Alums abounded at Tony Awards.

Several Millikin alumni were part of the 2012 Tony Awards broadcast on June 10. Whether they appeared in production numbers from nominated plays, a video clip, received a "thank you" from the podium or were involved in behind-the-scenes efforts of featured shows, these alums made us proud:

Tim Shew '80 - cast member in "Evita"
Andy Grobengieser '91 - associate conductor/keyboards for "Ghost the Musical"
Joe Machota '93 - the talent agent received a shout-out from Christian Borle, recipient of the award for featured actor in a play ("Peter and the Starcatcher"), who thanked Machota for "changing his life."
Karen Hyland '00 - cast member (swing) in "Ghost the Musical"
Sierra Boggess '04 - former cast member in "Master Class" with Tyne Daly, nominated for Best Revival of a Play and featured in a clip from the play
Ian Liberto '05 - dancer in the opening number sung by Tony Awards' host Neil Patrick Harris
Maurice Murphy '05 - performing in the featured number from "Leap of Faith"
Jimmy Goode '08 - wig maker for "Hairspray" production on cruise ship, featured on Tony awards show

Edit

I love that you are celebrating Alumni success, but you have misspelled Sierra Boggess' last name.
