Good lord! RIP Hinton!

Agreed. A lot in one day. I saw him in THE WIZ. I can remember sitting in the theater as a young kid and wanting to be like him onstage. Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace. Sad to lose two great talents in one day. Both triple threats. *sigh*

There's some amazing dancing going on in Heaven tonight. Chita must have needed a partner.

That was my thought also. Always seems to happen in 3's.

A stupendous performer whose name doesn’t seem to come up as often as it should these days. A major loss.

I saw Hinton Battle in Tap Dance Kid and remember being wowed by his performance.
Such a gentle and kind person. Rest in peace.

I worked the stage door when he came through my theater while touring with Dancin' and we because friends. What a lovely person. This is a very sad day.

I'm so glad that I got to see him twice in Miss Saigon. I wish he had done more in recent years!

An amazing talent whose absence from Broadway in the several decades is lamented. May he RIP.

I looked through my souvenir programs for Dancin' and Sophisticated Ladies, and he had already departed those shows when I got around to seeing them. Thankfully I saw him as John in Miss Saigon.
