This is a very sad loss. Ken Page was beloved especially by the Broadway community but well beyond. I’ll always be glad that as an usher at D.C.’s National Theater in the late 1980s I could watch him night after night in the revival of Ain’t Misbehavin’ …
I’m still stunned by last night’s terrible news. Ken Page died suddenly. He was the one and only Oggie Boogie Man. He was simply one of the best, most generous souls I know. Full of life and overflowing with joy. Talented and then some. Ken, my friend, you will be deeply missed.
