Michael Thoma was my brother in law. He was a great and talented man. Sadly, his death was so hard for my sister that in a number of years after he died, she also died. To see him on this video clip really brings up a lot of memories and sadness. I have several of his Broadway posters.

flip, watching Michaels Thoma's face, I cant stop the tears, knowing the story of how the cast knew and seeing Michaels face, sad yet content, you can tell he was a great man, he has a friendly face and loved by those he worked with. RIP Michael, and SusanB444, Im really sorry for the loss of your sister, they are both back together in heaven now.

@SusanB444 Please know that I was a huge fan of the show. Even as a teenager I could see his talent. He was simply amazing & just added that "extra" love for fame. He will truly, truly be missed. So sorry for you lost. Love from the Boogie down Bronx, NYC....
