<p>The husband of a beloved Broadway musical-theater star has been killed.
Michael Wittenberg was one of four people killed yesterday in a helicopter crash in Montenegro. He was 43, and the husband of actress Bernadette Peters.
Last summer, my D approached Ms. Peters in a NYC restaurant. The star was gracious enough to chat with her-- even offering encouragement about my Ds hope for a MT career.
I know I speak for the entire CC community in expressing profound sympathy.</p>
<p>Yes, it is so terrible. I already knew about this and had read it elsewhere last night. Such a tragedy. She was just performing Sunday night at the Broadway benefit for Katrina and then this. Lots of hearts go out to her at this time of great sorrow. I almost can't imagine Bernadette without a smile because she is so "on" on stage. How sad that tragedy has befallen her off stage.
