Avenue Q Chaos! Puppets, Queer Joy & The Most Inappropriate Musical Ever

Uncategorized

Puppets, queerness, and absolute chaos—what more could you want?

This week on JOY Breakfast, Tamzyn and Henry sit down with the brilliantly fun Cassie Ogle and Jonathon Shilling from Avenue Q, and let’s just say… we are OBSESSED.

Inside this episode:
✔️ Puppets, queerness & comedy—Cassie & Jonathon spill the tea on this unhinged musical masterpiece
✔️ The joy of inappropriate theatre—why Avenue Q still makes us laugh (and blush) 20 years later
✔️ Behind the scenes madness—from singing about unemployment to puppetry gone wild
✔️ PLUS! They meet Ava the rescue Frenchie and instantly fall in love

Avenue Q is hitting Melbourne’s National Theatre in St Kilda from Feb 22 – Mar 8.

If you love theatre, a good laugh, or just wildly inappropriate musical numbers—this is your sign to go.

Hit play, have a giggle, and let’s get inappropriate! ✨

note: NOT A KID SHOW!
