Marin Mazzie Has Died

Lovely lady....

OMG!! I had no idea she was ill! Terrible news.

Oh, no.

Sad. She was only 57.

A wonderful talent, a kind and generous lady.

Loved her in Ragtime. RIP.

There are more people talking about this in the existing theater thread, my dear.

Oooooopsy.

A lot of us don't wade into the theater threads, as evidenced by the people here who only just heard the news.

A separate thread for Mazzie is fine. She deserves it. Stop being petty.

Ah, fuck. 57. Too fucking young.

A performer with such artistry, of effortless grace and beauty. RIP, dear Marin. Thank you for all the thrills.

What a strikingly beautiful woman. Such a shame. What a pity it couldn't be that Conway bitch or the Coulter whore.

This is sad.

RIP to a marvelous talent.

There's a full bootleg on YouTube filmed during her run in 'Next to Normal', opposite Jason Danieley. Christ, what a talent. And to think she could also do 'Kiss Me, Kate', 'Passion', 'Spamalot', 'Ragtime' - all with equal ease and skill. She even pulled of Margaret White.

RIP Marin, and the warmest of thoughts to Jason and her loved ones.

And Anna and Lily Garland

She was very poignant on an episode of Without a Trace.

Such sad news. I only worked with her once (in the mid 1990s) and found her to be so lovely, kind, generous and TALENTED.

She made it look so easy.

Fuck off and die, control freak.

No one wants to talk with you controlling assholes in your shitty theater thread, "my dear."

It takes an incredibly powerful voice and stage presence to commit to this.

She was also gorgeous and funny in an early Encores version of Cole Porter's Out of This World. She sang a brilliant duet of From This Moment On with Gregg Edelmann and even managed to make him sound interesting.

A musical theater actor--who can play multiple roles?? What will they think up next!

No offense to the brilliant Marin's memory but I find it remarkable that there'd be posters on this thread who don't follow the Theatre Gossip Threads.

RIP dear Marin.

You pop balloons at children's parties don't you, r24?

A genuine loss, in a year of so many notable deaths.

^for r23

I love her version of Losing My Mind at the Soundheim Anniversary Concert

She’s playing Phyllis in heaven now.

She was fabulous, beautiful, and talented. She and her Husband Jason Daniely were great at Sondheim's 80th Birthday concert.

Who's playing Sally, r29?

A friend just told me. She was one of the best in all my 35 years doing this bway thing.

Was she a trannie ??

It's fitting she have her own thread, rather than having to share with all of the Follies loons.

Ugh.

This is so sad.

What a gorgeous, genuine smile. It's sad when the good ones leave us so young. She was incredibly brave to continue performing while dealing with her illness. Bless her soul....now she can rest and sing with the angels.

So sad but let’s be honest. She was lovely and talented but strictly a third-tier Broadway star.

Oh no....such a talent. I always hoped she would get a Tony one day. So sad

Yes, thanks for bringing it up.

Didn't know her but she seemed lovely. She looks so alive and vital during the interview and now she's gone.

I've a loved one, same age, same diagnosis, just in remission now. I can't help but be afraid of the future.

Schee was no me.

Never forgot one of the first previews of Passion with Marin in bed with Jere Shea. Her big pink nipples and his very hairy ass. From that point onward, the show went down the drain.

I should've given her the name of my doctor.

She was an amazing talent and such a sweet person, but I have to say she sucked big time in 20th Century at r11. Yikes!

Who?

[quote]Who?

The person whose performance you are enjoying at R40. Memory issues, Pat?

This is the first time I've gasped while reading a death notice on Datalounge. She was talented and beautiful. Such a shame, etc.

However.

I call dibs on her husband.

The theater threads aren't everyone's cup of tea, R24. A little condescending and cliquish.

But I admit I still didn't think people would complain about a separate thread for Mazzie. Sheesh

I know this song was written by Maury Yeston, but I don't know if it's from some show or other.

Will her Husband be gay now?

R51, you fucking nasty Queen!

Go away, r51.

I saw Kelli O'Hara and then her in KING AND I, and Mazzie was much better as Anna IMO. Of course, she didn't have to play opposite the "WTF were they thinking when they cast him" Ken Watanabe.

In some ways I liked her better in NEXT TO NORMAL vs. Alice Ripley. Ripley was a very uneven singer, though the crazy came to her more naturally.

Yet Melania, Ivanka and Kim Gilfoul live on.

Marin Mazzie was a stellar performer and an even better person.

From the hometown newspaper.

Heather Headley posted this lovely tribute.....her voice is one of my favorites, I wish Twitter would allow the whole song. Marin was beautifully talented and a beautiful woman.

This version of Ring Them Bells is even better than the one already posted. Seth Rudetsky was sitting on it. So to speak. Mazzie was a great talent, too gorgeous for her own good.

Felt lucky I got to meet her a few times at the Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS Annual Flea Market. She was as lovely as she was talented.

Why couldn't it have been Hillary, Nancy or Stormy?

She also played Lalume in "Kismet" at Encores and was sensational.

I am so lucky to have seen her in "The King and I". It was as good as any performance I've seen by a singing actress.

Donna Murphy shared some beautiful sentiments on IG.
