Episode Details

Ken Page holds a special place among the pantheon of entertainers who have both hailed from St. Louis and who’ve chosen to call the city home. Page died Monday at the age of 70. We hear Page’s hit roles including in “Cats” and “The Wiz,” and as the voice of Oogie Boogie in “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” We also listen back to Page when he was a guest on this show in 2019, after receiving the Arts and Education Council’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The Muny’s Mike Isaacson also shares his memories. Page performed in more than 45 Muny productions.
