On Monday, January 19th at New World Stages, the Broadway community gathered to honor the late Greg Reuter. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you a look inside the concert.
This concert celebration honored the life of this amazing man, and featured performances and remembrances of Greg by many of the Broadway luminaries and friends with whom he shared the stage.
Performers included Hank Azaria (Spamalot), Brian D'Arcy James (Shrek), David Garrison (Bells Are Ringing), Chirstopher Sieber (Spamalot, Shrek), Jen Cody (Shrek), as well as cast members from Chicago, Fosse, Shrek, The Producers, Joseph..., and Spamalot, and many, many others.
Greg Reuter (1971-2014): Greg was a working actor for 20 years -- his final curtain came too soon. He appeared in the casts of eight Broadway shows including Shrek, Spamalot, Chicago, Fosse, Aida, Bells Are Ringing, and numerous other productions.
He was a passionate educator who passed on the gift of the creative arts to a new generation, most recently as musical theatre and choreography professor at Michigan State University. But his most important roles were as son, brother, uncle, nephew and great friend to so many of us.
