Is it really Broadway if it isn't a little gay?

Johnathon Groff

Since the release of "Frozen" in 2013, Johnathon Groff has become quite the household name. However, he made a name for himself as an original cast member of "Spring Awakening" way back in 2006, alongside his "Glee" co-star, Lea Michelle.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox is one of my personal favorites due to her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix original "Orange is the New Black." She has been an inspiration and an advocate for the LGBT community, producing shows such as "TRANSform Me."

Neil Patrick Harris

Actor, writer, producer, comedian, magician, singer. What can Neil Patrick Harris NOT do? Harris has been in theatre productions such as "Rent," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Sweeney Todd," as well as TV shows like: "The Simpsons," "Quantum Leap," "Numb3rs," "How I Met Your Mother," and more recently, the Netflix original "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Alan Cumming

Alan Cummings has been in stage productions of: "Hamlet," "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," Bent" and "The Threepenny Opera."

John Barrowman

"Miss Saigon," "Phantom of the Opera," "Sunset Boulevard," and "Matador" are just a few of the AMAZING shows John Barrowman has stared in, along side TV shows such as: "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," and "The Arrow." He has also served as a judge and mentor on Andrew Loydd Webber's reality shows "I'd Do Anything," Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."

Andy Mientus

Andy Mientus has starred in Broadway productions of "Spring Awakening," "Wicked," and "Les Misérables," as well as in NBC's "Smash" and CW's "The Flash."

Ellen Page

Personally speaking, Ellen Page has been one of my biggest inspirations since I saw her on "X-Men" for the first time.

Noah Galvin

Noah Galvin began his theatre career in "Les Misérables" as Gavroche in 2005 and began his Broadway career as the title character in "Dear Evan Hansen" as a temporary replacement of Ben Platt.

Ben Levi Ross

Ben Levi Ross was casted as the understudy of Connor Murphy in "Dear Evan Hansen" and was recently casted as Evan in the First National Tour starting in 2018.

Taylor Trensch

Taylor Trensch started his theatre career in "Les Misérables," "Rent," "Wicked," and "Hello, Dolly!" As of 2018 he is playing Evan in "Dear Evan Hansen."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
