Diana Baffa-Brill Dies: Broadway Choreographer, Dancer And Keeper Of The ‘Mame’ Flame Was 81
Diana Baffa-Brill, a dancer and choreographer with a long association with the musical 'Mame,' died in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 13. She was 81.
The following year would bring her longest-lasting association, when in 1966 she became both a performer and the dance captain in Broadway’s Mame starring Angela Lansbury, choreographed by White. Seventeen years later, in 1983, she would return to Broadway with Lansbury in a Mame revival, this time serving to recreate White’s original choreography. Born July 23, 1943 and raised in Long Island, New York, Baffa-Brill, in addition to her Broadway career, taught dance classes, and directed and choreographed productions all over the world, including Israel, Hungary and Argentina.
