She was REAL Broadway talent.

I first saw her in ORPHEUS DESCENDING and was shocked years later to see her in a musical! And stopping the show no less.

They don't make 'em like Marcia Lewis anymore.

The news of her passing makes me very sad. I first saw her as Fraulein Schneider in the national tour of CABARET with Joel Grey, and almost 10 years later I saw her on Broadway in CHICAGO. She was a radiant performer with a big voice, which we will be able to enjoy for years to come on her great solo recording. Rest in peace.

So sad.

I always wished I had seen her as Mama in Chicago.


RIP.

I hope she's livin' it up in the great beyond. I'll never forget being 15 and her winking at me during "When You're Good to Mama" as I sat in the front row.

I've been a fan of hers ever since she replaced Mary Jo Catlett in the original DOLLY! She was also an impressive Winifred in ONCE UPON A MATTRESS in a dinner theater out here on Long Island.

May she rest in peace.

Talk about class: she had it in spades. RIP.

Was at The Saturday matinee of "Grease" when the show was stopped and Rosie in tears came out in front of the curtain and announced that Marcia had fallen through a trap door on the stage. After a long intermission, the show continued and I'll be damned if she didn't finish the show. And her drunk Miss Lynch was hilarious. At the 'Grease" Cast album record signing, I asked how she was doing and she told me she was still going to a Chiropractor and would for awhile. A real talent and a real trouper.

Joey, hadn't she retired? I thought that once she married, she and her husband took up residence somewhere in the southwest. I think it was New Mexico.

Awwww I'll never forget meeting her at the stage door after Chicago back in 1997 and I just told her how much I enjoyed the show and her performance, and she just smiled and said "When your good to mama, mama's good to you" and she gave me a big hug and kiss. Rest in peace!
