In May of 2025, the St. Louis High School Musical Awards was proudly renamed to become The Ken Page Awards in honor of the St. Louis native. Ken Page made his Muny debut in 1972 and went on to become a Broadway legend, recognized worldwide for his roles in Ain’t Misbehavin’, Cats, The Wiz and Guys and Dolls. Ken captivated audiences through Broadway and off-Broadway, film, TV, regional performances and concerts while remaining deeply connected to our community and steadfast in his commitment to nurturing the next generation of performers. Page’s extraordinary career is an inspiration to emerging theatre artists of all ages.
