Thanks Everyone! This is all very cool to hear. Also, Wasn't Idina Menzel in her mid twenties when she did Wicked?

 Idina was in her early 30s during the Wicked years. She was 26ish when she did RENT.

I am pretty sure Rachel York was only 18 when she played Mallory in The City of Angels. Not the star of the show, but...

Rachel York was actually around 22 when she did City of Angels. Like many actors, she's fudged her age over the years. Still pretty young, of course, though.

Anthony Rapp made his Broadway debut at age 10 (in The Little Prince and the Aviator) and amassed a pretty solid list of theater credits while still relatively young, including Six Degrees of Separation and Precious Sons.

I believe Bobby Cannavale's son who is in Fish in the Dark is pretty young, too. 19 or 20?
