Avenue Q: Echoes of a Past Provocation or Stale Satire?
Avenue Q musical in London faces mixed reviews in 2026. Some praise its humor, others find it outdated. What does this mean for theatre-goers?

Avenue Q is back in London, but critics are split. While some love its old humor, others feel it's a 'Gen-X time capsule' that doesn't quite land today.

Maggots by Tony Craze Award winner Farah Najib is currently at the Bush Theatre. Through three actors, it powerfully explores the unseen human costs of societal neglect and it stayed with me longer than I expected.
I wrote a longer review here if anyone’s interested: https://redbuslondinium.uk/2026/02/02/maggots-bush-theatre/

Just had the pleasure of watching ‘Good Night, Oscar’ in the front row at The Barbican. Sean Hayes was phenomenal, as was the whole cast to be honest. Telling the tale of virtuoso Oscar Levant, often struggling with his mental health on live TV.
Brilliant production - I love the mid-century set design, clever lighting and the subtle ‘padded wall’ background.

Just went to see Juno and the Paycock at the Geilgud theatre in London, my brother in laws brother (is that a thing?) is in it alongside Mark Rylance.
I found it very relevant and moving and loved the clowning element too.

More interesting queer productions on right now for those who can make it:
"Three queer people cross paths. Their connections blossom like the plants they nurture. Their history as deep as the roots beneath their feet. Created by three LGBTQIA+ actor-writers, PlantGays is a light-hearted poke at the quirks of our queer generation, exploring the beautiful, strange and meaningful ways young queer people connect with nature and each other."
Deets at Omnibus Clapham: https://www.omnibus-clapham.org/plantgays/
"Two couples each invite a stranger into their homes with hope of sparking new life. Instead, they find themselves threatened by invasion, alienation, and abduction…"

As a big fan of Isherwood, I had book tickets for this tonight;
"Fury and Elysium pays homage to six highly influential Weimar Republic icons who put their idiosyncratic stamp on Berlin during a period of radical change, rebellious spirit and boldness between the two world wars. With a particular focus on placing centre stage the fascinating lives of three Jewish women. Fury and Elysium depicts Berlin’s #queer culture, celebrating the #drag kings and romance to be found below ground in the infamous cabaret clubs."
-
I'm off tonight to see "Shutters: A Lesbian Rock Opera".
"A London girl meets a Los Angeles girl over 20 years – sex, drums and a rock opera. Saving Liz is a young idealistic Punk Rocker who, with friends and lovers, sets out to change the world through music. But Saving Liz can’t seem to give the record producers what they want, and she becomes a shelved has-been."
It's on at the Omnibus Clapham until the 24th. More info and tickets here: https://www.omnibus-clapham.org/shutters/

Okay so I saw this on Saturday and it was awesome. A wonderful exploration of sexual shame around coming out as #queer, intimacy and self-discovery. Beca Barton was amazing in her role(s) and I want to keep an eye out for more productions from Alice McKee.

Soho Theatre has a play coming up this April that looks interesting!
"When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that starts to grow in the darkness. Now roots are cracking up through the pavement and branches are coming in at the windows, and – as she starts to see things that no one else can – she becomes the focus of some seriously unwanted attention."

“It’s 2014, Gay marriage has just been legalised in the UK, and Rowan and their #LGBTQ+ bandmates want to sing it from the rooftops. But their all-girl Catholic secondary school has other ideas. Disbanded and reprimanded, the group has a choice: do they bow down, retreat, and let the school rules divide them? Or, through all the angsty mess of adolescence, do they unite and fight back to make a change?”
The Phase is on this March: https://vaultfestival.com/events/the-phase/

UK friends! I’m making my London theatrical debut in “A Society,” which will be part of the #VaultFestival!
This satirical mashup of feminist texts from #VirginiaWoolf to #ValerieSolanas is an hour of ridiculous fun, and I’m genuinely scared I might break character and howl with laughter during one of the performances.

Mandela at #YoungVic : Standard 4⭐️ storming celebration of the human spirit and the human voice; Telegraph 3⭐️ this tribute looks like a footnote; WhatsOnStage 3⭐️simplistic.. For all its flaws, it's an enjoyable evening, full of good performances; Guardian 2⭐️little dramatic tension; Times 2⭐️a narrative pitched at high school level, with limp direction; TimeOut 2⭐️it barely has a plot, and has ascribed negligible personality (to) Nelson Mandela #theatre #londontheatre

Sad news from Hampstead Theatre. After 60 years of presenting new writing, the Arts Council’s shocking decision to cut its entire funding means it will no longer concentrate on new work. What an incalculable loss to British theatre. Consequently it’s brilliant artistic director Roxana Silbert has resigned. Her recent production of Rona Munro’s Mary was one of the best plays I saw this year. #hampsteadtheatre #londontheatre #theatre
