when Amanda Holden announced her pregnancy. Further cast changes occurred at the end of February 2012, when Dean Chisnall took over the role of Shrek, and Neil McDermott took over as Lord Farquaad. In May 2012 Carley Stenson took over the role of Princess Fiona. The show extended its booking period and announced it will close in February 2013.Presse : "Blessed with a likeable mixture of wit and humanity...Shrek sets out to do no more than entertain, and in this it succeeds handsomely...Shrek certainly doesn’t rank among the musical greats, but it offers an engaging couple of hours of family fun" Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
"Sentiment, beauty and haunting melody are absent. But Shrek is energetically amusing." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"Though there's warmth and wit here, it's not a monster hit." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"What I love principally about the show, directed with great charm and elating zip by Jason Moore and Rob Ashford, is its delightfully uncynical freshness of spirit. " Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Although Shrek stems from the 2001 DreamWorks film, it is genuinely theatrical, generous-spirited and mercifully free of the sensory bombardment that afflicts some of its rivals. What it lacks is memorable tunes." Michael Billington for The Guardian
