Broadway star Ken Page, who voiced the character Oogie Boogie in the classic animated film "The Nightmare Before Christmas," has died.
Born and raised in St. Louis, Page's theater career spanned decades. He made his Broadway debut in the all-Black revival of "Guys and Dolls" as Nicely-Nicely Johnson. He would later play the Lion in "The Wiz" and Old Deuteronomy in "Cats." He was introduced to a global audience as Old Deuteronomy in a 1998 video recording of the Andrew Lloyd Webber show. Page's Broadway and West End credits also included "Guys & Dolls" and "Ain't Misbehavin.'
Since 2015, Page has also served as "the voice of The Muny" and appeared in more than 45 musicals at the St. Louis outdoor summer theater. The St. Louis Arts and Education Council also awarded Page a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
