Oh, my god.
Roger Rees has gone on to the footlights in the sky.
He was lovely. Like a lot of people, I knew of him first as Nicholas Nickleby, in the mammoth nine-hour production of Dickens's novel. Although he was clearly too old for the role, he captured the sweet honor and despairing compassion of the character, as well as his hopefulness, dreams, and courage. That he went on to so much success never surprised me at all.
Finale (Good Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen) - from The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
If you haven't seen this, you should. It's out on DVD. A great thing to make part of a holiday tradition, I think. I watch it every year around the holidays.
Thank you, good man, for all your great work. You'll be so missed.
