ANDY ZERMAN Obituary

ZERMAN--Andrew, passed peacefully in his sleep on the evening of January 6, 2019. He is survived by his loving and devoted sister and brother, Lenore and Jared (Amy), nephews and nieces, Mitchell and Adam Zerman, and Gemma and Gillian Balk, Sandy and Samantha Richardson, and too many friends to count. He was predeceased by his parents, Miriam and Melvyn Zerman. Andy was a great lover and contributor to musical theatre, having worked many years as a casting director at Johnson, Liff and Zerman, casting classic Broadway musicals, including Les Miz, Cats and Phantom of the Opera. In more recent years he coached young musical theater talent, imparting his years of experience to novice singers starting to make their way. His brilliant mind, quick wit and ultimately warm heart will be greatly missed. The funeral services will be private. A memorial celebration of Andy's life will be announced at a later date. Donations in his honor can be made to Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights Aids at https://broadwaycares.org

Andy gave me my first opportunity to work with Broadway Companies, playing auditions for Les Miserables in 1989. He also taught me how to be a better sight reader and so many other things. I am forever grateful. Rest well my friend. You are greatly missed. My heart is with all who love you!

My dear Andy, you were a good man. I learned so much from you all those years when caring for you after your accident. Funny, kind, sensitive, so smart and so patient...and so brave. I see you now in my mind surrounded by beautiful warm light, free from the constraints and limitations life gave you in your later years, and I see you up, walking, flying and forever ever free. Sending you my love, Ben.
