Denver Center for the Performing Arts President and Broadway Executive Director Randy Weeks would have loved the celebration of his life Monday at The Buell Theatre where friends and colleagues paid tribute to the indelible foot print he made on Denver’s theater community.
It was a Broadway-worthy production with musical numbers and loving memories shared by family members and close friends. Weeks, who died of unknown causes in a London hotel room on Oct. 9, was 59 years old.
Weeks was fondly remembered by his brother, Joel Weeks, and two sisters, Pam Weeks and Stephanie Gamble, who shared stories of growing up in Laconia, N.H. He was lauded for being a generous and loving brother and uncle to his nieces and nephews.
Weeks’ fraternity brothers from Kappa Sigma at CU Boulder paid tribute to their fallen brother; lifelong friends told tales; actors sang “I Love a Piano” and “Old Cape Cod”, the cast of “Kinky Boots” sang “Give My Regards to Broadway” and students from the Denver School of the Arts performed “One” from “A Chorus Line.”
At the end, Weeks went out with a bang when confetti canons shot their paper ammunition over the audience.
It was not a time for tears. It was time to remember a life well lived.
