Margo has got to be the most professional poster on these boards, and I always appreciate her insight.

I don't think it is even humanly possible to dislike Margo...which is saying something considering the attitudes 'round this place.

BWW would not be the same without Margo!

Does anyone know whatever happened to MargoChanning?

I wonder if anyone in here knew MargoChanning personally?   The general belief is that he passed away.  I feel a sense of wistfulness regarding this person, who was much loved.  This  item seems to be his  last post (from 2007).  Sigh.     https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=927147#

I found this post from him (2008).  https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=955560#3443179  (listed as his most recent message and seemingly...last).

How sad. He seemed to be a treasure trove of Broadway knowledge and well liked.

I can confirm that Margo passed away sometime in 2008. I don't recall the exact cause, but I believe it was sudden. I didn't know him well, but we had a mutual friend and would often run into each other at the theater. I knew who he was through this board and was initially intimidated by him, since his knowledge base was so vast. In person, though, he was very warm and unassuming. Sadly, our mutual friend who first told me of his death has also passed. I don't think I'm violating his privacy to say that Margo's real name was James, and he was an attorney in regular life.

Thanks for the info, and my condolences on the loss of both him and your mutual friend.

I do seem to remember it being posted that Margo had passed. If I remember it was in the middle of a thread somewhere.

You can still find his posts here. I went to his profile a while back and just read through some of his comments. I honestly forget how I got to them! Really miss him.

The "Does Effie White need to be heavy?" thread that was recently necroed has a good amount of wealth from Margo in it (I think it was actually one he started)

I'd never say Margo was a dear friend, but we socialized a bit and he came to number of shows I was in and was always so friggin supportive.  And that bitch was FUNNY. We saw IN MY LIFE together with the also dearly departed iflitifloat and it was absolutely suck, f*ck, duck, lemony heaven.  His 'review' of it on this site is some truly great writing.

Such loss.  But I'm grateful that this forum exists to have on record the extraordinary musings of Margo and iflitifloat and others who have gone on to whatever is next.

I remember the "In My Life" review. And you are correct!

And AEA, you are correct. He did start the Effie thread.

I was the one who mentioned his passing in the middle of the “Effie” thread...he was one of the best reasons to stop by and soak up his knowledge....he is deeply missed.
