Going to watch Avenue Q in London soon, can anyone answer a few questions?

Question

I have a few questions that needs to be answered on the topic of Avenue Q in London!

1) I really want to meet the cast of Avenue Q and get their autographs. I will be going to the 5:30pm show on a Friday (ends around 7:45pm).
The question is - Will I be able to meet the cast? Because as soon as the first show finishes, they will need to get ready for the next show which starts at 8:30pm.

2) Where are the best seats in the theatre?

3) Are the any other places where you can buy Avenue Q tickets APART from the internet?

Much help appreciated.

And if any of the questions do not make any sense at all, please tell me.

ANOTHER QUESTION:

4) If I buy my tickets a week before I watch the show, will I be able to get very good seats?

Answer 1

1. When the show finishes go straight round to the Stage Door. You may see some of the cast poping out, otherwise ask the doorman if you can meet a couple.
2. Look up www.theatremonkey.co.uk for a seat review
3. Plenty of sites listed on theatremonkey. Otherwise directly from the theatre or from the TKTS booth in Leicester Square on the day. Don't buy from other ticket agents in London, most are a rip off
4. A Friday afternoon performance should be OK unless you go in the school holidays.

Answer 2

Might be better to catch the cast before the matinee. With such a tight turn around they might not come out. Don't know how long they need to be there (for a warm up), but would suggest at least 4.30 p.m. Might be worth popping to the theatre earlier in the day and asking at the box office if they know what sort of time the cast arrives. They will also be able to tell you the best seats.
