Posted: 4/30/14 at 10:09pmSome Broadway greats, including Kate Baldwin, are tweeting and Facebooking their love for Nicholas Martin, "wherever he may be now". Can anyone confirm or deny the passing of this wonderful director?

Jenny Gersten tweeted it.
What a sad loss!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

A lovely remembrance from Paul Rudnick, with a tribute video from the Huntington Theatre.
