I'm assuming they were in 'the hot seat' at the show.

I've been on the sets of Chicago, Gypsy, Laugh Whore and Hollywood Arms... but that doesn't really count.

I *did* sing and dance on the Shubert stage though

I once did a gay pirate epic with music at the old Jane Adams Hull House space in the 3200 block of North Broadway in Chicago.

QTKT I LOVE YOUR ICON! YAY ROBB SAPP!

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

Considering this board is made up of high schoolers, sprinkled with college students, and flavored with a dash of "the rest of us" I highly doubt it. Maybe we should allow for touring productions and see who has a claim to fame...??

Not true, popular. I can think of a few posters off the top of my head who have in fact performed on Broadway (as in, name above the title roles)

Popular - I really believe that's only what exists on a very surface level.

OK, well that's the impression I get. I guess I stand corrected. And I didn't mean to imply one can't be straight out of high school and on broadway (I actually have a friend who did just that with Millie as you may have read) but anyway... if what I wrote above isn't true then what do you think the BWW consists of percentage wise when it comes to age?

There ARE a lot of young'uns on the boards.... but there are SO many adults as well. Unfortunately a lot of them still act like children.
