- This is a tribute to Broadway performer Marin Mazzie who passed from ovarian cancer on September 13, 2018 after dealing with the disease for over three years. Utilizing excerpts from live performances and interviews culled from her 20+ year career, this video was produced for possible use for her husband Jason Danieley, another Broadway performer, to use as an introduction at speaking engagements to introduce Marin to the audience and tell her story in her own words.
I made this video as a tribute to Broadway and concert performer Marin Mazzie. She is survived by her loving husband of twenty-one years and fellow Broadway performer, Jason Danieley.
Marin performed on Broadway in Passion (1994), Ragtime (1998), Kiss Me Kate (1999 revival), Man of La Mancha (2003 revival - replacement), Monty Python's Spamalot (2006 - replacement), Next to Normal (2010 - replacement), Bullets Over Broadway (2014), The King and I (2016 - replacement) and many more. Marin also played the mother in Carrie: The Musical (2012 off-Broadway), performed in Encores! productions of Kismet (2006) and Zorba (2015), and sang frequently on PBS and in many cabaret clubs such as 54 Below and concert venues.
She was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame for 2017, in a ceremony at the Gershwin Theatre held in November 2017. Marin received the first “Phyllis Newman Nothing Like a Dame Award” for her advocacy for OC awareness and other women’s health issues. In April 2019, it was announced that Marin would be the recipient of a posthumous Special Tony Award for her legacy as an advocate for women's health.
Pelvic exams to screen for ovarian cancer have not been shown to decrease the number of deaths from the disease. I'm hoping that Marin's story inspires women to be more aware of their body and promotes further research into the development of accurate screenings to catch the disease early.

Special thanks to WNET, Broadway.com, Playbill, Lincoln Center, WPIX, Metrofocus, 54 Below, and the producers of the Broadway shows in which Marin appeared for the rich array of source material sampled in this tribute. I didn't mean to infringe on any copyrights and am not monetizing this video. I am sure all of the organizations that own the footage contained herein (and available elsewhere on TH-cam) would not have a problem with the material being used as a public service announcement about the dangers of ovarian cancer as well as paying tribute to one of Broadway's Great Ladies.
Beautiful
Thank you again, Chuck, for the thoughtful creation of this video. She was spectacular in all the ways! xx
I send it to my female friends 40+ as Marin and the music ropes them in - and then Marin telling her story makes it personal. I’m 43 now and my female friends are mostly in their 40s-60s and need to be aware of ovarian cancer and how silent and insidious it can be.
I met Marin So many times at 'Kiss Me Kate' and she was always so lovely to me. She will be missed greatly, a lovely lady and a Great talent.😀
She is one of my all-time favorites!! Such a remarkable talent! It breaks my heart her time here was not longer but wow did she ever make her mark! ❤️
She really was one of my favorite ladies of Broadway,..I still can't believe she's gone.
This is GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for making this video and sharing it. Marin was an amazing performer and an even more amazing person.
One of the best Broadway ever produced. 😊
I miss her
A few days ago Donna Murphy’s twitter about her performing at 54 below to honor Marin made me miss her so much and I started to rewatch her performance/interviews on TH-cam, then I found this. I literally wept at the end of the video. Thank you for making this!
She was a treasure. Thank God for these clips so we can enjoy her forver.
Absolutely beautiful!
OMG! I didn’t know she passed away 3 years ago. Another Broadway idol I love is gone. I never met or seen Ann Reinking in person, & I’m still grieving for her death. I can’t believe that Marin passed away. Thanks for this beautiful tribute to one of my favorite Broadway queens 😪🙏
I see now she was really special! And I never heard or saw her during her lifetime. Broadway stars are different. This is very touching. She had a beautiful voice. And I learned there is no way of detecting ovarian cancer early, even if you go to the OB-Gyn every year for check-ups.
This is so beautiful and touching!!!! Thank you!! We love Marin!!!
What a terrible loss...at all levels.seemed like a really lovely lady.
Thank you for this. It's simply stunning. Her passing still brings tears to my eyes
AMAZING on EVERY LEVEL!!!!
A beautiful tribute to one of the great Broadway performers. Thank you so much for sharing this. I tear up every time I watch her in show clips. Such a gorgeous and beautiful heart she leaves beating for all those who long to hear it beat. Thank you!
Forever missed.
I miss her to this day.
I didn't know this. Good heavens.
Damn.
She dazzled me as Lily Garland in the reader's concert of "On the 20th Century" and watching everything else she did saddens me that such a talent was taken so young. Make me very angry at modern medicine and cancer cures (and I'm a nurse, AND my own husband is ill with a rare cancer). Modern Medicine will kill you as it has her and many many many others.
Wait, did Marin only use "healing therapy" or did she seek actual medical treatment?
Oh, Enieledam! She had chemotherapy and surgery in addition to holistic treatments.
Oh, Enieledam! She called chemo “healing therapy.”
