Sutton and Hunter Foster, Erin Dilly, Kristen Bell, Gregory Jbara, Celia Keenen-Bolger,Enrico Rodriguez, Marin Mazzie went to school on the other side of my state and not to mention the countless people who came from U of M.

Not Broadway but Tim Allen, Jeff Daniels, and Robin Williams(who kinda of counts for b-way).

And a few of my friends who have some national tours but haven't hit the boards quite yetanny McNie and Jason Beaubien

Alec Baldwin....hence our highschool auditorium's name "Baldwin Auditorium."

Idina Menzel is from nearby. So is Adam Pascal, but that's not nearly as exciting.

Ohk, so she's not from my hometown, but close to it I guess.

John Tartaglia grew up in Ambler, I think, and that's about a 20 minute drive from my house.

ummm jesse mccartney was on broadway when he was little lol, and there was a kid who was gavroche when he was little. There have been a few random people with parts in movies and things(apparently someone from my town was in animal house). Not from my town, but Jonathan Larson is from westchester. Gotta love suburbia. I don't know of anyone else from westchester though.
