<p>By the way, I believe that Laura Osnes attended the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point (not Madison) and did not graduate (I seem to recall that she only attended for one or maybe two years).</p>

4

<p>Just to keep things in perspective - some of these actors graduated from their colleges 40+ years ago.</p>

5

<p>Best Original Score
A Christmas Story, The Musical
Music and Lyrics: Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (University of Michigan)
Both were MT majors</p>

6

<p>Laura Osnes was discovered and won a TV competition, I believe it was called " Grease: The One That I Want" and she was Sandy and then moved onto other roles and shows. Oh and she went to University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point for MT.</p>
