Andy Halliday, an actor and playwright known for his remarkable ability to engage audiences, passed away on May 5 in Palm Springs, California, at the age of 73. His sister, Susan Cohen, confirmed that Halliday died due to complications from Parkinson’s disease.
Halliday gained fame as an original member of Charles Busch’s Theater in Limbo repertory company. He played a key role in the success of ‘Vampire Lesbians of Sodom,’ a staple of Off-Broadway theater.
Paul Rudnick, a playwright and screenwriter, described Halliday as irresistibly funny, comparing his comedic style to that of Carol Burnett and Imogene Coca.
Initially, Halliday aimed for a dance career. He met Busch at a New Hampshire theater camp, where both were cast as dancing newsboys in ‘Gypsy.’ Despite Busch’s struggle with dance, Halliday helped him master a tap number, sparking a lasting friendship.
In 1984, over a decade after their camp encounter, Busch was unexpectedly offered a chance to stage a production at the Limbo Lounge in Manhattan, shaping Halliday’s future in theater.
