| I liked him best in his oppositional mode to Broadway and the big non-profits. Every civilization gets the theater it deserves, and we get Miss Saigon, which means we can now say definitively that our civilization is over. |

| Agree. And a most kind man. I wrote to him often and he always replied graciously. | |

| Michael Feingold will be best remembered as the Village Voice's esteemed theater critic. And he was chairman of the Obie Award . But he also was a playwright/translator, earning 2 Tony Award nominations for his book and lyrics to Brecht and Weill's ''Happy End'' (1977). (I once exchanged emails with Michael, after I posted on this board about Anna May Wong. Turns out he was a great admirer of her movies, too.) |

| Another giant has left us. I first learned about Mr. Feingold in my mid teens, as I started falling head over heels with the works of Weill and Brecht, which led me to his translations, which I think still hold up today. From there I discovered his work as a critic as well. His writing was then and is now indispensable. May he rest in peace. |

| That just hit me like a ton of bricks. He was the crème de la crème of everything he attempted in life. I was privileged to spend time talking to him many times over the years and I never left the conversation without far more insight than when I arrived. At the same time, he was also a person who learned from others (although not always without pushback :-) ). I also just smiled thinking about a couple of things involving Michael that have nothing to do with the theatre. Requiescet in pace. |

| Do you know what his life has been like these last few years? Did he ever have a partner? | |

| Oh, how sad, if true (I have no reason to doubt the poster). He was one of the truly great critics--I learned so much about how to think and write about theatre from reading him in the Voice. I was pleased when, some years ago, he one of the finalists for the Pulitzer, but sad, then and now, that he did not receive it. | |
