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.
