2024 Roger Rees Awards
Chris Fukuda & Alyssa Wong
(Nominee for Outstanding Performer in a Musical)
The Broadway Education Alliance has announced Chris Fukuda and Alyssa Wong as semi-finalists for Best Actor and Best Actress Awards in a Musical, part of the Roger Rees Awards for Excellence in Student Performance. Chris and Alyssa were nominated for their roles as Gomez Addams and Wednesday Addams, respectively, in the South High School musical production of The Addams Family.
A total of 50 students from the Greater New York area (25 male and 25 female) have been nominated for their roles in an officially licensed production of a Broadway musical during the 2024–25 academic year. Their performance was adjudicated by three professionals who attended the South High production of The Addams Family, presented on November 17–18, 2023.
As part of the competition, Chris and Alyssa have been invited to participate in an in-person masterclass led by experienced Broadway professionals. Following the coaching sessions, a team of director/choreographers and music directors will complete a second evaluation of each student’s performance, with the top-ranking six female and six male students designated as award finalists.
Winners of the Roger Rees Award will represent the Greater New York region at The Broadway League Foundation’s Jimmy® Awards (also known as the National High School Musical Theatre Awards) in June. The Broadway Education Alliance, presenter of the Roger Rees Awards for Excellence in Student Performance, is a non-profit organization that supports theatre arts education and enrichment programs.
