Media Inquiries
Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama(opens in new window) alumna Patina Miller took home her first Grammy Award on Sunday, Feb. 5, for her work as the Witch in “Into the Woods,” which won for Best Musical Theater Album.
After a sold-out limited engagement run at New York City Center Encores!, the revival of this celebrated Stephen Sondheim musical moved to Broadway, where it twice extended its run. The album features Miller as the Witch, Sara Bareilles as the Baker’s Wife, Brian d’Arcy James as the Baker, and Phillipa Soo as Cinderella.
Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in drama in 2006.
