Edward Strauss

The "Mouse" on Wall Street

Eddie was a kind, gentle man with a heart of gold. I enjoyed his talent & company when he was the conductor for "The Me Nobody Knows". He will be missed...

We mourn the loss of our colleague from the musical - The Me Nobody Knows.
Eddie was an extraordinary musical director and a joyous human being. He conducted the orchestra and cast with a twinkle in his eye and a fine mastery of the music.
We miss him

Eddie was the MD for Urinetown, the first show I really cast from stem to stern and, without doubt one of the great experiences of my career. He was incredibly good at what he did and a sweetheart. It's tragic news. Condolences to all.

Eddie and I first worked together 30 years ago in "La Boheme" at the Public and along the way we enjoyed coming up with 'Stupid Conductor Tricks'. I wouldn't have had the best job and show of my life had it not been for Eddie in 2000 telling the producer 'call him'. Gratitude.

Eddie was a fine conductor and a great musician, of course. But perhaps his greatest talent was being a mensch. I offer my condolences to his family, and wish them happy memories.

Eddie was my friend from the day we met. We worked on Anything Goes and Guys and Dolls together. I would like to be involved with a memorial for him. [email protected]
