We lost a dreamer.

PRODUCER’S PERSPECTIVE: "On the last day of September, we lost a real Broadway gentleman.
Mr. Sonny Everett, one of the Producers of Avenue Q, Drowsy Chaperone, In the Heights and a whole bunch more, passed away, way too prematurely."

Though his passing is sad, it's encouraging to hear that after years of attempts this man achieved his lifelong dreams. Theater is a hard industry, and it took Everret decades to achieve his dreams. Still, this man earned great recognition for his plays, and I can only hope one day with enough hard work i can be even half as greatly appreciated. With his fantastic produced works, i'm sure Everret will be long remembered.

Dear Sonny

You were a wonderful man with a vision, no matter the size. It's so unfortunate that a man like yourself had to pass away. You had great dreams, and didn't let the size of them turn you away. With your hard work and go-to attitude, you got to a place that many dream of. You had a personality like no other, and will be sorely missed.

Rest well, you won't be forgotten.

This a sad passing, but he leaves quite a legacy behind him. Not only was he a successful producer, he also contributed to some of the most beloved musicals of our time.

It's great to see a producer with such a true eye for what's important to see on Broadway. All of his musicals brought something new to the scene, which we seem to be lacking these days.

Great to hear someone is achieving their dreams. It gives me inspiration to follow through with my dreams, and sometimes that's needed when getting through this business can prove difficult.

He will be greatly missed.
