Hi all

With Avenue Q finishing in October I was wondering whether anybody else would be interested in going to see it as a group, in some cases for a second time (or more)

(Solari mentioned it ages ago so apologies for stealing the idea)

I was thinking of maybe Saturday 28th August.

Please let me know if anybody is interested

Definitely up for it there appears to be a 4:30 and an 8:30 showing - the former would be fine, the latter would require some re-arranging of other committments...

Seen it already, but would go again!

I'm at Chet's on the 28th though...

Oh flip forgot about chets :-( well dates can be flexible if we get an idea of who fancies it :-)

Chets is 20th-30th August : would the evening of Tuesday 31st work, perhaps?

I think after that much piano-ing, I might need some light-hearted entertainment

Another possible alternative is the weekend of 4th/5th September : though I'd be unavailable for the matinee on 4th. Bearing in mind Juniper may be working on 31st.

not working got some time off to child mind a parrot but I think that starts on Wednesday. Will check later and report back

Excellent Thanks for doing this, Juniper

Oooooooh I love Avenue Q, I saw it with my family and would love to see it again However I'm only 15 so I don't think my parents would let me go to the theatre with a group of people I met on an internet forum

Ooooh, count me in please! Aug 31st and Sep 4th/5th work for me (I'm also at Chets on the 28th). Love Avenue Q - seen it 3 times (but I promise I won't sing along )

Aw...why not?

Oh...sounds good...not seen it yet!!! I'm also at Chet's on the 28th but will wait until you decide on a date and see if I can make it. 31st might be too close to Chet's for me to be able to come along though. 4th/5th Sept would be better.
Can we sing??

The Internet is for... Internet is for....

I saw the Avenue Q song book in Chappell's the other week and was tempted to buy it...

What exactly is Avenue Q? - I've never heard of it.

Think Sesame Street for adults

I have it! Shall I bring it to Chets and then we can practise singing?

That'd be fun!!!!

Do it! Perhaps I should have a go at being Trekkie Monster!

Ok, well it looks like I'm going to have to travel back on the Tuesday for the parrot so that's out (and of course it is very close to Chets finishing). Now I know people are interested I'll check dates in September and October to see what suits.

Would weekdays be possible for people or are weekends the best for everybody?

Ideally, if you can avoid Tuesdays (band) and Thursdays (late teaching), that'd be good, but otherwise, I'm happy with a weekday. I'll ensure I don't schedule a 'cello lesson on top of it...

Ok, as a provisional date how do people feel about 18th October. It's a Monday I'm afraid but thought I'd put the idea out there and see what people think

yes please

18th October is good for me too!

Cool, well maybe we'll see who else fancies it in the next week or so and see about what ticket deals we can get

Thanks for doing this, Juniper

I'd certainly be interested! Sounds great. I've managed to miss Avenue Q so far and would love to see it before it leaves London.

Cool [Onion added to list]

Thank you!

Thanks, Juniper. 18 Oct looks doable at the moment, but can I confirm at the last minute? When are you thinking of booking?

Hiya. As it's a Monday I don't think tickets will fly out too much (there are plenty at the mo) I will keep an eye on it and should they start getting short I'll let you know that I have to book asap

Any more news on this, Juniper?

Hi all

I am afraid I'm going to have to bow out of this I'm going to be flying, training and driving all over the country this month and so it's all a bit too crazy I'm afraid

If others still want to go for it, there are some good deals on Q's website http://www.avenueqthemusical.co.uk/

Have fun if you do go

If there's anyone still interested, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. I think it might be nice to do at half term (w/c 25th Oct) if possible.

Very sorry you can't do it Juniper : sounds like you're going to be a very busy bee...

Awww, shame.

Btw, there was a Shrek musical on Broadway (though it just closed so I missed it). Wondering if there will be a London production...

I know I really wanted to see it again. At least I've seen it once.

Yup, Shrek is out in the spring 2011. I've seen the music and it looks great
