Beth Leavel!
And the Tony Goes to … UNCG Alum Beth Leavel!

Beth Leavel walked into New York’s Radio City Music Hall Sunday night a Tony nominee.

She left … a Tony winner.

Leavel, who graduated from UNCG in 1980 with an MFA in acting, took home the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of the title character in Broadway’s red hot musical comedy, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The Tonys, Broadway’s top honor, have honored excellence in theater for the past 60 years.<snip>

1. Wow! That's really cool!

I've known several folks from the UNCG Theatre Dept. All great folks and all super-talented. :-).

I didn't know Beth, she graduated the year I got there in the fall. Missed her by 3 months. :P
