Gateway Alumni
Don't miss a show this season—you might miss Broadway's next star!
Question: JOHN LLOYD YOUNG, KENDRA KASSEBAUM, ELIZABETH STANLEY... what do these three "A" list Broadway headliners have in common? Answer: They were cast at Gateway first.
If you saw The Scarlet Pimpernel, in 2001, you saw John Lloyd Young, in the featured role of Armand. Gateway's former Casting Director, Robin Joy Allan, had been bringing him in for a few years for different roles, hoping to cast him and the day came...what a great guy...... Kendra had come to an Equity Principal Audition and was soon after, offered the role of Minnie Fay in Gateway's 1998 production of Hello, Dolly! starring Mimi Hines. In 2005, after seeing her audition for a couple of years, Robin brought in Ms. Stanley for the director of Sugar, as her first choice for the role. He agreed.
More Broadway and Off-Broadway shows have our talented alumni in their midst, some are in the chorus, in the pits, backstage and oftentimes, on the creative teams.
Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Rock of Ages, Mamma Mia, Sister Act, Chicago, Lion King, Nice Work If You Can Get It, How to Succeed, Jersey Boys, and others have PLAYBILLS with Gateway alumni in their credits.
Performers, please email us so that we can include you. We will be updating this page, this spring, so make sure you send us your information to be updated or added.
