Cy Feuer, R.I.P.

That's a photo of Rudy Vallee, Maureen Arthur and Robert Morse in the original Broadway production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, produced by Cy Feuer and Ernie Martin. The two men were also responsible for Where's Charley?, Can Can, The Boy Friend, Silk Stockings, Little Me, Guys and Dolls and a batch of other Broadway shows and even a few movies, including the much-acclaimed 1972 Cabaret.

Mr. Feuer died today at the age of 95. He needs no greater testimonial to his success than to just list those shows. A lot of men have been heralded as major Broadway producers with just two like that. For the rest of time, actors will be performing and audiences will be enjoying works made possible by the producing savvy of Feuer and Martin.
