The bright lights of Broadway led Ithaca College alumna Kerry Butler ’92 all the way to her first Tony nomination. Butler, a musical theater graduate, earned a nomination for best performance by a leading actress in a musical for her performance in Xanadu. The musical was also nominated for best musical.

Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News says that “Kerry Butler is simply out of this world as Kira. She has gorgeous pipes, great comic flair, and puts on a fab faux Aussie accent that could make dingoes howl for more.”
Butler’s career has included leading roles in Broadway productions of Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray, Les Misérables, Beauty and the Beast, and Blood Brothers.
Also receiving a Tony nomination was Tom Clark ’81, a partner at ACME Sound Partners, which was nominated for best sound design for In the Heights.
