Avenue Q features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and a book by Jeff Whitty, based on an original concept by Lopez and Marx. In the show, singing puppets and their human neighbors tackle life's most vexing issues—including love, sex, money, race and how to tell your roommate he's gay.

The West End cast of Avenue Q will feature Jon Robyns as Princeton and Rod, Simon Lipkin as Nicky and Trekkie Monster, Julie Atherton as Kate Monster and Lucy The Slut, Clare Foster as Mrs T., Naoko Mori as Christmas Eve, Sion Lloyd as Brian and Giles Terera as Job. The company also includes Luke Evans, Matthew J. Henry, Gloria Onitiri, Gabriel Vick and Yanle Zhong. Original director Jason Moore will repeat his duties overseas.

Avenue Q, which also plays at Broadway's Golden Theatre, is set to officially open in the West End on June 28.
