Michigan on Broadway

Someone on the main thread suggested that there should be a page on each school’s thread with what alumni are doing professionally. I’ll get it started with what I know and will try to update. I will also try and do a regional and tour list.

Thank you @lojosmo for starting this. It’s a great idea! How about an “Other Notable” thread as well? My guess is there are many Michigan MT grads out there who are making significant contributions to the MT world but aren’t appearing on stage. I’m sure the same is true of other MT programs as well.

@HappyDancer98 ~working on it… that list is much harder to compile!

@lojosmo Agreed! And, thank you! :slight_smile:

Maybe I am just a proud Michigan mama - but I think the sheer number of Michigan grads on Broadway (or National tours) would be very hard to keep track of. Based on the daily Instagram posts - it’s near constant! Bravo Michigan! Go Blue!

@singoutlouise Broadway is WAAAAY easier than regional or national tours. The sheer number of regional theaters makes that difficult.

New list!
