So, a friend asked me how the latest show to hit the Liverpool Empire was, and to summarise it in a few words, I replied: "Think of Sesame Street ... with sex."

Welcome to Avenue Q, a show which both parodies and pays homage to Sesame Street, a classic children's favourite for decades now.

But whereas Sesame Street aims to educate young children on spelling and word definitions and the like, Avenue Q aims to emphasise the importance of some, well, different lessons of life.
