Ron Simons Dies: ‘Thoughts Of A Colored Man’ Broadway Producer With Four Tony Awards Was 63


Ron Simons, a Broadway producer on four Tony Award-winning shows, died Wednesday at age 63.

Credits include appearances on Nowhere Man, Jonny Zero, the various Law & Order franchise series, Marvel’s The Defenders, Daredevil, Succession and, on the big screen, 27 Dresses, Blue Caprice and After The Wedding. While continue to book acting jobs through 2019 (his most recent was the TV series The Resident), Simons increasingly focused on producing, at first in film ( Night Catches Us, starring Kerry Washington and Anthony Mackie, in 2010) and then, with greater impact, on Broadway. Despite strong reviews, Thoughts of a Colored Man was forced to shorten its expected run due to poor ticket sales, one of the many shows that struggled as Covid still ravaged the industry.
