Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The Broadway community is mourning the loss of one of its own as actress Marin Mazzie died after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer at the age of 57.
"The divine and courageous Marin Mazzie was #TonyAwards-nominated for PASSION, RAGTIME, and KISS ME, KATE. We join with her husband, Broadway's Jason Danieley, her friends and family, and all her fans to mourn her untimely passing. Rest in peace," the Tony Awards Twitter account said Thursday.
"Grateful to @leslieodomjr for snapping these pics & sending them to me last night I made it a point never to miss Marin in anything (her Next to Normal performance with Danieley, my god), it meant the world when they came to see us. What a light, how lucky we were," Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted.
