Last month Amsterdam High School senior Lianelys Ovideo Roman was awarded the High School Musical Theatre Award for top performer after portraying Eurydice in Hadestown: Teen Edition
Amsterdam High School garnered two additional awards - Back Stage excellence and Best Musical Tier C, thrilling high school music teacher and director Christopher Stefani.
With the honor, Lianelys is currently in New York City at The Juilliard School for 10 days of mentorship, auditions, and competition culminating with the June 23 National High School Musical Theatre Awards show, called The Jimmies, with this year's host, Josh Groban, at Broadway's Minskoff Theatre.
