Simply put, 'Avenue Q' is a brilliant musical comedy, written, staged and performed by brilliant people, saying brilliant, insightful things about young adulthood and life in general-and the actors are having a fantastic time on stage every single night.

In substance, AVENUE Q is a distant relative of THE LION KING, television's SESAME STREET and many a yuppie sitcom in the mold of FRIENDS. The actor/singer/dancers in AVENUE Q also serve as the show's puppet masters. AVENUE Q is inhabited by human people, puppet people, and puppet 'monsters.' The inhabitants of AVENUE Q live on a block of homes where the superintendent is former child star Gary Coleman

The residents of AVENUE Q will appear on Food Network's popular television program ACE OF CAKES on the March 27, 2008 episode at 10:30 PM ET. While at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre, the cast and crew of Ace of Cakes and the cast and crew of the touring production of AVENUE Q filmed an episode of Ace of Cakes during which Chef Duff Goldman unveiled a customized AVENUE Q cake that depicts the Tony Award-winning musical's characters.

Goldman is a master cake decorator, rock musician, power tool aficionado and owner of Charm City Cakes. He has created everything from a three-foot buttercream sculpture of Elvis to a massive edible replica of Wrigley Field. These cakes are not only pretty, but they work- a car engine that shoots fireworks, a motorized horse, and a rolling replica of a Jeep Wrangler. AVENUE Q tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to NYC with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that 'the real world' isn't so bad, after all!
