<p>I don’t know Martin Glyer, but from what I can tell, he attended Tisch’s Strasberg studio.</p>
<p>Theo Stockman, 2007 graduate of Tisch BFA (Stella Adler and ETW), is in American Idiot (or he may have recently left it), and was in Hair prior to that.</p>
<p>I would like to correct Laura Osnes’s school info. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (University of Wisconsin usually refers to UW-Madison). </p>
<p>University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point alumni, Andrew Cao, is also appearing in “Anything Goes” as Luke.</p>
<p>And another University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point grad, Gerald Avery, is part of the Ensemble for “Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark”.</p>
<p>Just saw “Curtains.” Not sure if it was a national tour or regional tour. It starred Robert Newman and Kim Zimmer from “Guiding Light.” Here is a list of schools mentioned in the bios: Shenandoah (BFA), Penn State (MFA), Michigan, Butler, FSU, Loyala-Chicago, Belmont (BM), Webster, Maine State, NYU.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, Josh and Reva together forever. Even onstage! :)</p>
<p>Robert Newman will appear this summer at The Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan, in Man of La Mancha. :)</p>
<p>Can we have some more recent (last 15 years or so) examples of Nyu/Tisch grads working in musical theatre as Performers? I’m told a large portion of the B’Way Wicked ensemble is from NYU- true? Not wanting to hear about plays, movies, soap operas, directing or whatever at this point (unless they were singing and dancing). Triple threats, anyone? I know of one young woman on the recent Chorus LIne tour and she was great in “Looks 10.”</p>
<p>Ryan Worsing is from here…he went to NYU and has been in Shrek, White Christmas and he’s in Chicago now, all in NYC on Broadway. He would have graduated three years ago.</p>
<p>I cannot begin to list all the NYU/Tisch grads working professionally in musical theater even from the last five years, let alone last 15…there are soooooooooo many! </p>

<p>Also, I just kept to musicals…many grads have been in plays and other professional performing arts.</p>
<p>Soozievt- you should have NYU/Tisch put this on their website! :)</p>
<p>Some of these names are friends and acquaintances of my daughter’s. I started by just thinking through them in my head and didn’t even include the many who have other significant theater credits that are not Broadway or National Tours (frankly, I would not have limited it to this because I never saw the goal as getting on Broadway but rather to be a working actor). If I had included “working MT Performers” as the original question asked, the list would be way way longer. In any case, there have been some past posts on CC on this subject and also CAP21’s site also has a list of alums on Broadway and so I then added a bunch from those sources and do not know each of them, therefore. </p>
<p>As I wrote, a good many of my D’s peers from NYU/Tisch, including herself, are working in theater, and are recent grads. Every single job my D has had since graduation is in some aspect of theater or music. This is true of so many of her classmates too.</p>
<p>Just to add some names to the Tisch List:</p>
<p>Jesse L. Martin (not recent, but significant)- Rent, Law and Order, Merchant of Venice
Brandi Burkhardt (A Tale of Two Cities, Mamma Mia)
Pearl Sun (Next to Normal Tour)
Michael Longoria (Jersey Boys)
Stephanie Rothenberg (How to Succeed)
Christina Sajous (American Idiot, Baby It’s You)</p>
<p>Thanks for adding those, claydavis. :)</p>
<p>(btw, Michael Longoria was already listed)</p>
<p>Clay, Jesse’s Tisch degree is an MFA. An amazing amount of incredibly talented and successful actors have an MFA from Tisch, straight acting by the way not MT, but if we start listing those, the list will get way too long. Christina Sajous was also in Rent.</p>
<p>Actually I’m pretty positive Jesse L. Martin got a BFA. He was listed and talked about as a graduate of the Strasberg Studio. The Tisch notable alums list also lists him under “Undergraduate Drama”.
And he was the Keynote Speaker at the President’s Welcome Address at Welcome Week. He was introduced by Dean Campbell as being in the undergraduate drama program and he also talked about his experiences there.</p>
<p>I don’t know Jesse Martin personally (but know who he is of course) and alwaysamom may know him, but according to various online sources, he was born in '69 and went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts and was in the class of '91 which would make him 22 at the time of his graduation.</p>
<p>(agree that if this list included MFAs or even BFA students who were in straight plays, TV, Film, or musicals/plays Off Broadway or regional theater, etc., it would be way way longer)</p>
<p>PS…I found one source that actually lists Jesse as earning a BFA in 1991 from Tisch. Another source lists him as earning an MFA in 1989 from Tisch!</p>
<p>And yet another bio mentions that after high school, Jesse worked in restaurants in NYC to help pay his NYU/Tisch tuition.</p>
<p>Adding:</p>
<p>Steve Rosen: Spamalot
Anisha Nagarajan: Hair, Bombay Dreams
Denis Jones: Legally Blonde, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Full Monty
Chandra Wilson: Caroline or Change, Avenue Q, On the Town</p>
<p>(on the list of Tisch Distinguished Alumni put out by Tisch, Jesse L. Martin is listed under undergraduate drama, not graduate)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>classicalbk,</p>
<p>If you go to Tisch’s website and use the Search function and put in “Distinguished Tisch Alumni,” you will get a link to a very very long pdf of alumni working in the field.</p>
<p>As well, if you go to CAP21’s website, which until now, has been the MT training studio for Tisch undergrads, it has a list of alumni with Broadway credits.</p>
<p>Wow!! Tisch should really find a way to highlight that more on its admissions website, and it should organize it better. At first, I thought they lumped the BFA and MFA Drama together, but then realized that they listed them separately. There are a ton of “well-known” names on the BFA list (not that this means those actors are any better, but probably just luckier!)</p>
<p>I’m sure there are plenty of working actors who aren’t on this list, and probably a ton of others who have gone into other areas of theater (education, eg.) and serving the artistic community in other ways; or those who just got fed up with the actor’s life and decided to go for stability and job security…In the latter regard, I have to believe that the Tisch name is a big help on any resume. While there are plenty of great acting schools, Tisch is the one that those who are not in the theater world think of as the “Harvard” of acting, and are really impressed when they hear that someone goes there! (this is getting off-topic!)</p>
