Broadway's Avenue Q is coming to Stockholm with an all-new, all-Swedish production.
The Tony Award-winning puppet musical Avenue Q has been adapted in to Swedish. To promote Avenue Q's upcoming debut at Maximteatern in Stockholm the cast appeared on Swedish TV last Friday. You can watch two of the show's songs, It Sucks To Be Me and I Wish I Could Go Back To College in Swedish on YouTube. If you've seen the show in English it's a little surreal in Swedish, but it looks really good.
The Swedish production's puppeteer cast was trained (and the puppets were presumably built) by Rick Lyon, who built the puppets for and was a member of the original Broadway cast.
If you're one of the six readers that Google Analytics tells me PuppetVision has in Sweden you're not going to want to miss this! More info on the show can be found (in Swedish of course) at www.avenueq.se.
24/02/07 Update: The show opened in Stickholm a week ago and according to Puppet Buzz, despite Rick Lyon's involvement in the show it was Scandinavia's Effektstudion and not him that built the puppets for it.
