Broadway Lights Dim to Honor Robert Goulet

(New York, NY – October 31, 2007) The Broadway community mourns the loss of Robert Goulet, the celebrated Broadway, television, and movie star whose initial fame came from his role as Sir Lancelot in Camelot on Broadway opposite Richard Burton and Julie Andrews. The role earned him a Theatre World Award and he went on to win a Best Actor Tony Award in 1968 for his role in A Happy Time.

The marquees of Broadway theatres in New York and in cities across North America will be dimmed in his memory on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 at exactly 8 p.m. for one minute.

Mr. Goulet's most notable Broadway and touring Broadway credits include: Sunshine Town, Thunder Rock, The Optimist, Dream Girl, Carousel, Finian’s Rainbow, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Pajama Game, Beggars Opera, Bells Are Ringing, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Happy Time, I Do, I Do, On A Clear Day, Kiss Me Kate, The Fantasticks, South Pacific, Camelot (as King Arthur), Moon Over Buffalo, Man Of La Mancha, and most recently, La Cage aux Folles.

On his loss, Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of the League of American Theatres and Producers, commented: “We will dearly miss this enchanting and charismatic entertainer who has charmed audiences throughout the world. He is a national treasure who gave his life to his first love, theatre.”

Robert Goulet was a legend on Broadway, not just in musicals in New York but also in many touring productions that visited Broadway theatres across the country.

Pat Halloran, President of the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee, had this to say about his friend. “When Robert was in a show and touring the country, we knew that the production would be a success. As Yul Brynner is synonymous with The King and I, Robert Goulet is the legend of Camelot. People loved and admired his commanding stage presence and powerful and beautiful voice. Touring Broadway presenters across the country can only hope for another star as committed to making theatrical magic possible for everyone.”

In honor of his dedication to touring Broadway, Mr. Goulet was given the “Distinguished Lifetime Service Award for Touring Broadway” by the League of American Theatres and Producers at the Touring Broadway Awards in 2000.

Mr. Goulet died on October 30 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 73.
