Stages don’t get much bigger than the ones on Broadway, and Easton Wicks, class of ‘26, officially punched his ticket to perform on a Broadway stage after winning the 2026 Discovery Awards and being named the top male musical theatre student in Eastern Oklahoma for 2026.
This incredible achievement earned Easton the opportunity to compete at the country’s premiere musical theatre competition for high school students, the Jimmy Awards, which will be held in New York City on Monday, June 22nd at 6:30 CT.
Easton has been in NYC for an intense 11-day workshop with Broadway professionals, all leading up to a massive showcase where he will make his Broadway debut at the Minskoff Theatre, current home of the musical, "The Lion King," on June 22.
