About this episode

The episode features a discussion with the leading puppets of Avenue Q and explores the topic of content warnings in theatre.

Cult classic musical and Sesame Street satire Avenue Q is back on the West End and we were able to snag a chat with three of their leading puppets (and Gary Coleman). Join us in a chat with Emily Benjamin, Meg Hateley, Dionne Ward-Anderson and Charlie McCullagh about the trials and tribulations of bringing Avenue Q back to the stage. Plus, Perry and Liv get deep over a discussion of content warnings. Should they be posted on a theatre door or is art meant to affect us? Find out on this week’s In the Interval.
