VOICE OVER: Emily Brayton WRITTEN BY: Arianna Wechter Standing ovations for the ultimate Broadway glow-ups. Join us as we celebrate performers who began in the wings—as understudies, standbys, and chorus members—before seizing center stage. From Sutton Foster leaping to Thoroughly Modern Millie and Audra McDonald rising from The Secret Garden, to Patina Miller, KO, Bernadette Peters, Shirley MacLaine, Elaine Stritch, Taye Diggs, Cheyenne Jackson, and Lea Michele. Expect journeys from Les Misérables, Ragtime, and Carousel beginnings to star turns in Spring Awakening, Rent, Sister Act, Pippin, Into the Woods, West Side Story, Hello, Dolly!, and Moulin Rouge! Which rise impressed you most? Tell us below. read more...
