Tonight Broadway's Jason Danieley revealed a special tribute to his late wife, Marin Mazzie.
In honor of his late spouse, seat M101 at Lincoln Center Theater now displays a small plaque inscribed with her favorite quotes from the musicals Ragtime and Kiss Me, Kate, two of Mazzie's signature shows, along with her name.
Mazzie originated the role of Mother in the original Broadway production of RAGTIME, for which she received Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics nominations.
She received Tony and Drama Desk nominations and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance as Lilli/Katharine in the hit revival of KISS ME, KATE, and later received an Olivier Award nomination when she made her West End debut in the show.
See Jason's loving tribute below:
The next time you are at @lctheater stop by seat M101 and say hello to Marin. We had a plaque in her memory placed there in perpetuity. It says "Marin Mazzie - You were my sky, my moon and my stars and my ocean. So in love with you, my love, am I". She was and I am. (Quotes from two of her Broadway triumphs #RAGTIME and #KISSMEKATE). @marinmazzie #broadway #singer #theloveofmylife #missingher
