I haven't seen the musical, but I'm in a community production of the straight play. I've heard the musical version is terrible, but I can't make such a judgement without actually seeing it.
Of course it looks cheesy, it's a farce. Farces are cheesy. All the jazz hands and tap dancing? It's set in the 30s, musicals were like that then and they're trying to evoke that.
my god. this looks like everything i hate about musicals roled into one. jazz hands?!?! really?!?! interesting side note though the md is a woman beating prick
@BlueRowan No. This has nothing to do with that. Avenue Q moved to the Wyndham's before closing. The Gielgud has hosted several other productions since that time. Including HAIR and currently UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURGH.
This was BRILLIANT. Loved it!

This looks awful. The music is seems likes something ive heard before. I saw the 2010 revival of the play on Broadway. This pales in comparison.

@BlueRowan No, this "show" is on at the Gielgud Theatre - Avenue Q was on at the Wyndham's Theatre when it closed.
At the Wyndham's Theatre currently is a play called 'Much Ado About Nothing' staring Catherine Tate and David Tennant.
