Dan Fogler and Leah Horowitz are the only ones I can think of. Dan's mother was my English teacher and would always talk about what show he was doing next. Spelling Bee played one special performance at my school back when it was still called Crepuscule (sp? haha) and wasn't a musical.
Greg Evigans.. he was on bway and also Bj from BJ and the bear and on my 2 dads..
Also not bway but not of the gys from the west wing went to my high school and of course out pride at my high school is John Bongovi. better known as John "Bon Jovi".. Nice guy :)

I know of people that graduated high school with Idina Menzel and Adam Pascal
I don't know if this counts (as of yet) but John Pinette (the upcoming Edna in Hairspray and the replacement on tour) graduated from my high school in MA.
I know of people who know of people who graduated with Idina and Adam
Philip Bosco
Nathan Lane a.k.a. Joe Lane and
Paolo Montalban
"From that same production our Tiger Lily was Eponine in the national tour for a while..."
What was her name?
And to add to this topic, I can't think of anyone from my school who made it to Broadway, but I did see a production of WSS at my old college where Jennifer Ikeda played Maria. And I saw a local production of Annie where one of the orphans went on to be in the Fiddler revival.
future...you go to OCHSA? Do you know who Jenny Boyle is? She used to go there then transfered to my school.
Sara Gettlefinger.
I met her three years ago during my winter break. I saw her perform a cabaret show of her favorite songs (showtunes & not) and it was very good. Right after 'The Boys From Syracuse' closed and I believe she was already cast in 'Nine' when she was home for the holidays before starting rehearsals. She was very sweet to me (I had friends who knew her right when she starting getting Broadway work) and I can't wait to see her in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."
Carol Channing. Heck, our auditorium was named after her. Oh! And, she mentioned our school in the PBS Broadway DVD (she called Asians "very smart Orientals" though...hmmm).
(Unfortunately, our school newspaper got this very very terrible mugshot of her when she visited...and everyone in journalism could not stop laughing for many months.)
Oh and...Benjamin Bratt...not a BWay actor tho.

Jai Rodriguez graduated from the same one I did.
Mario Cantone graduated from my high school. He's been in musicals and plays such as Assassins(Is the soundtrack good?) and Laugh Whore. Those are the only musicals I can think of though and Mario's the only Broadway star I can think of that went to my high school.
