Puppets seem to be the flavour of the month at Altona City Theatre. Earlier this year it was Princeton and Kate Monster and the kooky crew from Avenue Q. And what a fabulous production it was. But the Altona stage is about to be taken over by a puppet of a very different ilk. Move over Trekkie, here comes Audrey II and she’s HUNGRY.
Avenue Q was recently named in American magazine Entertainment Weekly as the best musical of the decade, for breaking the mould with its Sesame Street-for-grown-ups concept and X-rated puppets.
