Below, the cast of AVENUE Q expresses congratulations to Bobby (co-creator of AVE Q) & Kristen Lopez on their recent Oscar nomination with their own cover of 'Let It Go' from Disney's Frozen.

AVENUE Q's Jennifer Barnhart, Darren Bluestone, Sala Iwamatsu, Jason Jacoby, Veronica Kuehn, Nick Kohn, Jed Resnick, and Danielle Kamilah Thomas just joined Alan Seales from Google for a special performance and Q&A. Check out the full appearance below!

Jennifer Barnhart - who made her Broadway debut in 2003 in the original cast of the Tony Award-winning musical AVENUE Q - returns to the long-running hit at New World Stages (340 W. 50 St.) starting with the Monday, November 11 performance at 8 pm. Ms. Barnhart will perform the roles she helped create over 10 years ago: as a Bad Idea Bear, kindergarten school principal Mrs. T, as well as her trademark 'second-hand' work with puppets Nicky and Trekkie Monster.

In 2003, a certain green girl flew on Broadway for the first time. In the same year, a handful of plucky performers with some ostentatiously crass puppets opened a smaller show Off-Broadway. They transferred to Broadway months before the witches of Oz made their big splash and later surprised everyone when they grabbed the coveted Triple Crown at the 2004 Tony Awards. Taking home the Tony for Best Book, Best Score, and Best Musical, AVENUE Q was truly defying gravity. More than 10 years later, the show is still running in New York City at Off-Broadway's New World Stages and in Houston Michael J. Ross's MJR Theatricals | Music Box Musicals' production is giddily showcasing why the musical has such pronounced staying power.

Rod, the puppet star of the Tony Award-winning musical AVENUE Q -- who made international headlines on July 24, 2011 when he married his puppet boyfriend Ricky on the first day same-sex marriage became legal in the State of New York -- has himself been invited to the same-sex wedding of Mississippi couple Scott Barnes and Gary Holcomb in Washington, DC on Sunday, September 1. Sadly, Rod has sent his regrets to the grooms since Sunday is a two-show day at AVENUE Q and he is obligated to perform in the musical, now in its 10th year in New York.

Join the Baltimore Shakespeare Factory in The Meadow at Johns Hopkins University's beautiful Evergreen Museum & Library for two of Will's most popular works. According to Artistic Director Tom Delise "HAMLET is not simply the tragedy of the Prince of Denmark -- it is also a ghost story, a detective story, a love story, a story of power and ambition, a revenge story, and even at times, a comedy." Through our signature audience interaction, The Factory literally invites viewers to respond to the many questions raised by the play.
