73 is too young to die and it is especially sad to know that he was waiting to receive a lung for a transplant.

I saw Robert Goulet as Lancelot in the OBC of CAMELOT back in 1961. It is a tribute to his acting skills that I was annoyed at his coming across as so arrogant, when that is the nature of the character. I also love him on the OBCR of Kander & Ebb's THE HAPPY TIME.

What very sad news.

I had the pleasure of seeing Goulet in THE HAPPY TIME and LA CAGE, as well as a Music Fair tour of I DO! I DO! He was a charismatic performer and his voice was a true gem. His singing in LA CAGE was supple and rich--you'd never know that he was in his 70's when he did that show.

Musical Theater has lost a legend.

I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Goulet in three separate touring productions over the years; first in South Pacific, next in Camelot, and finally in Man of La Mancha.

As a matter of fact, the first professional musical production I remember seeing was Goulet as Emile DeBeque in South Pacific sometime around 1987. I can still remember how entranced I was by his "Some Enchanted Evening" and "This Nearly Was Mine".

I am so thankful that I was able to see this legend of the theatre perform and will never forget those experiences. I am deeply saddened by his passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and the rest of his family.

The theatre community has lost another one of its icons.

RIP Robert.

If anyone wants to see him truly in his prime, the Broadway's Lost Treasures III DVD has a fantastic excerpt from "The Happy Time." He was a leading man of the first rank, certainly.
