Judd was a huge supporter of theater. I'd never met anyone with such a passion for the art form. When I started my theater company, he met our first performance by taking the entire cast in a limo to his apartment where he shared an amazing meal of fried chicken and sweet potato pie. And working with him on Country Girl for an audition was an absolute gift. Judd will not be forgotten!

Judd was always incredibly supportive and generous to me. I've never met someone who loved music and theatre as much as he did. I'll forever be thankful for our friendship.
