Barrington Stage Company mourns the loss of composer and dear friend William Finn. Bill's unique and incredible talent forever changed the world of musical theater, and his contribution to our company was inestimable.
We were privileged to work with Bill on several projects, most prominently the world premiere of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which went on to international success. His singular voice, emotional intelligence, and wry sense of humor made everything he worked on better, making people laugh, smile, and see deeper into themselves and their world.
As we celebrate his amazing career and the huge influence that he had on us all, we send our deepest condolences to Bill's husband Arthur, his collaborators and friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his songs. His memory will live on through his extraordinary work.
Rest in peace, Bill. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
