Yes, but there are a LOT of AGYG alumni so which ones in particular do you want to know about?
But off the top of my head....
Dennis Kelly( Buffalo Bill)is in rehearsals for the Urinetown tour and will be playing Senator Fipp.
Ashley Rose Orr( Nellie Oakley) has moved out to CA and has been working closely with Disney on some projects.
Tom Wopat( Frank Butler) as most of you now is in 42nd Street
Nicole Ruth Snelson( Winnie Tate) last I heard was in the Tick Tick Boom tour but I don't know if that's still going on
Kevin Bailey( Chief Sitting Bull)--last I heard he was working on a new show called DORIAN out in CA and they're hoping to bring it to Broadway
Peter Marx( Charlie Davenport) was last in IMAGINARY FRIENDS on Broadway. I suppose he's probabaly still playing piano and giving recitals. He was also on Law & Order ( with Joel Grey) this past season.
Jewel and Blaire Restaneo( Jessie and Nellie) have been working on their own clothing line, making appearances on All My Children and movies.
Jason Gillman( Ensemble) is currently in MILLIE and has his own photo studio
Tom Schmid ( Mac, Running Deer & Messenger) has recently filmed spots for the Bold and the Beautiful and Passions. And has been taking part in a workshop of Moon Shine in the role of Griffin Evergood.
Rommy Sandhu- last summer he worked on the "Broadway Salute to Richard Rodgers on His 100th Birthday" which Bernadette was also a part of.
I know quite a few of the AGYG alumni were in Bells Are Ringing and Thou Shalt Not as well.
Most of you probably know that there are many people who worked behind the scenes that are now working on Gypsy.And quite a few of them have been helping with Broadway Barks( just as they have in the past).
That's all I can think of for now

People can actually see Peter Marx back onstage with Tom Wopat now as they are both in 42nd Street. Peter is currently playing the role of Andy Lee.

Ah, thanks. Good to know. I guess that is why I haven't "seen" him around much lately. I guess I'll have to go back and see the show again sometime soon!I bet he is great in the role!

The last I heard about Cassidy she was on an episode of "The Next Big Star" ( performing) on PaxTV back in November.
Last I heard about Mia..she moved out to CA and was in a movie with Melanie Griffeth a few years ago. Other than that I really don't know.
I know a few of the kids- while still being interested in theatre and acting-have chosen to focus more on school.

I haven't heard anything about Blair or Trevor in a while. The age that they're at now, pre teens/teens is sort of an inbetween time as far as being in a Broadway show goes. There really aren't that many roles available for kids that age. Like, I said before, some have chosen to focus more on school. I know one of the kids was offered a role in Gypsy(neither of the kids I mentioned in this post though) but turned it down to go to school and just be a "regular kid". Some of the kids had at one point or another auditioned for and made it into the "Broadway Kids". I know Ashley Orr, Heather Tepe and Stephen Scarpulla are in it. Hope this helps.
Oh, and Kate Kahonovitz after leaving AGYG was in a production of the Secret Garden and filmed a movie, HOUND DOG, with Lynn Redgrave. I remember reading an artile about the film in Variety a while back. Her last performance of AGYG was very cute. At curtian call a few cast members were pretty teary-eyed because Kate was leaving. Meanwhile, the majority of the audience that day had no idea this was her last performance in the show. So at curtain call, after Bernadette took her bows she sorta pushed Kate forward and started applauding her. It was very sweet!

Hmmm...I dunno. I would assume they have though. I did see girls go on for Jake before. I definitely know I saw Blaire Restaneo go on as Jake before and I am pretty positive I saw Ash go on as Jake once or twice(but not while Trevor was with the show) and further into the run she took over the role of Nellie Oakley.
