The publication counted up which universities had the most alumni on Broadway stages during the 2024-25 season.
Baldwin Wallace University once again made Playbill's annual report on the colleges and universities with the most alumni performing in the 2024–25 Broadway season, ending April 29.
Under the headline, "Where Did the Actors of the 2024-25 Broadway Season Go to School?," BW ranked among schools earning honorable mentions, defined by Playbill as universities "that just barely missed making the top 10."
The hefty list of BW Broadway performers in Playbill includes alumni appearing in 15 different Broadway productions, from recent graduates to seasoned pros:
Two other BW grads working on Broadway during the 24-25 season who were omitted from the list are Matthew Frederick Harris '18 and Tré Frazier '18, both in the cast of "MJ."
BWMTs are already booking roles for next year's list. Keri Rene Fuller '15 joined the cast of "Wicked" on Broadway as the Elphaba standby on July 1.
As Playbill took note of BW's robust triple threat talent pipeline, current BW music theatre students added a new performance opportunity right out of the gate this fall with a staged reading of "Assassins."
The BW Music Theatre team added the staged reading to the production calendar as a new tradition to kick off the BWMT academic year, which was directed and music directed by new BW Music Theatre Music Director Richard Biever. New BW Music Theatre Director Jennifer Hemphill will direct the fully-staged fall production of "9 to 5: The Musical" in November.
Fall semester masterclasses are also kicking in this month, with longtime BWMT collaborator Michael Cassara of Michael Cassara Casting coming to work with students, along with a welcome return by casting director Merri Sugarman of the TRC Company.
New York City vocal coach Andrew Byrne and top talent agents will also be on campus this fall, along with NYC photographer Michael Kushner, who will take group photos and headshots of the BWMT and Acting BFA seniors.
