It's hardly the worst news in the papers today but I was still sad to read of the death of Jerry Orbach. Most folks probably know him for his appearances on Law & Order and other dramatic roles…but a lot of us think of him as a genuine star of Broadway musicals. Matter of fact, Orbach was in the first Broadway musical I ever actually saw in a Broadway theater, 42nd Street. He played the role of the callous, all-business Julian Marsh, who produced musicals but didn't seem to have any music in his soul. That was until about midway through the second act when suddenly, thrillingly, he burst into song with "Lullaby of Broadway." It was one of those "tingle" moments and it worked because Jerry Orbach was just so darn good.
