. Hope it all goes well!
Oh no!
I thought she was in remission, did it come back? Or did I imagine that?
So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with her and her loved ones. May it all turn out well.
Where did you hear this? I hope she gets better!
It's been on Facebook. It sounds like a small amount of cancer remains in her system. She is one strong woman!
She's a goddess. She'll kick that cancer's butt!
Here's wishing you life, Marin!
She performed that role and sang that opening number while she was getting her first diagnosis and treatment.
This woman's life and talent and spirit give me life.
Please let's all just pray for her or whatever you do to keep someone in your thoughts.
Her husband, Jason Danieley, has said that fans can leave pictures of sunflowers or pictures of themselves wearing teal (the Ovarian Cancer Awareness color) on Marin's Facebook page to show support and bring cheer. Truly, miss Mazzie is a goddess. I was lucky enough to meet her at the SD of "n2n." She signed my "Passion" DVD insert and could not have been more classy or lovely.
After seeing PASSION I was curious as to whether or not Murphy's makeup changed at all during the show so I stage doored afterwards. Waiting for Murphy, I was standing next to Marin who was chatting with friends. All of a sudden a familiar looking woman who was briskly walking by accidently stepped on my foot. Marin quickly turned to me and said, "You do realize Chita Rivera just stepped on your foot?" I replied, "Well I'm glad it wasn't me who stepped on hers." She laughed and we exchanged a few words. She is an extremely sweet classywoman.
She's in my prayers and I wish her and her husband all the best.

So sorry to hear this. Wishing her strength and the best of health.
She truly is a talent and inspiration. All my prayers to her for strength and a full recovery.
I so appreciate revisiting her ZORBA performance ^, the clips of which I thought were taken down, since I was there for the penultimate performance and now know all she was experiencing. Prayers and light and sunflowers. We have no better singing actress in the theater. Period.
So sad. After I opened my tweeter account and before I learned of the futility of tweeting most celebrities, I tweeted Marin that I believed her performances of "Wunderbar" and "So in Love" had never been surpassed in any other production of Kiss me, Kate. She highlighted my tweet.
But citizens must be aware that the billions upon billions of dollars donated in the fight against cancer have not all been well spent. There has been so much duplicative research performed at different institutions when cooperation would have meant quicker progress at a much lower price.
The cost of new chemotherapy drugs under patent is beyond outrageous. Almost all of the drugs fail to perform as advertised, but much of the money donated for development just ends up lining the pockets of the company executives.
And I'm a Republican. Well, not really anymore. I'm independent, as all should be.
People are saying she has passed away on twitter but I can’t find any sources. Really hope it isn’t true.
This is very upsetting. Prayers to her husband and family.
People are starting to react on her facebook....I still am not going to choose to believe this until we hear something more official. It is so upsetting.
No no no....

"Hearing from industry sources that actress #MarinMazzie has passed... one of the greats of our time... she will be missed. Rest now, friend. Your voice and your talent will live on forever..."
Also, there is a tweet from Broadway Buzz saying the same thing.
Nothing is confirmed, but both those tweets are what seem to be starting everything.
No no no NO. I refuse to believe this until we have an official statement.
This just knocked the wind out of me. This CANNOT be true.
Audra just tweeted: "Love big and be kind. Life is too short and too precious to be anything else."
I am so deeply heartbroken and sad right now...
