Quotidian Theatre Company’s ‘The Dead’ Part 3: Interview of Marni Nixon by Janice Hall

In the final segment of our interview, Marni Nixon and I are joined by David Dubov, who will be playing the role of Freddy Malins in the Quotidian Theatre production of James Joyce’s The Dead. David and Marni discuss their roles, and Marni talks about her interactions with actor Stephen Spinella, who played Freddy in the Broadway production.

During the Broadway run and tour of The Dead, Marni faced some personal health challenges, and she talks a bit about that. She also discusses costume authenticity, and her sightings of the famed Belasco Theater ghost.
