IRREVERANT, obscene but above all side-splittingly hysterical, Avenue Q's band of misfits will barge onto the Wyvern Theatre stage.

The pesky puppets may look cute and friendly but Avenue Q is definitely unsuitable for little monsters. Set in New York, the Tony Award-winning musical follows Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate who has just moved to Avenue Q, as he desperately tries to follow his dreams and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life. A tiny bank balance, the distraction of a busty blonde and a variety of weird and wonderful friends and neighbours lead the young 'man' on a hilarious story of self-discovery.

Featuring the naughtiest puppets in town, brought hilariously to life by an ensemble cast of 11 performers, Avenue Q is a about growing up, dreaming big, and being true to oneself.

You’d be a muppet to miss it!

Avenue Q runs at the Wyvern Theatre until Saturday 18 July. To book tickets visit swindontheatres.co.uk or call the box office on 01793 524481.

PANEL (If needed)

Tell us about your childhood?

Kate Monster: I grew up outside New York, and it was always my dream to one day live in the Big Apple. And here I am! Avenue Q isn’t exactly Fifth Avenue, but it’s a start.

Princeton: I was a good, straight A student kinda kid. I studied hard, got into my first choice of college, and graduated with first class honours. So now I’m ready to take on the world! But I’m not too sure what happens now; what do you do with a BA in English?

Trekkie: Trekkie come from big Monster family with Monster brothers and sisters.

Tell us a secret about yourself.

Kate Monster: Well, don’t tell anyone, but I have a little crush on someone else on the street! Let’s just say he’s yellow with black hair, and is a bit of a dreamboat.

Princeton: Well… I sorta like one of my neighbours on Avenue Q! But I’m afraid I might have offended her the other day; I asked if she was related to Trekkie because they’re both Monsters. She said ‘why, do we all look the same to you?!’ Then we sang a song about how everyone’s a little bit racist, that was a giggle.

Trekkie Monster: Me know Cookie Monster when he just little kid. Trekkie’s big claim to fame!

What is your favourite song and why?

Kate Monster: My favourite song is a song I sing called It’s call ‘There’s a Fine, Fine Line’. It’s a very emotional song about how it’s sometimes a very fine line between being in love and being friends with somebody. It has some very high notes so I have to keep my emotions under control so I can hit them!

Princeton: My first song is called ‘Purpose’, and it’s all about me trying to find out what my calling is in life.

Trekkie Monster: Me favourite song called ‘The Internet is for Porn’! Trekkie get to sing whole song about favourite subject! Kate Monster no happy, because she think internet for other things. She have no idea!

Which film makes you cry every time?

Kate Monster: Titanic, every time! I practically know all the words. “I’ll never let go Jack!”. Princeton made me a mix tape the other day which included My Heart Will Go On. I thought that was so sweet!

Princeton: I don’t really cry at films. Oh apart from Marley and Me, that killed me!

Trekkie Monster: Girls Gone Wild parts 2, 5 and 7. Lucy the Slut star in all these films! Lucy make me cry, she beautiful actress, and beautiful lady!

What makes your blood boil?

Kate Monster: That good for nothing Lucy the Slut makes my blood boil, that’s for sure! She’s bad news if you ask me. She told me that she once tried dating a Monster, but it didn’t work out because she kept getting the fur stuck in her teeth. How rude!

Princeton: I don’t have any blood, it’s pretty much just cotton wool in here!

Trekkie Monster: When people disturb Trekkie when he... *ahem*… busy. That make Trekkie blood boil! When door shoot and curtains closed, Trekkie have good reason!

Miss Piggy/Kermit – cute or not?

Kate Monster: Oh, so cute! They are the ultimate puppet celebrity couple.

Princeton: I dated Miss Piggy briefly, it did not end well!

Trekkie Monster: Miss Piggy feisty lady! Good luck Kermit.
