Adult laughs aplenty with Avenue Q at the New Theatre

Liz Day takes a look at the irreverent puppet musical Avenue Q ,with songs which would make a Muppet blush. Although, its X-rated humour has proved a big hit with audiences across the globe and ,this week, Cardiff was no different.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Avenue Q is a mischievous and irreverent coming-of-age tale, which satirises the anxieties of modern adulthood.

Set on a fictional street in the outskirts of New York, the musical follows the trials and tribulations of a group of neighbours, who have become disenchanted with their lives, as summed up by the song It Sucks to be Me.

Katy B is one of those artists who has grown up with a clash of urban influences within London which is a hotbed for new talent and a diverse musical environment.

It could have been easy for the 21 year old to ride the wave of the latest trend but she manages to break through with a fresh sound in her album On a Mission.
