Well, who'd have thought there was enough human left in him to die?

Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:09pmI won't believe it until I put my finger in the holes in his hands and the wound in his side.

Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:09pmI have nothing but good things to say about Arthur personally, but I do know others are less cheerful when it comes to him. In any event, this is rather shocking news, to say the least.

Wow, RIP.
He was very nice to me when I spoke to him after a performance of WSS.
Some on here are going to enjoy this news.

Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:12pmBut on a serious note, the man did write the book for two of the greatest American musicals, scratch that, any musicals, of all time.

Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:13pmI sort of don't believe it either. My mouth is still gaping.
#15RIP Arthur Laurents
Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:14pmI mean I figured he's at least live as long as Queen Mother. I sorta got a Tuck Everlasting feel from him.

I'm not all that devastated -- he lived a full life, if not always a happy one. Having said that, he was often a mean-spirited person who made life miserable for many.
#17RIP Arthur Laurents
Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:16pmI am in shock. Wow, this is unbelievable. No matter how terrible his attitude was, he did do amazing things for the American theater and was incredibly talented. RIP.
#18RIP Arthur Laurents
Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:16pmNow it's the time to start worrying about other legends. He was the oldest living legend of Broadway right?

Posted: 5/5/11 at 8:17pmOMG!!! This is shocking! I know he was a difficult man, but one cannot ignore his contributions to the American stage.

Carol's 90, he was 93.
"Carol Channing will never die."
I surely hope so!

It's hard to believe he's really gone. I will be forever grateful for giving me Gypsy, one of my favorite shows and favorite theatrical memories of all time. RIP
