As BroadwayWorld previously reported, in late 2013, it was announced that Hugh Jackman had departed the upcoming stage musical based on America's greatest showman, Houdini. The project was originaly slated to come to Broadway in the 2013-14 theatre season, but it was later revealed that it would not arrive until 2015-16. According to the New York Times, the show still might have a life on stage, as producers are 'trying to attract a new creative team and star to resuscitate the show.'
Broadway fans had plenty of reasons to celebrate this year, with dozens of shows having opened since January, hundreds of actors having made their debuts, and many more having returned to the stage for critically acclaimed performances. Not all news was good though, as we also suffered a loss of an incredible amount of talent. Below, BroadwayWorld sends a fond farewell to those who passed away in 2014.
