NEW YORK – Ken Page, the famed Broadway star and voice actor, has died at the age of 70.

The iconic artist known for his booming baritone voice died on September 30, according to Playbill. The cause of death has not been shared.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Page quickly rose to fame on Broadway after his performance as the Lion in the original Broadway run of “The Wiz.”

He won a Drama Desk Award for his role as Nicely-Nicely Johnson in “Guys and Dolls.” He appeared in the original company of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin” and also played the role of Old Deuteronomy in ‘Cats’.

He preferred live performances, but was the voice of Oogie Boogie in Tim Burton’s classic stop-motion film “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

Danny Elfman, the musician and composer who performed with Page as the singing voice of Jack Skellington and composed the music “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” posted on social media after Page’s death.

“I am still stunned by last night’s terrible news. Ken Page died suddenly. He was the one and only Oggie Boogie Man. He was simply one of the best, most generous souls I know. Full of life and overflowing with joy. Talented and then some. Ken, my friend, you will be greatly missed,” he said.
