Nobody like Rebecca. Brilliant Artist. So deeply loved and missed.
Your Passing today leaves a horrible mark on our hearts and to the Broadway community -- So sing now in God house -- thank you sweet Lady for sharing your beautiful Talent with us all -- please RIP
So sad, especially today. RIP Rebecca.
Oh, dear Rebecca Luker...How could we ever know. But sure as we breathe, you are here inside us, always.
You have chosen a lovely way to express how it feels.
almost 25 years later, and this lady's voice singing this song is still candy to the ears!
Why she had never won the Tony I have no idea.......
Rest inPeace Rebecca. Sing with the Angels Now.
She’s still one of the best Lilly’s in the secret garden....ever.
The best!
Thank you so very incredibly much for posting this gem. Thank you, truly.
First, my thanks to amazing Lucy Simon, and Marsha Norman for a lovely song! Thanks also to my kind friend Susan for sending my way. I've lost track of the ways I adore Ms. Luker; so beautiful, and her voice always soars! She's a genius. Everyone should see this!

Perfection.....!

From husband DANNY BURSTEIN:
“This is a text I just got from Jessica Molaskey.
Thanks, Jess. It means the world to me. “
“There are no words. Only love right now for you and your family and our dear theater family. I don’t remember seeing the whole
Broadway community so gutted by a loss. Not ever. I guess because Becca seemed so other worldly, so born of a place that mere mortals only dream of. So full of light and genius. Yes genius when she opened her mouth. The music and love that poured out of her shining soul shall live forever. In a different time we would all gather on this Christmas Eve and hug you and drink something and sit shiva for your “shiska goddess” and remember stories. I can think of a story about 26 years ago when a troupe of actors went out to dinner in Southern California. We were a large loud table tucked in a corner of a restaurant. Someone, maybe it was our dear George, threw down the gauntlet to tell the dirtiest joke. I might have known one safe one. The winner of the evening was Becca who told joke after filthy joke until our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard. The jokes were somehow funnier coming out of that angelic human. I think she knew it.
The bottom line is we were better for knowing her. I guess that’s the whole point of this mysterious life. Leaving the joint a better place than before you got there. She sure did that. I know you have battalions of wonderful souls who love you. Just want to let you know that if you ever need a shoulder I’m here day or night. Who sleeps these days anyway. I love you.
Xoxoxo Molaskey.
I was privileged to see & hear “Ms. Luker’s angelic voice” as Lily in THE SECRET GARDEN at the Saint James Theatre in 1991 & as Maria Von Trapp in the 1998 revival of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at the Martin Beck Theatre in NYC.
When I said earlier that we lost a lot of people this year...we indeed lost a LOT. We also recently lost NICK CORDERO (Bullets Over Broadway), MARIN MAZZIE (Kiss Me Kate, Passion, Ragtime) and ANNE REINKING (All That Jazz, Annie, Fosse). Broadway just got darker. R.I.P. to ALL WE LOST THIS YEAR.
I shed a tear for those who left us. So gutted...and destroyed watching Ms. Luker perform, proving once again the LOSS we have is great and irreplaceable. Ugh. 2020 can’t get over any sooner for me. It’s just too much....TOO MUCH.
