They will be supported by Jasmine Beel, Jonathan Carlton, Angelis Hunt, Lesley Lemon, Jessica Niles Kadi, and Joshua Williams-Ward.

The anniversary production is directed by the original award-winning Broadway director Jason Moore. Said Moore, “From the beginning, Avenue Q has been defined by singular, standout young comedy performers—and this new company continues that tradition! This dynamic group of actors brings exceptional talent and inventive spirit to the stage, bringing perspectives to the show in ways that feel both thrillingly fresh and perfectly timed for today’s London audiences. I can’t wait for audiences to see them in action!”
