Just read his book over the summer. He always came across as a purely jubilant man who gave us so much in his career, not to mention his stewardship of A Chorus Line! May he Rest In Peace...

Such sad news. He was a wonderful man. Such an honor to have met him years ago.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

“Every Little Step” the documentary really captured his kindness and passion for the show. I always loved seeing him behind the table reacting to the performers.

How long did he live in Florida?

Not sure when he moved to Ft. Lauderdale. I met him there at a Patti Lupone concert. He was quite nice and almost shy. Enjoyed reading his recent book. A great loss.

So many New Yorkers move down to FL to retire. They call it the 6th borough. M
