The Fans Have Spoken! Your Top 10 Fave Teachers in Broadway Musicals

A new school year filled with homework, exams and grades has begun, Broadway fans—but fear not! We know you're going to make the grade, and we've got your back with full reports on the latest Broadway buzz, Odds & Ends and Lessons to keep you sharp and videos for those well-deserved study breaks (all right, late-night procrastination sessions). With a fresh semester also comes awesome locker decorations, new friends and favorite teachers. A few of them may even remind you of some of your favorite instructors in Great White Way musicals (even if they don't let you get away with air guitar-ing through that history presentation). We asked you which teacher from a musical would make you want to sit at the front of the class. Take a look at your top 10 below, and good luck in the new school year!
