Jarrod Spector graduated my High School a few years before I did.
And though I didn't realize it until I saw this thread and checked, both Jeremy Jordan and Aaron Tveit went to my Alma mater, Ithaca College.

Brian Stokes Mitchell- he was a few years ahead of me and by the time I was in the theater dept he was doing a lot at the Old Globe- he used to come in every year and talk to us about the "business". (this was 35 years ago lol.) Also Annette Benning, but I'm not sure she's done much on Broadway.

I just looked and the only one remotely close to making it to Broadway was Gary Busey.

I went to middle/high school with Laurie Veldheer. I grew up training at the same studio and performing with Laurie, Mikey Winslow, Johnny Stellard, Joe Carroll (all three of those guys went to the same High School...) and Kate Reinders, to name a few.... lol My hometown definitely breeds a sh*t ton of talent with exceptional teachers and performing arts opportunities.
College.... too many to name. A couple chorus gypsies, an SNL star, and few big and up and coming recording artists; at the same time as me. If you count alumni before my time you can add a Tony winning director, a few Broadway directors, a MacArthur Genius, a Tony winning actress, a few Tony nominees. Etc.

Small world Dallas Theater Fan, I went to Texas Tech and live in Dallas as well. I went to high school with Alyssa Fox (Elphaba standby) and remember Miguel Cervantes from a community theater we both performed at when I was in middle school.

John Lithgow and Bebe Neuwirth went to my high school. Lithgow was two years ahead of me, and he was already a brilliant actor. I was in a play with him. He was, of course, the star and I had a walk on part in one scene with one short line.
Bebe, obviously, was there after me.
Damien Chazelle, writer and director of LA LA Land and Whiplash, also went to the same high school.

I grew up in the same town as Brian Falduto (Billy in the School of Rock film). We did a few community shows together as children but went to different middle/high schools.
Rob McClure attended the same college I attended (Montclair State University), but left before my time. I don't think he graduated. Josh Dela Cruz (Aladdin understudy) was a senior when I was a freshman and was one of the nicest guys I met in my time there.

Tom Hanks - was in the Sacramento State theater department together before he moved on to bigger things. Took Dr Larson's playwriting class and worked tech for the revolving stage in our "Oliver."
Freda Foh Shen and Nick Rashad Burroughs both went to Santa Rosa Junior College's Summer Rep Theater. From what I remember, Freda left directly from SRT to join the OBC of Pacific Overtures.

I earned my MFA at DePaul, where several now- famous people went, although none recently I don't think.
I did undergrad at Indiana U with Colin Donnell, Rebekah Faulkenberry, and Arian Moayed. Colin in particular was obviously going to do really well for himself.
P.S.: Although colleges love to brag about their famous alumni, keep in mind that what college you go to, as long as it has a good theater program, has absolutely zero effect on how famous or successful you might become.

Julia Udine was a year above me in high school. There's quite a few broadway actors nearby, but she's about the one I can think of who actually went to my school.

I went to the University of Georgia and a few famous Broadways actors who attended were Alton Brown, Shuler Hensley, Titus Burgess, and Kyle Chandler. I actually only knew Titus Burgess and Alton Brown went to my alma mater, so it was neat to learn about some other people too!
