The Visit was filmed for the NYPL archives, without Roger Rees though

That is a shame. I guess the shortness of the run was the reason. At least Chita's performance was preserved.

In a very appropriate move, lights will be dimmed for Roger at 7:45 on July 15.

Rest in Peace Roger Rees.
The lights will be dimmed for him

Memorial presentation will be held for Rees at the New Amsterdam on September 21st, and I believe it will be open to the public. Hoping to go.

I was at TKTS one very slow day and got a pair of tickets to A Man of No Importance. I knew nothing about the show, and we were startled to find our seats were fifth-row-center.
Roger played the lead role with such delicacy and such heartfelt honesty. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon that production in that way. It's an afternoon at the theatre I will never forget.

Does anyone have any details about the Sept. 21st memorial at the New Amsterdam? Like admission prices, etc.? I really do want to attend this but I need all the pertinent info...

Anyone make it to the memorial? Sounds like it was a wonderful event.

It was extraordinary.
His spirit, love, enthusiasm and generosity were captured beautifully by all who spoke and performed in his honor. My life is so much richer for having known him.

Bumping this to post some scans of a People Magazine article about Roger Rees, published during his time on Broadway as Nicholas Nickleby sometime in the fall of 1981. Thanks to my sister Sarah for scanning the pages!
ETA: Dang, the links aren't working. Sorry, I'll work with it tonight and try to get it fixed!

If this doesn't work, I can give it another go...

I'm still kind of kicking myself for not getting myself to that New Amsterdam tribute. And I really can't get over just how sudden his passing was. I was listening to The Visit's OBCR and wondering, "Jeez, Roger sat in a studio and sang this just a few months ago- and had no idea it would be his last." It really makes you think...

I'm not sure if I'm reading your post correctly, but I'm pretty sure he knew that recording would likely be his last.
